Unit 8: 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 Ways to develop and maintain positive relationships – a checklist for new staff * Take time to actively listen to pupils but remain as a figure of authority within the school, by doing this, children will feel comfortable communicating with you, whilst responding appropriately to authority. * Ensure that boundaries are in place from the beginning of term. * Be a good role model for pupils. If pupils see you acting kindly towards others and treating them with respect, they are likely to do the same. * Encourage children to respect each other.
One of the policies are a children’s behavior policy It is a document that entails positive behavior, how to deal with aggressive behavior, bullying and foul language. It also explains what you should do if any of these incidents was to occur. There are many ways staff/teachers can promote positive behavior, being a positive role model, not using foul language, always showing respect for others e.g. good manners, please and thank you, listening to their views, understand and respect their view and needs. Praising pupils; if they have done well in reading or math’s or just overall good behavior, Let their parents know, reward them with a prize, sticker, or first in the queer at lunch and a certificate at the end of the week if they keep it up.
It also has the anti-bullying policy in it and how we should handle situations and explains what inappropriate behavior is. I think that the benefit of encouraging and rewarding positive behavior through praising is that the children learn good behavior from bad behavior and I tend to see more of the same positive behavior reoccurring when I reward it. When children know that there are boundaries set it makes them feel secure and helps provide children with a safe and secure environment, thereby promoting good mental health. The nursery has golden rules * Show respect for others, considering their rights to
Giving children a safe, nurturing environment in which they are able to learn how to use the tools required to build resilience is paramount. Strategies such as being able to say no, strategies to calm themselves when they are feeling stressed or anxious, calm areas, a timer, a talk buddy, a sprint, writing in a diary are tools which can assist in this. There are many ways that we can support children's self-confidence. It is important to recognise, praise and reward, in line with school policy, their achievements however small, celebrating even the small successes. Likewise it is just as important to accept that getting things wrong is okay and to understand how we can learn from our mistakes.
To work and build on positive relationships with children there has to be a good understanding of putting the pupils needs first. There must also be an understanding that helping pupils develop good relationships with others is essential to promote the wellbeing of pupils and the school Principals that can promote positive relations :Demonstrate respect towards pupils; Use appropriate behaviour and
This type of play is excellent for developing language and for expressing feelings. Games: When children play games they learn to take turns and communicate with each other. They express how they feel about what the other child has to do or did and sometimes they try to support the other child if they think they do not understand the game and it’s a great way for them to develop their communication. Their vocabulary will improve. Pictures: Pictures are used alongside words to make communication more easier and understandable.
Finding ways to make the material fun, engaging, and easy to comprehend will nurture a love of learning. Treating students with kindness and respect and helping them learn to apply that to others to create a positive and nurturing environment. * Differentiated- Making sure to include visual, audio, and tactile facets to all curriculum so that each individual will have the best chance possible to understand the material not matter their learning style. Working in pairs, small groups and classroom projects where partners and assignments are chosen based on the individual needs of the students. Keeping charts on each student for educational, social, and behavioral goals and personalizing the reward and recognition that they get for their effort and
Children will learn how to calm themselves, managing anger and aggressive feelings. Motivation – Pupils are able to become active and enthusiastic in their learning, perhaps taking small steps to achieve a set goal. Helping children to concentrate on positive learning skills and to overcome distractions or behaviour issues, children can also learn how to evaluate their learning for the future. Pupils can also learn how to have a positive approach to overcoming mistakes of disappointments. Empathy – Children learn how to recognise others feelings, knowing how their own views/opinions could affect others.
There are several relationships that matter here: Parent- teacher, parent- child, teacher- child. They all should be equally yoked and the parent should realize that each of these relationships will be beneficial to their child. “ Several Studies show that when parents are positively involved in their child’s education that they achieve higher grade, test scores, perform better in school, and actually attend school” (Children, 2008). The children are more excited about learning and education because their parents show an interest in it. In the teacher- child relationship, the teacher can build the relationship by utilizing active listening skills, making direct eye contact, engaging in one on one and face to face interactions with the child.
Explain why effective communication is important in developing positive relationships with children, young people and adults:- A positive relationship is one which will benefit the child, young person or adult and aid in their ability to gain positively from their environment. If you wish to have positive relationships you must remember you are a role model when working with children, young people and adults. A role model must be mindful, demonstrating daily your own effective communication skills with others. When communicating with others you must be considerate of how and when you approach them, you do not know what may be happening in their personal life. Positive relationships enable information to be communicated far more effectively.
