Give yourself a break
Description
How to avoid wasting energy dealing with every behaviour issue. Behaviour guru Sue Cowley coaches a primary teacher how to get his pupils to manage their own behaviour.Sue Cowley observes James Bird via hidden cameras as he teaches a science lesson about solubility to his Year 4 class at Greenholm Primary in Birmingham. She is able to coach James through a hidden earpiece not to react to every nuance of fluctuating noise levels and perceived off task activity. This begins to allow James some breathing space during the lesson and lets the children take on responsibility for managing their own behaviour. Sue suggests asking pupils to help introduce the opening experiment. She also advises lowering his voice and waiting for silence which helps vary the pace of his teaching. As the lesson progresses James is coached to draw back from intervening at every opportunity and to let the children get on with their group work.
