The SecEd Podcast: Classroom behaviour

In this episode we offer practical advice and tips for teaching staff to help you manage behaviour effectively in your classrooms.

Focusing on the secondary school classroom, our experts discuss why school culture is vital to promoting positive behaviour and what this looks like in practice.

We discuss where the line lies between overarching principles of whole-school behaviour and how that manifests itself in different classrooms and different subjects?

We offer concrete, tangible classroom strategies, ideas and tips for your "in the moment" behaviour toolkit. We consider the role and use of rewards and sanctions/consequences, clear expectations, as well as tips for how teachers can remain consistent and encourage students' intrinsic good behaviour.

We discuss the rule of "what we permit, we promote" and ask what that looks like in practice, we look too at how we can "teach" and model good behaviours.

We chat about how we can "rebuild" relationships after a behaviour incident and talk about working with parents.
