Accepting shared responsibility by knowing what our role is and what’s expected of us is very important, following recognised procedure and understanding shared values all promote good relationships. Educational values such as school Mission Statements and classroom Golden Rules helps all of us to promote a positive learning environment in the school. It is very important to have a good relationship with someone as they could help with disputes or disagreements, when they arise. Treat people how you expect to be treated, treat people as an equal and positively to promote effective communication. 1.2.
Policies are oftenly created by the governing bodies of the school in order for rules and regulations to be in place and enforced. When these policies are in place, it means there are some determined procedures of how schools operations are handled and all staff and pupils know about the expectation of them and act accordingly. This saves time, prevents confusion and unifies the school. To create a safe learning environment such policies are created which establish a safe physical and mental environment for the staff and students of the school. To achieve these, policies such as anti bullying policy, equal opportunity, fire drills and mental health guidelines etc are created.
Inclusive learning should promote positive behaviour and conduct. A teacher needs to recognise that learner comes with different learning styles and needs. Maslow stated unless certain need are met the learner cannot progress. Malsow ‘s hierarchy of needs theory is: Learners needs have to to be met in order for leaners to be involved and focused on their learning. For individual learning styles to be met, within a good learning sessions a teacher will ensure he/she takes a multi-sensory approach to teaching, this way each learner can work to the best of their ability.
When relating to the policies that affect the safety and lives of children and young people, these normally focus on guidelines on keeping young people away from dangers and reaffirming their chance of having positive lives. Safeguarding The safeguarding policies put in place by the government define the act of safeguarding as protecting children from mistreatment, preventing impairment of a child’s health and development and taking action to enable children to have the best outcome possible given their circumstances. This benefits all children by given them the right through both government legislation and the morality of the issue. An example of this would be enforcing that all adults of a child or young person based institution, such as a school, are given a criminal record's check. This ensures that anyone working with children has never proven to have a crime that may directly danger a child.
Values and Individual Rights AO1 A positive care environment is where people are cared for and well looked after. In this piece of coursework I shall be looking at how different services, create a positive care environment. I shall also be looking at the values the care environment uphold to keep the service users protected, and the rights of the individual service users. A positive care environment for a school is when both children and staff respect each other’s values and rights. At my work experience (BCJS) it is important for the school to have a positive care environment as the children need to feel like it is a place where they are safe and comfortable which will hopefully lead them to do well in their school work.
Trained teachers will automatically know the types of measures to use incase a student exhibits a certain undesirable behavior. These measures will ensure that students behave in an appropriate manner and their performance is excellent. They will also make sure that the relationship and interaction between them and their students is healthy therefore building a favorable learning environment. They should be in a favorable condition to notice various problems that individual students go through, advice, keep close watch and offer valid solutions. For a school to be the best place to mould good behavior and emotions, it needs to have consistent rules and consequences in case an individual breaks them.
When promoting positive behaviour in schools there are policies and procedures that all staff need to be aware of. The main policy relating to behaviour will be the behaviour policy but other policies will also have an impact; for example the health and safety policies, adult protection policies and anti-bullying policies. The policies and procedures within my setting relevant to promoting children’s and young people’s positive behaviour are: - Behaviour policy - Code of conduct - Anti-Bullying Behaviour policy: A behaviour policy promotes positive behaviour through developing skills such as self-respect, self-esteem, empathy, negotiation and problem solving. There are many ways staff can help students to develop these skills:
It sets out recruitment best practice, some underpinned by legislation, for the school, local authority, and further education education sectors. All schools should protect children and promote their welfare by providing a safe environment for children to learn in. Creating a culture which recognises and understands the importance of safeguarding - including listening to and discussing with children. Identifying children who are suffering or likely to suffer significant harm, both at school and at home, and referring immediately any concerns to the local authority children’s social care services. Preventing unsuitable people from working with children.
A teacher may be able to do a lot of things to avoid behavior problems. I believe in few well-defined rules and lots of procedures. Structure in the classroom and procedures that the students know how to follow will provide stability. When the students know what is expected of them then there is a natural flow to the classroom. The stability in the classroom is necessary to meet basic needs of students.
Define the meaning of Values: I think values are a person’s principles or standards of behaviour in schools. Values are what Malin Bridge School believes in and will therefore implement on children i.e., being respectful towards others, what the malin Bridge School believes to be right and wrong which could include the rules of conduct, and to consider something important. “A value is something you can strive to achieve to make their school a good place to grow up in” (pupil’s definition). Sector 3.2 Describe with examples how schools (Malin Bridge Primary) may demonstrate and uphold their Aims: Schools might demonstrate their aims by delivering the best curriculum and commitment in making sure all pupils succeed. They would uphold their aims by making sure all rules and class rules are followed.
