Behaviour For Learning
There are a number of reasons why our young people do not learn
Relationships
One thing we rarely discuss is the value and importance of human connection
James Comer
“No significant learning can take place without a significant
relationship”
Some may believe……..
“I do not get paid to like the kids, I get paid to teach a lesson and for them to
learn, its simple I should teach and they should learn!!”
FACT
In reality people do not learn from people they do not like.
At Passmores
When talking to students about various issues in lessons the most common phrase I hear is……
“What is the point the teacher does not even like me”

Four Types of Disruption
Aggression
• Aggression will occur!
• It is not always motivated by anger!
• Seeking attention
• Wishing to distract attention away from failure at a learning task
• Trying to control another student or the teacher
• To burn off excess energy
• Boredom
• Using home or street behaviours at school
Breaking Rules
Will occur but do we repeatedly refer to the rules & appreciate the students for their rule compliance?
Confrontation
Refusal to do as requested. Can be a form of aggression. Generally a power play trying to assert control – I am in charge of me! Leads to inappropriate behaviour!
• Feeling mistreated
• To gain attention
• Resentment towards authority
• Avoiding embarrassment – poor test result
Disengagement
Can happen when:
• The learning task is too difficult or easy
• Work is meaningless, lacks relevance
• Work is boring, repetitive & dull
• Long wait times – handing out books/papers one at a time!
Please note:
Rule 1: Three before B!
Rule 2: Aggression towards the teacher = Confrontation
IDENTIFY ABCD
• Banging on desk = Aggression
• Cheating = Breaking Rules
• Doodling = Disengagement
• Eating in class = Breaking Rules
• Making fun of others = Aggression
• Lying to the teacher = Confrontation
• Ignoring directions = Confrontation
• Late/missing homework = Breaking Rules
IDENTIFY ABCD
• Insolent facial expressions = Confrontation
• Not doing the work = Disengagement
• Stealing = Aggression
• Singing out = Breaking Rules
• Swearing at the teacher = Confrontation
• Skipping class = Disengagement
• Sleeping = Disengagement
• Displaying weapons = Aggression
Seven PositionsAttention seeking- these students need to feel cared for
Avoiding failure- need to feel successfulAngry- need to express displeasure (Reece Cooper)
Control Seeking- need to feel like they influence people and eventsEnergetic- need to move and touch and be expressive
Bored- need to be motivated and interesting in learningUninformed- need to know how to act and interact responsibily
Scenarios
• Case Study 1 Katrina Will Not Work
• Case Study 2 Sara Cannot Stop Talking-
• Case Study 3 Joshua Clowns and Intimidates-
• Case Study 4 Tom is Hostile and Defiant
Food for Thought
• 90% of behaviour management happens outside the classroom.
• When students get to Year 9 they are far too chatty, use it to your advantage.
