Conclusion:
Managing behaviour integral to TCCG ethos:
Managing Student Behaviour - Department of Education
The best way to create a positive learning ethos is achieved by creating an atmosphere where students are actively engaged in the curriculum and are provided with interesting ways to learn; where they feel cared for and develop a sense of belonging. Students are more likely to behave well if they are in an environment where they feel respected and capable. If staff are able to create such an ethos then many potential behaviour problems will be prevented. The crux of successful behaviour management is acting to meet students’ needs rather than simply reacting when they misbehave.
Effective teachers understand that behaviour is learned, and so with those students who regularly misbehave they see their job as helping those students learn more productive and responsible behaviour. They understand that behaviour is influenced by the situation in which it occurs, and so they act to change the student’s behaviour by altering some aspects of the classroom situation. They know that misbehaviour serves a purpose for each student, and so they take action to enable students to find ways of belonging in more socially acceptable ways.
Teachers have control over many variables within the classroom that influence how students behave – and should direct their efforts to the factors that produce effective behaviour for learning.
