Focus:	Managing Behaviour
Big Idea:	Escalating and De-escalation of behaviour
Key Ideas/Messages that informed/or challenge my teaching practice	Behaviour levels: Anxiety Students exhibit anxiety differently Best approach - supportive and empathetic Defensive Can look different Be directive - redirect behaviour Take charge Clear Give positive and negative choices Allow time and space Acting out Loss of rationality Brain not working Can reason with Give space - direct to quiet space Offer choice - be flexible and creative Tension reduction: Decrease in physical and emotional levels Follow up doesnt need to be immediate. Rebuild relationships Separate the behaviour from the child “I like you, but what are we going to do about your mouth?” Things to thing about: Proxemics - how close and how you stand Kiesics - posture gestures and facials Listening empathetically Precipitating factors - things out of control the effect student behaviours
Implications/Actions for my teaching practice	We were given many handouts about creating a behaviour plan. Use behaviour plan steps and template to create a behaviour plan for target students in my class
Reflection on actions to share at next meeting	Follow up session next school holidays...
