UNIT 304 Knowledge Understand policies and procedures for promoting children and young people’s positive behaviour. 1.1 The policies and procedures we use in our setting relevant to promoting positive behaviour are the ‘Good behaviour for learning policy’ and the ‘Dealing with bullying policy’. The Good behaviour for learning policy explains what, as a setting, we expect from our pupils, staff, parents, governors and even visitors. It sets out our code of conduct, it explains how, as a school, we develop a positive learning atmosphere, what classroom management strategies we use and about the rewards and sanctions too. It lays out what we expect from the parents and what we will give back to them.
Unit 8: Use and Develop Systems that Promote Communication Be able to address the range of communication requirements in own role: It is imperative whilst working with children to be able to address the range of communication requirements within a school. Without communication methods and strategies confusion, miscommunication and assumptions can arise unnecessarily. Building a successful classroom environment requires effective communication strategies. It is proven that schools that have developed effective communication strategies are often very efficient when it comes to teaching students. I liase through many different communication methods with a range of people and departments within my current job role.
Culturally Competent Consultation in Schools focuses on consultation between school personnel and parents. It explains how imperative it is for school psychologists and other personnel to become actively engaged in in culturally competent practices. It continues to explain that all school personnel should continue to examine and increase their cultural competence so that their efforts meet the needs of every student. The article also has links to personal assessments so educators can heighten their awareness and sensitivity to the importance of cultural
Returning a year later 47% of spurters had made significant progress. Teachers beliefs about pupils were influenced by the test results, the teacher conveyed these beliefs to the pupils through interactions like body language, attention and encouragement. By accepting the prediction that some pupils would spurt ahead teachers bought this about, the fact that the spurters were selected at random and not based on the iq test shows that if a teacher believes a pupil is a certain type, they can make them that way. Rosenthal and Jacobsons findings show an important interactionist principle that what people believe to be true, will have real effects- even if not true origionally. We know that if a teacher has low expectations of a child and communicates these in interactions, this could lead to a negative self concept.
Teachers have clear objectives to which they can tailor their lessons, and administrators have clearer means of monitoring progress in schools (Wright, 2012). During an interview with a parent of two school age children attending different schools had this to say concerning the act… NCLB is a positive approach to education because scientific studies show that children who have been held back often display a lack of confidence, social skills and often have issues with problem solving (Johnson, 2012), By getting immediate help when and where needed we can through this process avert that outcome and cause our children to be more confident and productive succeeding and achieving equally amongst their peers (Johnson,
I see this as a way to encourage open dialogue between students and administration. Circulation does convey a purpose to students as well as staff. I believe the principal must create that climate for learning with openness and development of trust. Through this reflective process I realize that the principal did do the majority of the paper work after the students had departed from school. This commitment models the expectations for the staff and proves that I, as a principal, must strive to create a school culture that has a positive influence on life and learning in my school.
We have age limits and restriction on many things, but why does are education system expect these young kids to make the right choices, ask for help and develop good study habits on their own. Our education system needs a new approach to resolve these issues. Teachers and parents need to be held responsible, for how well these kids do in school. We need come up with a new plan so these students aren’t left lost and helpless. Flunking students can be used as a positive tool by our education system.
A homework club that involves and encourages parental participation may provide additional resources and materials for families with limited access to these. Vincent (cited in The Open University, 2010, Block 3, pp.47-48) suggested four classifications for parental involvement – ‘Detached parents’ (prefer schools to take full responsibility for learning), ‘Independent parents’ (provides support away from school), ‘Supportive parents’ (actively engage with schools) and ‘Irresponsible parents’ (unsupportive of schools and children’s learning). A homework club would provide opportunities for more parents to be ‘supportive parents’, which will have a positive impact on children’s
When it comes to Cognitive Behavioral interventions the behavioral concept is to incorporate systematic procedures for rewarding students for the reduction of aggressive behavior that they display to their peers, administration staff and educators and use their problem solving strategies instead of lashing out. The educator will use social reinforcements to praise and recognize which can include extra time on the computer, listening to their favorite song or even extra time in recess to show that their positive attitude and behavior is appreciated. We know that this won’t be easy or will not be picked up by the student quickly having positive feedback, rules and regulations set in place, proper modeling and even multiple practice opportunities. We cannot place the child in a situation that we know they are going to fail in just to prove a point and we have to keep in mind that every child is not the same and every reaction will not be the same as well (Etscheidt, S.,
Unlike public schools, charter schools allow parents to become more involved with their children’s school environment, teachings, and progress. One of their main goals is to improve the education system. But, a negative aspect of being a charter school is that the schools must meet their required goals, and have the possibility of closing if unattained. This is why some parents have a tough time deciding whether or not their children should attend charter schools because they have the potential to close if goals aren’t met. In relation to expenditures, charter schools are funded through sponsors and grants (Vann 1).
