Need to know. Alan Steer's keys to better behaviour. 1

Description

Sir Alan Steer, headteacher and national adviser on behaviour, summarises the strategies he recommends schools adopt that can help them improve behaviour, and therefore improve teaching and learning. In conversation with education journalist Mike Baker, he say that there's no single key to good behaviour, but fluid practices shared between primary and secondary schools. These include the use of seating plans; early diagnosis of children with special needs, and good support and understanding for pupils and staff. Most valuable of all, is a teaching and learning policy. As behaviour adviser to the previous government, Sir Alan Steer published a series of reports on pupil behaviour, culminating in Learning Behaviour: Lessons Learned in April 2009.
