A Powerpoint that can be used to support development of whole school practice in the use of of student Self-Assessment and Peer-Assessment.

A resource that questions the functionality of the attendance protocols you have in place in your schools and therefore aids reflection upon all aspects of attendance monitoring.

Two Surveys attached that can be adapted and used by any provision: a. A General purpose survey that asks parents questions about the quality of education their child is receiving. b. A Survey that specifically asks questions about the quality of communication between the School and its Parents/Carers ( I designed this one for use in my PRU where a weekly snapshot report was sent home to parents)

When students are in isolation or have been excluded they need time to reflect upon their actions/behaviour. When a student returns from FTE they should have time after the Return from Exclusion Meeting, to discuss their behaviour with a key adult - this form provides the student with a number of questions to help their reflection. If a student is sent to isolation, there could be an expectation that they complete this reflection form before returning to mainstream lessons - its a resource that can be used in many ways.

I wrote this paper to present to my staff, after focusing on its content during a series of staff training sessions. The paper outlines some key points that focus on developing high quality teaching that promotes high levels of learning for students of all abilities. The resource focuses on: Key Principles to consider for developing High Quality Learning and Achievement An introduction to the PAR Model - Present/Apply/Review Discussion points on Effective Feedback Developing a Blame Free Environment for Learning Developing Peer and Self-Assessment The staff training that aligned to this paper was delivered over the course of two terms and was a key objective on our School Development Plan.

A resource that will stimulate thinking on how to reduce FTE in your provision as well as providing a proven list of interventions and ideas that have worked in a PRU

Using positive language is a feature of good classroom/behaviour management. This resource identifies both unhelpful phrases and statements and then a preferred way that uses positive language, that may initiate a better response from the student.

This resource guides staff into using appropriate questioning to help re-focus student attention - this was used as part of staff training to help my teams take more responsibility in the classroom for low level disruption, instead of referring the behaviour on to pastoral staff - this resource links to ‘Using the Levels of Behaviour’ and ‘Classroom Procedures’.

This reflection tool can be used in Behaviour Management training sessions as a starter or indeed as a discussion tool to help generate appropriate discussion of ‘Managing Behaviour’ in the classroom.

Key Concepts that underline this resource include tips on… Transition between Learning Activities - this can be problematic and often poor transition can result in a loss of teaching and learning time. ‘Lesson Sequencing - this is the process of organizing several lesson plans that will be taught consecutively. The purpose of lesson sequencing is to create smooth transitions between lessons in order to meet the objectives of the unit plans and to achieve optimal learning outcomes.

Are you looking to give guidance on how behaviour incidents should be managed in the classroom and how this aligns to whole school procedures? In this resource that can easily be adapted to suit your school, the template and procedures identified are those I introduced as a Head that guided staff into making appropriate decisions on poor behaviour they may come across. It links to using the Levels of Behaviour that I have also added to this package. The procedures also ensure that your team feel well supported.

When a FTE is being considered the Head requires all available evidence in order to make an appropriate decision. This Template identifies all key areas of evidence required and helps collation of paper work before a decision is made. I designed this template to support my decision making as a Head of Alternative Provision; the form would be accompanied by all appropriate written statements from staff and, or students.

The procedures identified on this flow chart were the ones I put in place in my school to track student absence. The effective monitoring of such protocols will depend on the effectiveness of your tutor team, alongside good communication with the Attendance Manager. Such tracking is vital due to increased levels of absence because of Covid 19 and the increased vulnerability of young people, especially those in Special Education.

Pastoral Leaders use Part time provision for exceptional circumstances often where there is a complete breakdown in school discipline or where the reduced provision will benefit the health and wellbeing of the student. Such provision needs tracking and auditing; this resource provides you with a visual week by week tracker that identifies student targets and incentives during the reduced provision, that can be used as ongoing evidence for the review process at the end of the agreed time. This exemplar tracker is set up for a 4 week Programme but it can be adapted to suit student needs - the document can be referred to when staff need to discuss behaviour and the targets with the student. I also include a recording sheet with this resource.

I am presently working with a student who regularly struggles to engage, therefore any evidence of his learning is important. I have compiled an evidence folder to help collate his work, but in addition I have designed this log to record any learning he may achieve and if possible to support the recording of his thoughts and opinions regarding his work; the evidence log may indeed be completed by his key worker. A useful resource to record evidence of work especially for those students who are struggling to engage at all.

This resource includes a model 'Anti-bullying Policy, in addition to an in-depth evidence form for recording bullying incidents. In addition, I have added a couple of initiatives that were introduced in my Centre…A bullying levels programme that can be incorporated into any Behaviour Policy/Anti-bullying Policy and an appropriate letter that can form as a template to shape any bullying letters that need to be sent home to parents. In addition to these excellent resources I have also included a Bullying Contract that can be used with students who are habitual bullies in your provision. All have been proven working documents in a PRU.

Do you have Peer mentors or Peer Mediators in your school…If not, then why not? Peer Mentors can offer another layer of support for your Pastoral System in any educational setting; You will find that if the Mentors/Mediators become embedded as part of your Pastoral System, then other students will generally respond very well to them. If students are trained correctly and they are given the responsibility and trust to work with younger students they can become an invaluable team in your school. This support pack offers guidance and advice for your Mentors/Mediators as they move forward in their role; it gives advice on how to run a meeting, it identifies key questions to ask and key words to use alongside tips on problem solving. I wrote this resource once I had trained up the Mentors in my Centre and they commented it gave them useful support in their role.

Are you training your new staff in the basics of Behaviour Management or are you reinforcing appropriate expectations for Managing Behaviour in a whole staff training session? Are you reflecting upon your own Behaviour Management and feel your responses to students could be improved upon or are you a new teacher looking for tips and advice regarding using appropriate language in the classroom? If so, this resource is perfect for you. This excellent training/reflective document identifies an extensive list of possible ways students could disrupt learning in the classroom, alongside some less than helpful responses by the teacher…the document then identifies a more appropriate response that helps the teacher to manage the situation more successfully. The resource identifies more than 20 different scenario’s alongside an opportunity to have ago at some answers for yourself.

Do you have an induction process for a new student? If so, this resource will help your colleagues get to know them a little better, especially useful in AP where new students may be a little nervous about sharing information; this mini booklet asks some gentle questions to help the colleague inducting the student to collate useful information and encourage discussion.

Are you an aspiring Head of Department or looking to move into Middle Leadership, if so please read on…this resource is an actual letter for a theoretical role. Based on the success of my Exemplar Deputy Head/Head letter, I have written a letter for aspiring MIddle Leaders. The one side of A4 letter provides an exemplar letter for such a role; it provides all the buzz words and sentences from which you can develop your own narrative and it provides a structure to your letter that will make it stand out from the crowd.
