Behaviour Management

7 Manage behaviour effectively to ensure a good and safe learning environment Have clear rules and routines for behaviour in classrooms, and take responsibility for promoting good and courteous behaviour both in classrooms and around the school, in accordance with the school’s behaviour policy. Have high expectations of behaviour, and establish a framework for discipline with a range of strategies, using praise, sanctions and rewards consistently and fairly. Manage classes effectively, using approaches which are appropriate to students’ needs in order to involve and motivate them. Maintain good relationships with students, exercise appropriate authority, and act decisively when necessary.
