• Dealwithindividualpupilsprivatelynotpubliclyinfrontoftheclass

• Encourage themtoaccept responsibility for theirpoorchoicesandpoorbehaviour-byaskingandrepeating, ifnecessary,closedquestions.Forexample,“Wasthatacceptablebehaviour–yesorno?”

28

• Outline two choices that they canmakeand state thepossible consequences - “Younowhave two choices: You can choose tofollowtheinstructionorchoosenottofollowmyinstruction.Ifyouchoosetorefusetofollowtheinstruction,youarechoosingx.”

Don‟t……….

• Besarcastic

• Settaskswhichareeithertoohardortooeasy

• Showyourirritationorscreamorshout

• Removefromyourlessonwithouthavingusedanumberofsteppedresponses

• Overreact

• Threatenpunishmentswhichyouhavenointentionofissuingoryoudonotthinkyouwillbeabletoenforce.
