1.2As part of the school policies every child in the school has a right to feel safe.so to fulfil this they are kept in a school which is protected and has high security. Also the parents if they have any worries about their kids safety or any misconceptions they have the access and permission to come in the school and have an appointment with the head teacher to discuss their issues. Parents are expected to encourage their children to have good behaviour at the school.to show they have made contributions to the school they do have head teachers award’ or worker of the week’ which do show and reflect both the head teachers and child’s contribution. The children should develop their social and emotional skills at school for their future this can be done by motivating them and encouraging them to work harder and likewise praising them when good is done. They also can do more group work so they know how to work with different people and treat others nicely. Furthermore the children to need to know and recognize limits and boundaries when they do certain things and should acknowledge that there are consequences for doing something wrong.1.3The staff all should have the same rules that they follow so they treat every child in the school fairly and equally. Also all the staff in the school must be aware of the school policies so in a situation it is dealt with care and fairness. If these are done the child doesn’t feel like he’s being treated differently or discriminated for his colour, gender, cultural belief etc. But if in the child’s class two children are in the same trouble and one gets treated differently than the other child that gets in more trouble will feel low and upset which sometimes can cause anxiety issues which can affect their further life. Also when they get treated equally the children are more focused which will make progress in their education.2.1Also you should not be aggressive towards them or have a horrible attitude towards them as this will not make them listen to you. you should say please’ and thank you’ to show them the respect you have for them so it encourages them to be polite too to others .Sometimes if the child always likes doing bad and we choose to ignore it(only when its minor!)And just focus on rewarding the good students then they will understand that they will get attention when they do well so this motivates them to drop the negative behaviour and start doing well.2.2There can be a poster which underlines the appropriate behaviour in the class and which type of behaviour is not allowed this will then make it clear what the ground rules are and what is expected from them. One of the rules can be about how to treat others this will show them to respect one another and not doing so is wrong and has consequences. Also when they are good you award them understand and recognise what the wrong is in what they did and also will scare them not to do it again.2.3When they’ve done something good then can use a stuffed dummy on your desk to show the students that they’ve done something good this encourages them and they also get happy as they acknowledge that they’ve done something good. Another awesome way is using a jar of pompoms to reward acts of kindness and good in the classroom. Each child in the class get their own bucket made out of a cup with a pipe cleaner attached as a handle. Whenever a student does something good, he or she is rewarded with a fuzzy pom-pom. When a child’s bucket is filled up to the top the class applauds and praises the student there after he/she gets to dump it into the class bucket .When the class bucket is full the whole class gets a reward. This is a very different strategy as when this happens the students among themselves can promote each other to do good as they know together they all need to contribute to get the end prize.2.4To promote consistent good behaviour in the classroom you can set of golden rules and enforce these all day every day. Make sure the rules are positive not negative and describe the behaviour you would like to see rather than the behaviour you wouldn’t. Make sure all practitioners are aware of the behaviour management policy held by the setting. Share expectations with parents so everyone is working towards achieving the same goals for the child. Remember children are not always able to tell the difference between when something is acceptable and when it isn’t. To avoid the child being in trouble unnecessarily follow the same consistent rules at all times. Ensure everyone is dealing with incidents of unwanted behaviour in the same way following the policies set by the setting. If behaviour is being dealt with in a certain way make sure everyone is aware of this and are also using the same technique of giving consequences to all the children.2.5To be an effective role model you would have to promote good behaviour skills so to apply this you would have to regularly check the behaviour policies, as this explains properly what behaviour is needed and how to promote good behaviour and also how to tackle all different behaviour scenarios. Also having consistent teaching promotes good behaviour in the class this will give a good impact on the students. Another method is that the teacher should have a wide range of different awards as this will be effective because the children will be more persuaded to be good and show positive behaviour. Due to this the child might even show positive behaviour out school grounds. Moreover you should have good interactive skills as this will create a good relationship with the students and also makes the students to have more confidence.3.1You should set ground rules as soon as possible and also abide by them at all times in order for the child to know where they stand.do not make empty threats as this supports and encourages inappropriate behaviour. You should also have regular talks to the student in order for them to stay on tracks and also acknowledge what consequences are to certain actions. Sometimes it is good to remind them of the awards they can get if they stay good.3.2If a student was to show inappropriate behaviour then you should not give empty threats you should always fulfil any consequences you say to the students this will help the students as a warning that when a bad action is done there is severe consequences and they will not just get away with it .Also when a child does misbehave then you should not go and get another teacher to sort them out first try yourself to sort it out as if you don’t then you might lose your students trust and respect. Apply rules and boundaries consistently and fairly according to the situation.3.3Children need boundaries in order to learn appropriate behaviour. They need the boundaries to be applied consistently and fairly because if it isn’t then the children will do whatever they want. Inconsistent and unfair consequences will confuse them and may lead to behavioural issues. Sometimes if the issue is sorted out unfairly between children then they can start having disputes between each other.3.4You can provide a journal of you past incidents on how you dealt with the children when they showed inappropriate behaviour this is a very effective method on how to help out other colleagues. You can also do this by helping out a teacher in the playground when an incident occurs and helping her/him to control the scene. Another way is also when another member of staff needs another staff to have a one to one with the naughty child so they understand from another perspective what wrong action they’ve done this generally helps more as they don’t feel they’re getting picked on by their form tutor.3.5There are times when as a teaching assistant you will find it hard to difficult to handle certain situations in such cases it is sometimes better to refer such situations to another member of staff or the child’s parents as they might be more experienced in handling the situation. An example is when the child is a danger to themselves then it might be best to make a more senior staff to deal with the issue. If you think the child is acting differently or acting odd then you might want to report this to a safeguarding officer as they might be getting abused at home or having any other rough issues also when you first notice the odd behaviour then should be reported straight away keeping the child’s safety in consideration. If you think the student is being harmful or dangerous to other children you should tell the form tutor or the parents.4.1Sometimes you should make patterns like some children may act differently and have behavioural issues in certain environments. You can do this by spending time with the child in different areas to see where it triggers them if its example bullying in the playground or canteen etc. After this when you think defiantly you have worked a pattern or connection somewhere then you can inform the class form tutor and then it can be resolved in the proper manner. This is an effective method as because you know what triggers them off then you can attempt to avoid it the next time it can occur. If children are not making any progress in their assessments then a report should be made and a progress check so it can be discussed with the parents of the child in order for the child to understand the severity of the situations.4.2 If you are doing a little small investigation on the child regarding their behavioural issues then the child’s name should be kept anonymous in all your evidence and the child’s matters should not be discussed with anyone out of school only can be shared with a professional member of staff in the school. Also when you deal with an issue you should read the school regulations and then proceed you should also not be aggressive at the child no matter the circumstances. Furthermore the school has a no touch policy which should be abided by in all situations.4.3Teaching assistants should be working along the teacher of the class to provide additional help according to the plan. When dealing and accessing behaviour you should consider the other children’s safety in the class. The schools safety and health policies and procedures should always be followed. Young children are not usually aware of difficult or dangerous situations so when you are dealing with them it is important for you to explain the consequences as well. Also before anything does happen you should plan measures of the other children’s safety when something does occur. Just in case something does happen then a school nurse or health officer should always be available.4.4It is important to respond appropriately when dealing with inappropriate behaviours according to the school policies and procedures. The more you observe a child the more you get to know about the child and what triggers them. This knowledge will help you when the inappropriate behaviour occurs. Written records should be kept for future use. You should find the opportunity to talk to the teacher about your observations and say what you felt led the child to behave in such a way. You should put input in the solutions to what could be done to support the child and prevent this and encourage them to identify what they feel triggers the behaviour they displayed. They need you to encourage them so they understand what impact it plays on the others. Another way of helping the child out is you can set the child behaviour related targets which can be recorded regularly and later the progress can be checked. Similarly, if you have seen in the past what incidents have happened and what the outcome was of the child’s behaviour then you should prevent such situations to occur again.4.5Any children that have regular behavioural issues have regular reports on their progress and behaviour and attendance which gets discussed with the parents. By monitoring and keeping track of the child’s behaviour is really effective as they can evaluate and help the teachers and supports them to notice any bullying, harassment or inappropriate behaviour in the classroom. Acting immediately is very significant as this can affect the wellbeing of young children. So if you do acknowledge the bullying of a student it is unlawful to keep that information to yourself it is important to deal with the situation yourself if you are capable or hand the situation over to another senior member of staff. You can call in the parents of the child that is in the wrong and present the appropriate punishment to them to compensate for the action they’ve done/what harm they’ve caused to other fellow classmates.5.1The child could have a one to one feedback session with a teacher that knows him/her well so the child feels comfortable. Then the teacher should discuss and ask the child to make a list of all the good and bad acts they did that day, this is a very easy and constructive method for a child to understand that when good is done then the outcomes are much better and their academic progress is a lot better. Also they can recognise and acknowledge that some actions they did were bad and what the consequences are to them and also you should explain to them what impact it causes to others. Example maybe the child was being disruptive in lesson this makes the other children’s attention span to decrease therefore leading to decrease their academic progress and achieving lower than what they are capable of.5.2Children need to be aware of all the policies sand procedures of the school so they abide by them in order for them to academically progress.to gain this behaviour strategies are put into place. Also for the children to be obedient they also want their voice to be heard and taken into consideration so this means we have to support their ideas and listen to them and accepting their ideas also giving back the respect they give us. Also it is good to mention the behaviour rules and consequences regularly just to keep them reminded and focused on track.Giving students behaviour targets and depending on their behaviour will be given a set of targets which will be reviewed on a daily basis. Which means they be put on daily report every day where the child has to get the report signed by every lesson teacher and the teacher leaves a comment whether the child has met their target or not ,depending on this they will have a certain amount of days to stay on the report till their behaviour improves.5.3Also when the child has done well sometimes it’s good for them to hear your praises. Sometimes you can praise them to another teacher or send them a postcard home explaining their good act and also you can give them a good phone call home to inform the parents that their child is improving etch this promotes good behaviour as the child feels like he is being appreciated. But if a person is bullying someone else I would immediately take the child out of the class and take them to a senior member to resolve the issues and also bring the person being bullied and make him justify himself and apologize to the child that’s getting oppressed. However if it is the case that the bullying is severe then the child’s parents will have to be called in and further consequences will be taken. If there is a problem regarding their attendance then I would make a phone call home and see why the attendance is poor and sort the issues out.5.4The education and inspections act made clear rules with schools about dealing with behaviour and discipline of the children. This includes promoting good behaviour with the reward schemes alongside any negative behaviour and the sanctions. Having a good relationship between the teacher and the students keeps a good flow when doing group work as the work is easily understood. Also reporting and giving back feedback to other teachers and colleagues is promoting good behaviour. Giving small reward when a minor act of good is done is very effective as the child feels good about themselves as this makes them more motivated to learn
