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 contains extensive statements that can be used and developed as part of an effective plenary to review learning that has taken place - it also contains the ‘Plenary Place Mat’ that can be kept by students so that they can regularly reflect upon learning that has taken place in the lesson - in my provision the Plenary Place Mat was stuck to the student desk.

How do we develop/enrich learning in our establishments to enhance student outcomes? I delivered this powerpoint as part of a refresher for my staff, to help enrich and develop wider thought on how they can deliver effective lessons that enhance the learning experience for students. This powerpoint is stand alone and can be delivered as part of whole school staff training - no further resources are required.

Having introduced a Coaching Programme for teachers and support staff in my schools, I have seen the benefit of such a system at first hand. This resource identifies a method for introducing a Coaching Programme for support staff in your schools; the same resource can be adapted for introducing the same programme for your teachers, but it would require some careful additions regarding a focus on teaching and learning and, or other key foci for your team.

If you are new to Alternative Provision or Special Education, this ‘hands on’ guidance will identify all you will need to know for establishing your daily routines and expectations. This resource can be adapted by SLT to be used as part of any induction programme for both teachers and support staff.

Having introduced a Coaching Programme for my team of teachers and support staff, I was able to witness at first hand the benefits of such a system. This resource includes both the teacher reflection sheet and observers recording sheet that can be used by staff involved in the Coaching Programme. The sheets can be adapted for use by teachers or indeed support staff.

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’.

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.

20 Top Tips for helping to deliver effective lessons that engage your students - this resource was collated to help teachers during internal lesson observations and to prepare for Ofsted.

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.

This is an extensive list of statements that were developed to support staff and students (Student Voice) in formulating a new whole school Code of Conduct. After the brainstorm of statements comes well written examples that may be an ideal fit for your schools. The statements are split into sections that include: Classroom Code of Conduct Corridor Behaviour Developing Positive Relationships Conduct during Break and Lunch Time Conduct in the Community

Using this resource will prove an excellent way to reinforce Behaviour Management expectations for staff. It aligned to our 'Behaviour Slip System of blue and red slips for poor behaviour and reminded staff of when follow up was required, or indeed if they needed to deal with the named ‘behaviour incident’. It stopped staff writing lots of behaviour sips and always passing on issues to pastoral staff or sending students out; it helps to make staff more accountable for what goes on in their classrooms. It can be adapted to suit your own BM protocols. There are two models added, with the coloured version an update on the first. It really does work with teachers, as well as proving a useful resource for staff training.

The 5-6 week Problem Solving Module can be added to any Life Skills or PSHE programme and is ready to go, with a lesson by lesson format that identifies all of the teaching activities to be undertaken and the resources required. The aims for the Module are as follows: Students will be able to identify a problem within different situations and consider different ways of being able to solve the problem. Students may be able to Coach others into encouraging different ways of solving problems some students may have. Students will be asked to discuss some problems that may arise in the workplace or during a part time job and then come up with possible solution Students will have a knowledge of Benefits and Burdens Analysis The format is the same as all other modules I have added to my dashboard, that allows non-specialists to be able to pick up the work and deliver it without planning. The modules I have added, including this one, are ideal as cover work and for use by cover supervisors.

This weekly Snapshot/Report provides parents with key information on their child and how they have performed during the week. I designed this for use in Alternative Provision and it provides a quick view on Attendance/Punctuality, Behaviour and progress in Learning. It also allows for the teacher to provide targets for the following week. Parents in my Centre found the weekly snapshot a very useful tool for monitoring progress.

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.
