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.
