1.2 Explain The Role Of The Teacher In Promoting Children's Behaviour

The main policies relating to behaviour will be the behaviour policies but other policies will also have an impact for example the health and safety policies, child protection policies and anti-bullying policies. All adults in school are expected to act as good role models and to behave in a consistent manner. We make sure that good behaviour is recognised and praised as well as praising children for good work, effort and achievement.

A consistent approach to behaviour helps pupils learn right from wrong and to appreciate that rules exist for the good of everyone.

All rules are displayed in every classroom, children are addressed in assembly everyday and rewarded for good work at the end of the week with pupil of the week, house points, any certificates gained and rewards for good behaviour.

To be an effective role model you will need to lay a good foundation to achieve positive classroom behaviour, which will require some time to think about the certain strategies you wish to use.

My role as a nursery teacher at Zeeba Daycare can have a very big impact on the development of children in my classroom. It is well known that children often observe what others do and many times will imitate actions they have observed, so it is very important that I set a good example and be a good role model as I could set a good foundation for the development of a child’s behaviour and morals. It is important to teach children that all people are important and valuable, no matter what their gender, race, ability or background is and that it is important to respect and support others that are different to us. Therefore I can affect their development in many good ways by

2.2 The teacher would need to promote appropriate behaviour and respect for others in the ground rules. Although this is not always adhered to by learners the teacher would make clear to the individual that inappropriate behaviour would not be tolerated and ask them to remain quiet or leave the session depending on the severity of the behaviour. Distractions from learners has the potential to distract others, therefore wasting time and potentially leading to the early commencement of the session.

The behaviour policy outlines the school's aims of how to create “a positive community atmosphere in which children can learn effectively by promoting good standards of behaviour”. The school aims to recognise and respond to good behaviour in children, promoting a positive classroom environment where the focus is on praise of children's good behaviour and work. It outlines rewards and sanctions, and sets out a code of conduct that all children, staff, parents and governors should be aware of.

The schools policy for behaviour will give information on how you should manage more difficult behaviour as a teacher or TA. It is also important that pupils understand the behaviour policy of the school so that they have a clear idea of how bad behaviour will be dealt with if they choose to go against school rule or behave in an inappropriate manner.

Produce information about promoting positive behaviour for parents, children and young people within the school setting, the information must show that you can:

We must report any inappropriate behaviour to the class teacher and take action where appropriate. We must be fair and consistent when applying the school procedures to ensure that the pupils are treated equally. If pupils who behave badly are treated differently, or in their eyes unfairly, they will become confused of their boundaries and unsure of what is expected of them. Treating misbehaving children differently will have a negative impact on future behaviour.

Encourage correct manners to be used by ‘treating others in a way that you expect to be treated’. Always allow the children to hear “please” and “thank you” being used which will show continued respect between all children and other adults.

In any environment there needs to be clear boundaries and rules, and these need to be made easy to understand and achieve for children of all ages and abilities. A consistent approach to dealing with conflicts regarding rules helps to avoid any misunderstanding for the child. As already mentioned, a child seeking attention will gain this in the way easiest to him or her, and if attention is usually only given following negative behavior, then this how the child is likely to behave. Positive encouragement and praise should be given as often and as emphasized as negative comments as this will help the child acknowledge that good behaviour is just as, if not more so rewarded than undesirable behaviour.

As a practitioner, it is important you deal with unwanted behaviour in a calm manner. This is because children and young people will copy what they see as their behaviour is affected by others around them. For example, if the practitioner shouts at the child saying play nicely or say go to the carpet for time out then the child will copy this behaviour and tell other children off. If adults show conflict then children and young people will get frightened and confused. This can also lead for the child to have unwanted behaviour. For example, if the parents be aggressive when dealing with conflict then the child is going to feel scared and confused on what is going on. It is important that practitioners and parents reassure the child and allow

Staff will be advised of any children who may need extra support or vigilance. †̃We know for many children we need to †̃teachâ€TM safe play and how to treat othersâ€TM.

Chater (2007) discusses what he believes to be the initial important factors of sustaining effective behaviour management in the classroom, he talks about the ‘classroom environment, the expectations of the teacher, the daily routines and, crucially, the process leading up to the formulation of
