Behaviour Concern Forms and Reflection Time Slips
Teach_wiseTeach_wise

Behaviour Concern Forms and Reflection Time Slips

(1)
Five essential resources for improving your own and your school’s behaviour management: 1) Behaviour Rota - Make sure it is clear which member of SLT is on duty for reflection time. This will reduce the anxiety of teachers and pupils as they will know exactly what room to go to and who will be working with them. 2) Behaviour Tracker - For SLT to log behaviour concerns of children who have been in missed play 3x. Keep track of those children who are regularly attending so that you can put in place a behaviour strategy form and involve the parents. 3) Reflection Time Slips - For teachers to give their children to take to reflection time. This will allow the SLT member to clearly identify what happened - think about how many children have ever said to you, “I’m not sure what I’ve done.” This will certainly prevent this happening! 4) Reflection Time Response - Remember: children aren’t sent to reflection time to be told off but to discuss and reflect on their actions when they are calm and ready to explain. There is usually a reason children will act out, so this is the time where they can express their own needs and reflect on what went wrong. 5) ABC chart - Keep track of children who display behaviour issues, can you spot any recurring triggers? You will often find there is a specific time or lesson that triggers specific responses. You may also find my Wave 1 strategy sheet for SEND pupils beneficial: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/wave-1-strategy-sheet-tracker-for-send-pupils-with-plan-do-review-supporting-sheet-13012052 You can find more free and inexpensive resources at my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/Teach_wise If you enjoyed this pack, make sure you leave a review!
