There are various strategies which can be put in place to help support and promote positive behaviour within schools. School policies outline expectations required by school of how they wish their students to behave. And outline some strategies and consequences of actions.
As soon as the new school academic year begins, boundaries and behaviour expecations should be made clear by the school. A Home/School Agreement should be sent home and signed by both the parents/carers and the student. This should outline what is exceptable behaviour and what is not.
When work begins in the classroom, the teacher should outline and display their set of classroom rules. These should be discussed and agreed with all students. This give clear guidelines to

If we do this, we are more like to keep the students engaged and not have them creating problems around the classroom. And providing necessary support when it is needed. If a child finds that they are unable to do the task, they will then become distracted. As soon as a TA realises that they are having problems, the TA should approach them to ask what they are stuck on, talk about the problem in simple terms, using non-flowery language. And talk them through the problem, but only lead. If the student feels that they have solved the problem they will feel a sense of achievement and will then wish to continue unaided. Use of rewards systems are highly effective. By giving the students the responsibility at the beginning of each day of choosing their reward, you are laying down the expectation that they must earn a certain amount stars during the day to get that reward. At the end of each lesson the teacher should discuss with any child who has not earned a star what the problem was, and give them every chance to earn that star back so that they can receive their reward. This system promotes
the behaviour that is expected of the school for the children. Furthermore, the reward method that is
The first strategy I would implement in my classroom is setting a specific set of rules for students to adhere to while at school. Ruby Payne, writer for ASCD, formerly known as the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, believes:
The teachers’ job is to provide clear and concise communication to their students directly, explaining what is expected out of them and how they are to meet those expectations (Charles, 2014). Teachers should rationalize any rules that have rewards or consequences to their students to ensure they have a clear understanding. Implementing classroom procedures and rules is important for creating a classroom management routine and teachers have to be consistent in order for the system to work (Charles, 2014). Performing rudimentary day-to-day activities continually during the first few weeks of school will leave little room for error for the future (Charles,
I believe every student is entitled to a safe learning environment where they can reach their full potential academically and behaviorally. Students will reach their full potential in a positive learning environment. The positive learning environment will be established from the beginning of the year providing a lasting impact on the students academic, and behavior performance throughout the entire year. The positive learning environment will be a classroom setting, which allows students to feel welcomed, safe, and important on daily basis allowing learning to occur to its fullest potential. To ensure my students are in a positive learning environment there must be a behavior management plan clearly explaining the expectations I have for my students. Throughout my behavior management plan I will explain how I plan to implement expectations so students act accordingly. My behavior management plan will be individually tailored to my students allowing me to push them to their fullest potential to by taking into consideration each student’s behavior and personal needs.
Comet State School Behaviour Management Plan Comet State School in Queensland issues their staff members with a ‘Responsible Behaviour Plan’ for dealing with students who misbehave either inside or outside the classroom. The plan states a range of actions for them to take when faced with student misbehaviour, and the consequences that should be involved for behaviour that does not comply with the school’s expectations and standards. It is stated on the plan that consequences may be used to, “provide the opportunity for all students to learn; ensure the safety of staff and students; [and] assist students who exhibit challenging behaviours to accept responsibility for themselves and their actions.” (Comet State School, 2012) By using these consequences, authorised by Education Queensland, the best interests of the school community including students, parents, and teachers, will always be considered.
Positive Behavioural Support (PBS) is a new applied science by applying the education and system procedures to build behaviour repertoire and arrange people environment in order to encourage quality of life, and reduce the challenging behaviour. PBS was originally created within the area of developmental disabilities and based on three major sources: Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), normalization, and person-centred values (Carr et al., 2002).
Law Insider. 2024) Following on from the previous question, it is important to promote appropriate behavior and respect for others because as teachers we want to create safe and inclusive spaces where people can learn to the best of their ability. Kefallinou Symeonidou and Meijer stated that ‘a personalized approach is particularly important for dealing with behavior, social, and/or emotional problems that form great challenges in inclusive education’. (Kefallinou, A & Symeonidou, S, & Meijer W, 2020) I involve my groups in the setting of ground rules from the beginning of a session.
Reflection on own role in promoting positive behaviour in children or young people As an early year provisions I should ensure children are learning and developing in a safe and secure environment. Environment doesn’t just mean the space it also mean adults, children and activities they are doing need to be safe. The setting needs to be positive and safe for all staff and children. The environment needs to encourage children to want to play and learn.
... behavior. However, both the fifth and tenth year teacher dealt with their behavior problems distinctively than the other teachers. The fifth year teacher said that he establish behavior ground rules at the first of the year. Tenth-year teacher says that she impart the student the power to take responsible of how his or her behavior should be dealt with. In dealing with behavior I will pursue the advice of the fifth year teacher which is to set up behavior ground rules at the beginning of the year with the consequences when broken. However, I did not agree with the tenth-year teacher stating that she gives the student the control to be responsible for his or her own behavior due to the fact that the student parents may not have raised their son or daughter up morally which could lead to the student not following through on completing his or her assignment.
Furthermore, students should be frequently rewarded and/or praised by faculty and staff for following the school rules and exhibiting appropriate behaviors. A good way to reward students is by using “ClassDojo”. ClassDojo is a fun communication application used in the classroom to recognize behaviors. I would suggest using this app school-wide.
The reward system is a beneficial behavioral modification teaching method, which promotes more positive behaviors in the classroom (Charles & Barr, 2014). Many teachers generally use the reward method of praise within their classrooms for a variety of reasons. The first advantage of using praise within the classroom is because it encourages students do repeat positive behaviors in the classroom. Many children are simply looking for attention and enjoy it, which makes it a great technique to use in the classroom (Charles & Barr, 2014). Another advantage for this reward type is that due to the encouragement, the students are able to perform at a better rate; students excel academically. A final advantage to using praise is that it is easily implemented into the classroom and requires little to no preparation. This makes the reward method a great addition for teachers as well as students because students get instant feedback without
The utilization of positive reinforcement is a possible technique for enhancing students’ behavior for a variety of school conditions for individual and as well as for the group of students (Wheatley, et al., 2009).
other students. A student should not be allowed to pressure or other kids in or on public school
I have therefore introduced the use of a reward chart within the group. As this is a programme whereby the use of praise, positive reinforcement and charts and incentives have been taught and implemented for the children in their care, I devised a chart for the final 6 sessions that I have engaged the learners in producing as a group. Paton and Education, 2008, reflected upon research completed by Ofsted highlighting "Rewards, such as opportunities to go on trips or to gain awards, were a powerful incentive for students who struggled with school. Rewards motivated the students to apply themselves more and to achieve better grades at GCSE level. In the process, the students also gained the satisfaction of making a valuable contribution to the community.
As stated earlier, I believe Classroom Management is the key to how learning can take place and students can feel safe participating. I hope to create an environment that is conducive to learning and involves all my students. I believe the most important part of classroom management is not the behavior problems but creating a good rapport with the students, encouraging them to succeed and setting high expectations for them. As well as using an engaging a curriculum, I believe you can create this environment and it will limit the behavior problems in your classroom from the
