Double sided printable discussion cards. Ideal to encourage pupils to explore language, questions, use their imagination, practice different vocabulary, structuring sentences as well as provide a good giggle. Lovely as a warm up activity to wake up tired brains or as a speaking and listening task. One card could be used a whole class stimulus and discussion or the pack spread amongst small groups to encourage meaningful dialogue amongst peers. Pupils could also write their responses too.

Behaviour Management Tips

Behaviour Management Tips

(0)
A presentation covering a range of Behaviour management tips, strategies and methods. I used this on a staff training day for a group of TA’s. This resource can be changed and adapted for any groups/members of staff; teachers, lunch time supervisors, NQTS etc. Tips are basic but clear, examples of a few tips used in a classroom context are displayed on some slides. When presenting the PPT, I used the tips to form discussion points as well as promote questioning amongst staff. A session that encouraged sharing of methods, reflection on pupil behaviour, previous experience as well as celebrating moments of success too.
