WHAT TO DO FIRST?

• Neither were the correct personnel in place

Page 5: BEHAVIOUR FOR LEARNING

ETHOS

• A pastoral structure was created that listened

• Staff and students were encouraged to think positively

• Photographs of students who had been successful were put on the walls

Why implementing a whole school behaviour system is the first

fundamental• Brings teachers on board and releases

goodwill and energy.• Creates a whole school team feeling and a

‘we can do this’ attitude.• Provides clear and direct evidence to students

and parents that the school is improving.• Has a positive effect on recruitment and

retention.• Provides immediate support to NQTs and new

staff• Provides the platform for improving teaching

and learning.• Is the basis for evolving into a learning

community.

THE SIGMOIDCURVE

Page 9: BEHAVIOUR FOR LEARNING

S0

• Having made progress with the ethos there was still too much time spent off task by students – too much time arguing over behaviour problems

• A behaviour system to answer these needs was required.

Page 10: BEHAVIOUR FOR LEARNING

Strategy: BFL a whole school behaviour system

• From Assertive Discipline roots but heavily modified by Ninestiles over ten years.

• Further modifications by Waverley and The International School to meet their own needs.

• Provides a whole school supportive and consistent disciplinary framework that teachers, students and parents appreciate.

• Supported by IT to facilitate monitoring, analysis and response to individual, group or whole school behaviour.

• Mirrored with a Praise system.

Page 11: BEHAVIOUR FOR LEARNING

BEHAVIOUR FOR LEARNING

• A whole school discipline policy that covers all aspects of school life.

• B.F.L. IN THE CLASSROOM• B.F.L. AROUND SCHOOL• B.F.L. TOWARDS THE INDIVIDUAL• All punishments/consequences are given

through a central school system. Staff cannot individually punish students.

Page 12: BEHAVIOUR FOR LEARNING

ninestiles plus …creating a learning culture

B.F.L. in the classroom

For low level disruption

First misbehaviour……..Verbal warning (C1)• Second misbehaviour…….Verbal warning

(C2)• Third misbehaviour……..Detention(C3) for 1

hour• Fourth misbehaviour…….Isolation(C4)

Student is removed from the classroom

Page 13: BEHAVIOUR FOR LEARNING

REMEMBER

• To make clear that a consequence is given( if a student is on a C3 and is then removed

from the classroom that removal is the C4)Consequences are written on the covered sheet

provided.Any student caught changing the consequences

will go to isolation. When a consequence is given it should not be

cancelled .Students should not be sent to stand outside

classrooms to “cool down”.

Page 14: BEHAVIOUR FOR LEARNING

ninestiles plus …creating a learning culture

B.F.L.. towards the individual

Any physical violence….student is excluded.

• Bullying….verbal violence, swearing at another student…can be a warning or a C4 or exclusion

• Verbal violence towards a member of staff and the student is excluded.

• Any student carrying inappropriate objects (knife, drugs) will be permanently excluded.

Page 15: BEHAVIOUR FOR LEARNING

ninestiles plus …creating a learning culture

BAD LANGUAGE

• If staff can hear bad language directed to them or about them the student must be removed from the classroom(C4 or exclusion)

• If two students are using bad language between them a C3 is given

• A student shouting bad language across the classroom so other students can hear will receive a C4

• Loud enough to be heard loud enough to be punished

Page 16: BEHAVIOUR FOR LEARNING

ninestiles plus …creating a learning culture

STAFF LANGUAGE

• Staff should always be aware of the language they use when speaking to students------------ students are not stupid but can act in a stupid way

• Speak as we would like to be spoken to

• Always behave with the integrity of our profession

Page 17: BEHAVIOUR FOR LEARNING

ninestiles plus …creating a learning culture

REMEMBER

• All rules are based on common sense

• If you think any rule is unfair speak to a member of staff and the rule could be changed.

TIMESCALE

• Day One….C3/C4 is given and the appropriate form is filled out by the end of the day and put in the year or isolation box in the staffroom.

• Day Two….HOY/Deputy HOY collects forms and gives detention slips to Tutors.

• Deputy Head collects isolation forms and sees each student individually. Isolation as soon as possible

Page 19: BEHAVIOUR FOR LEARNING

ninestiles plus …creating a learning culture

TIMESCALE

• Tutor gives student C3 letter.

• Student must sign to say they have received letter.

• If students do not agree/understand the C3 they should talk to either their HOY or deputy HOY.

• Day Three……student does C3 detention.

Page 20: BEHAVIOUR FOR LEARNING

ninestiles plus …creating a learning culture

C3 letters are issued 24hoursbefore the students’ complete their C3 detention.

HOY’s Register students duringC3 detention.

If students do not turn up for C3 detention they will be issued asuspension letter the following morning, explaining that if they do not complete their C3 detention that afternoon they will be suspended for one day & their parents and the student will return to school on the specified date.

If student behaviour is positive and

constructive within the school

students accept praise as a genuine reflection

of their success

Page 22: BEHAVIOUR FOR LEARNING

ninestiles plus …creating a learning culture

PRAISE

• In all classrooms students should feel comfortable and non threatened.

• In all classrooms there must be twice as much praise as there are consequences

• Every 50 praises a letter will be sent home to pupils parents.

Page 23: BEHAVIOUR FOR LEARNING

ninestiles plus …creating a learning culture

PRAISE• HOY Will every half-term put on year

notice boards the praise achieved by all pupils in the year group.

• Subject staff in Key stage 3 to write/stamp praise in student planners as well as recording.

• Faculties to use their own praise systems.

• There should be always at least twice as much praise as consequences in every lesson .

Page 24: BEHAVIOUR FOR LEARNING

HOMEWORK• Any student, missing homework will

receive a C3• Missing homework means not giving in

the homework on the correct day• There can be no chances• If the pupil is absent it is the subject

teacher's responsibility to chase and if necessary give the consequence

• No consequence can be changed unless it is a mistake

• There can be only one C3 for each homework

Effective Implementation of BFL needs…..

• A leadership team that is personally and professionally committed to BFL

• A willingness to prioritise BFL resource needs in terms of staff time and energy

• All teachers – including those who have good classroom management skills – using BFL procedures.

• A determination to recognise and respond to the inevitable local teething problems

Wise Sioux Saying

• If you find that you are riding a dead horse the best strategy is to:

• Dismount

• Walk

• Or find a live and fast horse

Page 29: BEHAVIOUR FOR LEARNING

ninestiles plus …creating a learning culture

Bad strategies include -

• Ignoring the fact that the horse is dead• Flogging the horse to make it go faster• Changing the rider• Saying ‘this is the horse that we have

always ridden’• Holding meetings to discuss how to

improve the performance of the dead horse.

• Spending money on better quality food for the horse.
