My First Teach-Meet! Notes as they occured - To My Best Ability!

Its October 27th, I'm currently in Rolle 018 and its heaving with people eager to learn and teach!

I will add posts as if it were live with the times etc

18:08 - Start - PES introduction, helping to get us informed with teaching both on the course and in the classroom. Clinics for advice for work, placement etc. Presented with the Opp to present from the audience

18:13 - Tasha Kent
Lecturer - If you have a well planed lesson where the children were engaged then the children will behave. Asks the audience

'Kids are Kids at the end of the day'
'Plan it so the children create their own engagement'
'Regardless of being well planed there should always be a back up'
'Its difficult to focus on their behaviour'
'Trying to create an environment that allows them to behave well'

18:19 - Oliver Q
Behaviour Management - What's your why?

Model by Simon Sinek- Golden Circle - Companies (What are we going to do, How are we going to do it, Why?)

Apple - Started with Why and then Made 'Macs'


Start with 'Why' - Teaching and planning for a reason

Book - Punished by Rewards - One teacher - Stickers are so easy, it takes effort to think why they are talking etc it takes no effect thought and talent to say 'be quiet and this is what you will get'

Many stories from the audience about the pros and cons of giving awards, stickers etc.

Whole class rewards, the children tell each other to behave?

Mixed behaviour and ability requires different ideas for rewards

It works v. well if it effects the children's opinion and understanding

Phone the parents if they have been excellent not just bad!

Good job for one child but not for the others? does that mean their work isn't any good?

Materialistic world - Stickers mean a lot to kids!

As long as you build self esteem its all good

Working colab with the class as a whole

18:45 - Alex - Sec for the Soc

Prezi - Flash Based Presentation

Einstein Quote - Everyone is a genius but if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree

'If you believe you are stupid how do you feel? how do you behave?'

'So does effective behaviour management consider the actions and mindset of the teacher or the learner?'

'Perhaps it is about understanding the particular needs and putting it into practice'

18:50 -

On placement - Teacher doesn't use any obvious behaviour management, job share, just voice raising, is this a good way of getting the children's attention?

'Children become immune to shouting'

'A voice is a fantastic tool, you can get quieter and it can be just as powerful'

'get quieter and the children will hear what you were saying, we had a noiseometer, visual aide'

'wiggling fingers, waving hands and getting their attention'

'children will copy you, modeling shouting etc'

18:55 - Sarah 4th Sci Spec

Children with Autism

They struggle to deal with situations.

Teach Trays - Link on twitter

Work stations without all the clutter, 2 or 3 trays with their work in, clear obj, visual, what they want to do, working independently. 3-4 activities, show what's expected of them, rewards are given so that they know they have finished their work.

19:02

Behaviour in Danish schools

Seemed like a class of angels - the danish thought their children were miss behaved

Danish Schools - 7-15 in the same building - shoes off, slippers on, sit where ever, more freedom

The whole class were involved in an individual problem, discussing feelings etc

19:10 - Tasha Kent - Seeking the Attention of Children

In this school you couldn't punish them - tried getting their attention, shouting, counting, waving.

Counting to 10 eventually worked

'if i hold the door open miss can i have a sticker?'

Use of a tambourine to gain attention

Putting finger next to mouth to show quiet worked.

Fav way of getting attention - *woo woo* (like a train) children respond with *shhhhhh*

19:15 - Child Situation

'A child is acting up in class as a result of sensitive home issues which you are aware of. Their behaviour is very distracting for others but the child is distressed' DISCUSS

'Child could have a nominated friend to help them through it?'

'take the child away from the class, say if they want time out, cry, space etc'

'If its a one off thing take them away, if its often give them space etc'
