1. Behaviour For Learning There are a number of reasons why our young people do not learn

2. Relationships One thing we rarely discuss is the value and importance of human connection

3. James Comer “No significant learning can take place without a significant relationship”

4. Some may believe…….. “I do not get paid to like the kids, I get paid to teach a lesson and for them to learn, its simple I should teach and they should learn!!”

5. FACT In reality people do not learn from people they do not like.

6. At Passmores When talking to students about various issues in lessons the most common phrase I hear is…… “What is the point the teacher does not even like me”

8. What Type of teacher are you? Aggressive Uses sanctions Tendency to shout Escalates Passes issues on Focus on the sinner Plays the blame game

12. . Keeping calm, remaining assertive and managing the situation is crucial.

13. Preventative Procedures Moment of Disruption Follow up Win Win Discipline

14. ABCDABCD Four Types of Disruption

15. Aggression Aggression will occur! It is not always motivated by anger! Seeking attention Wishing to distract attention away from failure at a learning task Trying to control another student or the teacher To burn off excess energy Boredom Using home or street behaviours at school

16. Breaking Rules Will occur but do we repeatedly refer to the rules & appreciate the students for their rule compliance?

17. Confrontation Refusal to do as requested. Can be a form of aggression. Generally a power play trying to assert control – I am in charge of me! Leads to inappropriate behaviour! Feeling mistreated To gain attention Resentment towards authority Avoiding embarrassment – poor test result

18. Disengagement Can happen when: The learning task is too difficult or easy Work is meaningless, lacks relevance Work is boring, repetitive & dull Long wait times – handing out books/papers one at a time!

19. Please note: Rule 1: Three before B! Rule 2: Aggression towards the teacher = Confrontation

20. IDENTIFY ABCD Banging on desk = Aggression Cheating = Breaking Rules Doodling = Disengagement Eating in class = Breaking Rules Making fun of others = Aggression Lying to the teacher = Confrontation Ignoring directions = Confrontation Late/missing homework = Breaking Rules

21. IDENTIFY ABCD Insolent facial expressions = Confrontation Not doing the work = Disengagement Stealing = Aggression Singing out = Breaking Rules Swearing at the teacher = Confrontation Skipping class = Disengagement Sleeping = Disengagement Displaying weapons = Aggression

22. Seven Positions Attention seeking- these students need to feel cared for Avoiding failure- need to feel successful Angry- need to express displeasure (Reece Cooper) Control Seeking- need to feel like they influence people and events Energetic- need to move and touch and be expressive Bored- need to be motivated and interesting in learning Uninformed- need to know how to act and interact responsibily

23. Scenarios Case Study 1 Katrina Will Not Work Case Study 2 Sara Cannot Stop Talking- Case Study 3 Joshua Clowns and Intimidates- Case Study 4 Tom is Hostile and Defiant

24. Food for Thought 90% of behaviour management happens outside the classroom. When students get to Year 9 they are far too chatty, use it to your advantage.
