Classroom Management

Primary Classroom Management:

"Challenging Children "-http://www.teachers.tv/video/120 examines how Herbert Morrison Primary School in Vauxhall, south London, continually adapts and refines its system of assertive discipline in line with the particular demands of individual classes.
The policy is rigorous in that pupils clearly understand the rewards and sanctions that will result from their behaviour, whether it be "smiley" faces which can lead to a certificate or "sad" faces which can add up to a visit to the headteacher.
Key points:
  • A behaviour management philosophy must permeate all aspects of school life
  • Implement the policy consistently and rigorously
  • The pupils must clearly understand the rewards and consequences of their behaviour
