What is Disruptive Behaviour?_________________________
“ a school’s intrinsic role is to provide teaching and promote learning for it’s student body. Consequently, any event or incident that frustrates this process can be characterised as disruptive behaviour.”
School Matters 2006

What is the Impact?
Behaviour leading teaching and choice of methodology
Lack of connection to the central function of learning
Reactive instead of proactive Well behaved students are disengaging Teacher stress and loss Teacher isolation and deskilling Student life choices and opportunities are
compromised

“Effective teachers influence and manage the choices children make about their behaviour” ( Hook and Vass,2004)

“Where good behaviour is reinforced and acknowledged, it is more likely that it will become internalised. Public acknowledgement of positive student behaviour also helps to promote a sense of community within a school.”
“School Matters: The report of the Task Force on Student Behaviour in Second Level Schools” (2006) p.75

“Whatever incentives teachers use it is essential that our characteristic teaching practice includes the principles of supportive and descriptive feedback and encouragement to our students regarding their effort, their goodwill, their contribution, and their thoughtful and cooperative behaviour; even if they are supposed to be doing that anyway! Like us, students benefit from – and even look for – acknowledgement and affirmation ”
“Class Room Behaviour” – Rogers, B.(2000)

Routines Consistency Predictability – Students like to know the routine and
the consequences “The outstanding teacher communicates high
expectations and then teaches procedures to facilitate them.” (www.MarvinMarshall.com, 2002)
Routines and procedures around : Entry to class Registration Asking permission Organisation of equipment Change of activity Signals for gaining attention Exit

Initiating Statements
Initiating statements teach good behaviour by naming what you want from the student “Pauline, face forward and listen. Thank
you.” “John, I want you to lower your voice so
we can talk. Thank you”

When things escalate…
Remember… You are in an escalating situation when you are:- Answering pointless questions- Starting to argue- Trying to persuade- Justifying your requests- Explaining things over and over- Using an aggressive tone of voice- Changing your requirements- Making exceptions- Completing the work for them

Flip the Script
“David, let me see if I understand what you are saying… Number one… Two… Three… Is that right? I cant do anything about that now
but…”

Alpha Commands
Give specific instructions with no more than 2 directions “David, I want you to face forward and
start question one.” Give clear and direct instructions. Allow take-up time

Broken Record Technique
Keep repeating the same message in a calm voice
Identify the goal and make a clear statement.
Pepper the broken record technique with empathy! “I know that you are frustrated but I
need you to calm down before we can talk.”
