Behaviour checklist for teachers

Behaviour checklist for teachers 


Classroom 


 Know the names and roles of any adults in class. 
 Meet and greet pupils when they come into the classroom. 
 Display rules in the class - and ensure that the pupils and staff know what they are. 
 Display the tariff of sanctions in class. 
 Have a system in place to follow through with all sanctions. 
 Display the tariff of rewards in class. 
 Have a system in place to follow through with all rewards. 
 Have a visual timetable on the wall. 
 Follow the school behaviour policy. 


Pupils 


 Know the names of children. 
 Have a plan for children who are likely to misbehave. 
 Ensure other adults in the class know the plan. 
 Understand pupils’ special needs.

Teaching 


 Ensure that all resources are prepared in advance. 
 Praise the behaviour you want to see more of. 
 Praise children doing the right thing more than criticising those who are doing the wrong thing (parallel praise). 
 Differentiate. 
Stay calm. 
Have clear routines for transitions and for stopping the class. 
Teach children the class routines. 


Parents 


Give feedback to parents about their child’s behaviour - let them know about the good
days as well as the bad ones.
