School Matters - Challenging Behaviour

The Teachers TV programme resents 5 case studies showing different approaches to improving behaviour: • A sports project that involves a group of Yr 10 pupils learning to row; • Ninestyles School Behaviour policy: a whole-school system of consequences which starts with a verbal warning and culminates in the isolation room; • Restorative justice, where students are encouraged to accept responsibility for their behaviour; • An infant nurture group which tries to intervene early to prevent difficulties developing; • Getting the curriculum right by introducing more personalised learning. As well as footage of the interventions in action, personnel involved talk about the benefits. Geoff Moss, an Educational Psychologist and former teacher provides some commentary between the case studies.
