The school strives to develop a trusting and caring environment, based upon mutual respect and understanding where all people are treated fairly. The policy is based around aims that will enable children to develop reasoned self-discipline and socially acceptable behaviour, demonstrating good manners, respect and helpfulness towards each other and all adults. It aims to allow all at the school to reach a high level of self-esteem where children are happy, feel good and enjoy each other's company. Maintain high standards of tidiness and orderliness around the school, encourage children to take a pride in their school and the wider community. The policy includes guidance in two important areas: 1] Promoting appropriate behaviour in the children and young people in the setting 2] Discouraging inappropriate behaviour in the setting It outlines Specific procedures for staff to follow which help in achieving these aims such as: ● Being a positive role model.
Promote children and young people’s positive behaviour. Section 1 – Understand policies and procedures for promoting children and young people’s positive behaviour. 1.1 Summarise the policies and procedures of the setting relevant to promoting children and young people’s positive behaviour. Our school is proud of its high standards of behaviour. The school aims to develop self-discipline and a sense of social responsibility in all children.
TDA 2.9 1.1 Describe the policies and procedures of the setting relevant to promoting children and young people’s positive behaviour. Behaviour In my setting it is there priority to build the self esteem and confidence of all the children which is the aim of this policy. Teach the children to accept responsibility for their actions, consequences and its effects of their behaviour on others To encourage the children, to make good responsible choices, respect themselves, others, the environment of the school and the wider community. To understand what is appropriate and inappropriate behaviour and what to do if there is an issue. The school staff, volunteer, and pupils adhere to school policy, for the safeguarding of children and the benefit of the school to ensure a calm, purposeful happy environment for all which are: Children to follow the simple behaviour plan, (Be respectful to each other and the environment around me, be nice and treat each other fairly, Work hard and achieve to the best of their ability) Children and teachers Set agreed ground rules for each class with incentives and sanctions which can be clearly understood by all.
Communication and professional relationships with children, young people and adults Communication and professional relationships with children, young people and adults TDA 3.1 TDA 3.1 Name: Pin:_______________________ Name: Pin:_______________________ 1.1 Explain why effective communication is important in developing positive relationships with children, young people and adults. Effective communication is very important. The way we communicate with someone will determine and influence the way the relationship grows. We modify how we talk and how we respond depending on the individual. If we use effective communication to build up a positive relationship it is remembered by both parties.
All staff in school should know and use rules consistently and behaviour should be monitored closely by the schools senior management. Children and young people should be shown fair and consistent boundaries at all times they respond well when they know what is expected of them, if all members of staff use the same strategies when managing behaviour. If behaviour is not managed well this could waste lesson time and children’s learning could suffer. Children should know the sanction and rewards and the order in which it will be applied no matter who talks to them about their behaviour. If they are consistent and fair the children get to understand quickly what id acceptable and what’s not.
I would always use encouraging words, be approachable, understanding and show empathy in order to stimulate and encourage positive behaviour. I should set clear rules and boundaries in the classroom that will support and encourage positive behaviour from my first introduction to the pupils. My manner, body language, posture and communication must appear confident and authoritative as pupils are more likely to co-operate. Teaching strategies that I could use are: • Keeping a classroom clean and tidy, attractive, safe and well stocked with materials and resources will help to create a calming atmosphere for the pupils and also help them to respect their school environment • Displaying pupils work is an excellent way of encouraging them to take pride in their own work and abilities • Photographs of pupils, where permitted, working respectfully and displaying them in the classroom also promotes good behaviour • Encouraging and praising children with low self-esteem to lead teams or groups will help build positive behaviour, personality and character • Provide stickers and creative wall charts to show a pupils success and always verbally praise a pupils positive behaviour and contribution to the classroom to illustrate their success • Star of the Week: This strategy is adopted by many KS1 and KS2 schools; it should be used for different reasons each week to encourage less able pupils or pupils with more challenging
UNIT 304 Knowledge Understand policies and procedures for promoting children and young people’s positive behaviour. 1.1 The policies and procedures we use in our setting relevant to promoting positive behaviour are the ‘Good behaviour for learning policy’ and the ‘Dealing with bullying policy’. The Good behaviour for learning policy explains what, as a setting, we expect from our pupils, staff, parents, governors and even visitors. It sets out our code of conduct, it explains how, as a school, we develop a positive learning atmosphere, what classroom management strategies we use and about the rewards and sanctions too. It lays out what we expect from the parents and what we will give back to them.
My Philosophy of Student Discipline My philosophy of student discipline begins with the ideology that students learn what they live. Through the introduction and continuous exposure to a positive school environment, students will develop the social, emotional, and physical skills needed to become promising contributors to society. Within these skills, the term respect resonates as an underlying aspect of a positive atmosphere. Respect is related to student discipline by integration in quantitative and qualitative manners. The following paragraphs will give insight into respect within both fashions and show how they are complementary.
It can provide guidance to staff when dealing with inappropriate behaviour presented by a child/young person. It states how to encourage positive behaviour, the importance of being fair and consistent, I feel it is very important that all staff are consistent and apply the rules, rewards and consequences in the same way. Children’s behaviour must be managed effectively and in a manner appropriate for their stage of development and particular needs. Each school or setting should have a named person that deals with behaviour management. I feel it is important to remain professional and not label children as ‘Naughty’ instead we should be choosing to say words such as ‘un-acceptable or
TDA 3.4 Promote Children’s And Young People's Positive Behaviour. has a behaviour for learning policy in place that states “Learning is at the heart of this policy, and therefore the acknowledgement of appropriate behaviour, aspiration and achievement must be visible in every classroom/workspace”. I believe that high self-esteem can lead to good behaviour, co-operative attitudes, high achievement and better attendance. The school has 2 key aims in regards to promoting positive behaviour, which are: PRIDE: This encourages the children to take pride in themselves and their school. CELEBRATE: The main focus on this aim is to celebrate the children’s achievements and rewards them for their hard work and good behaviour.
