3) Behaviour Management
General Students enrolled in summer school are generally
well behaved and there are rarely any behavioural issues.
Important to structure programs to prevent behaviour management issues through engaging students in meaningful & stimulating activities
Administrative processes – roll marking, legal requirements, duty of care etc.
Establish a clear set of parameters from the start. Be firm, fair and consistent with expectations of
behaviour. Seek to establish a responsible adult orientated
learning environment.
