Behaviour+Management

Behaviour management is an important aspect of a class for all teachers.

This year I have trailed a number of approaches to behaviour management and found that the best and most effective strategy is to be positive and proactive. By concentrating on the good behaviour I’ve found that other children soon follow. Being proactive worked well by including my students in the setting up of our class behaviour system, they knew exactly what was expected of them right from the start. I found that it allowed them to have ownership and pride in their classroom.

Setting expectations for behaviour from the beginning with the students is essential. Using such things as, a class treaty, personalised sticker charts and a whole class reward system are important features of my management.

I aim to create a well-managed classroom where the children fell safe and comfortable. I believe my behaviour management strategies will enforce a positive, well managed, happy classroom environment.
