  1. Behaviour Management Geoff Petty Sue Cowley

  2. Behaviour can become a concern As NQTs we are not always taught explicitly how to do certain things Writing on the whiteboard is harder than it seems! CPD is YOUR responsibility Some things are left to our own discretion Behaviour management is subject to your own prerogative

  3. Set the scene How you exhibit yourself is crucial to the students Setting the scene in the first 5 minutes is the most vital part of the lesson An introduction can help build rapport

  4. Firefighting! Petty (1993, p110)argues that 1-find the REAL problem 2-agree a solution 3-set a target 4-follow up with an evaluation nip it in the bud -preventative action

  5. Cowleys Seven Cs of Behaviour Management Cowley, S. (2006) Getting the Buggers to Behave. London: Continuum. Engage students with the seven C s to administer acceptable behaviour and create harmony within the classroom

  6. Seven Cs(not seas) Communication Confidence Carrots and consequences Consistency Control Choice creativity

  7. Communication Clarity of communication is key (alliteration also helps) Teaching is essentially the art of communication -Cowley 2012 Best way to reach all students? Using appropriate terminology Good communication is about reciprocity

  8. confidence NQTs are not the most confident A difficult class erodes confidence? Create an aura of confidence Positive body language Faith in your own abilities

  9. Carrots and consequences (medal and mission) Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation the motorway effect -drawing boundaries the marshmallow effect -incentives

  10. Consistency Consistent behaviour breeds uniformity Aim to treat everyone the same equality

  11. Control The teacher is in control of the classroom this it NOT a democracy If the teacher is not in control difficult students can? Keep calm! Control space and layout

  12. Choice Difficult/disruptive behaviour is a CHOICE Encourage students to make the right choices Be clear about what options the students have available to them language of choice -give the student a choice with appropriate threat

  13. Creativity Differentiation adds character to the lesson Engage different learning styles (visual, auditory, kinaesthetic) Engage different theories of teaching (humanist, behaviourist) Take chances, and attempt different techniques, take risks
