Behaviour management must be 'supportive'
Teachers TV News talks to a behaviour consultant ahead of the forthcoming publication of Sir Alan Steer's fourth and final report.
Sir Alan has been looking at behaviour in schools since 2005. The DCSF has already implemented many of his previous recommendations, including giving more power to schools to discipline pupils, and introducing lessons in social and emotional skills to all schools by 2011.
The final report is likely to recommend that partnerships between all secondary schools and Pupil Referral Units become a legal requirement, so that strong behaviour policies are maintained.
Although Sir Alan's attitude to discipline is something of a no-nonsense approach, he believes that understanding children's behaviour is the key, rather than dishing out punishment.
This approach is backed behaviour experts. Mike Temple, a former special needs teacher, has devised a method he calls 'supportive behaviour management'. He told Teachers TV News it's vital that a child's social context is taken into account when tackling their behaviour problems.

Thank you for your comment.
