A Kit Bag for Promoting Positive Behaviour in the Classroom by Nicola Morgan,Gill Ellis Pdf

Disruptive classroom behaviours can prevent effective teaching and create a negative learning environment. This handy directory of behaviours has been written by teachers for teachers, and is bursting with tried and tested techniques to make the classroom a happier and more productive place for everyone. The 'Kit Bag' is a bank of up-to-date ideas that can be dipped into whenever needed, each one intended to get children focused and more engaged and excited by the learning process. The book suggests ways to create a positive learning environment in the classroom and encourages teachers to be proactive at the most vulnerable times of the school day such as at the start and end of lessons. Strategies are included for addressing behaviour hotspots, such as calling out, frequent crying or aggressive behaviour, as well as how to uncover the source of these problems and practical ways to prevent them from reoccurring. The useful Self-Assessment Checklist will also aid in making sure teachers are constructively reinforcing positive behaviour at all times. This widely acclaimed approach will be a must for any teacher who has ever been confronted with challenging behaviour and wants to get the best out of their pupils. It will also be a valuable tool for headteachers and senior leaders who want to revolutionise current school practices.

Better Behaviour through Home-School Relations by Gill Ellis,Nicola S. Morgan,Ken Reid Pdf

How can we create effective partnerships between home, school and the community? How can the relationships and communication between families and school be strengthened? How can families help schools to improve behaviour in their children, both at home and at school? Using a tried and tested framework that has been successfully implemented throughout a wide variety of very different schools and settings, ‘Family Values’ is a Scheme which engages and empowers families to work in close collaboration with schools and organisations, and which results in long-term improvements in behaviour, communication, pupil achievement and relationships. The ‘Family Values’ Scheme has been proven to: Help pupils to be more academically diligent Help schools to assume a calmer, more peaceful ambience Forge better pupil-teacher relationships Improve Pupil and teacher wellbeing Help parents to be more engaged with the school Improve children’s literacy, behaviour and attendance Provide head teachers and their staff with an effective whole-school strategy. The authors’ award-winning ‘Family Values’ Scheme is underpinned by sound theoretical principles, and they show here how it has been successfully put into practice through case studies in real school settings. The book explores how the Scheme promotes social, emotional and family system theories, and, in linking effectively to SEAL (social and emotional aspects of learning), the Scheme compliments existing personal and social education programmes in all schools. Showing schools and organisations how to create effective partnerships with families and the community in a fun, exciting and sustainable way, Better Behaviour through Home-School Relations will be of huge benefit to all school staff, as well as local authorities, support groups, parents, charities and services.

EBOOK: Promoting Positive Behaviour in the Early Years by Karen Morris Pdf

Behaviour is high on the political agenda and a key concern for many education professionals. Whilst political debate, press coverage and professional concerns about ‘problem behaviour’ generally focus on older children, there is also concern about the number of children exhibiting challenging behaviour in the early years. Children’s experiences in the Early Years are crucial in determining their adaptability and coping strategies later on, in helping them develop resilience. Therefore it is paramount that practitioners can support children’s personal, social and emotional and behavioural development in the early years, and make a vital contribution to reducing behavioural difficulties (including ‘internalised’ difficulties such as depression as well as ‘externalised’ challenging behaviour). Those working in the early years often want advice on managing ‘challenging behaviour’, sometimes seeing such behaviour as being inexplicable, rather than regarding all children’s behaviour, including ‘challenging’ behaviour, as a response to their circumstances. When the behaviour is extreme, it may be because the child’s circumstances/experiences are extreme, and/or the child’s ability to make needs clear or interpret other people’s intentions is impaired. Both norms and extremes of behaviour can be understood using a framework that applies knowledge of how behaviour develops to consider a child’s needs and what might be appropriate expectations of that child.
