Behaviour on one sheet of A4
Schools and colleges that ripple with consistency have simple agreements in place not flashy 'behaviour systems. Lengthy behaviour policies that cover every eventuality are well intended but do not translate into effective practice. Too much is left to individual interpretation. Too little refers to daily practice.
New Behaviour Standards for Teachers
I was asked a few weeks ago to contribute to the Behaviour Standards for Teachers as part of the new Standards for Teachers published by the DfE (full document here )
True Inclusion
The most productive part of short-term exclusion is the reintegration meeting with the parents/guardian. It is this meeting that the most encouraging undertakings are made. Reparation is made and clean sheets are created. In many homes, the exclusion part simply builds up resentment and gives the child 3 days of daytime TV. Take the exclusion away and replace the time spent at home with 'Community Payback': not litter picking and purely punitive tasks, but additional responsibilities executed in the child's own time. By attaching strong mentors to the payback scheme you can find the time to build relationships that change behaviour for the long term. Pair the community payback with a formal 'exclusion style' meeting and you get the consequences that are deserved with the meeting that matters and a chance for the child to learn a different way of behaving.
