1 Implement agreed behaviour management strategies

Performance criteria

P5 Regularly remind pupils of the school’s code of conduct

I regularly remind children of the school's code of conduct, for
example, walking down the corridor, not running, being sensible in the
toilets, putting their hand up instead of shouting out, listening when
other people are talking, being respectful of each others feelings.

P6 Take immediate action to deal with any bullying,

harassment or oppressive behaviour in accordance with
your role and responsibilities
If I witness a child showing oppressive behaviour, or a child tells me
that this has just happened to them, I take immediate action in line
with my role and responsibilities. I ask each child to tell me what
happened and listen carefully to each side. I then ask the child
displaying the negative behaviour to consider what they have done
wrong and how they can go about putting things right. I remind them of
the schools code of conduct and advise them not to act that way again.
If the incident was a serious or an ongoing problem, then I would inform
the child's teacher at an appropriate moment so that this message can
be reinforced.

P7 Recognise and respond appropriately to risks to yourself

and/or others during episodes of challenging behaviour
Recently, I was supervising a girl in the nurture room who has
behavioural difficulties, as well as some other children. I recognised
that she was becoming particularly agitated, and this prompted me to
respond by asking another child in the room to fetch the member of
staff who usually works with this child. Shortly afterwards the child
left the room and starting barging her way along the corridor. My
college arrived at that moment and she was able to calm her down and
take her back into the nurture room.
P8 Refer incidents of inappropriate behaviour outside your
area of responsibility to the relevant staff member for
action
When I witness inappropriate behaviour that I am unable to deal
with, I always refer this to the relevant member of staff in an
appropriate moment, especially if this is a serious or an ongoing issue,
for example, a child swearing at a member of the dinner staff.

P9 Contribute to reviews of behaviour, including bullying,

attendance and the effectiveness of rewards and
sanctions, as relevant to your role
When I am working with groups of children, I always feedback at an
appropriate moment to the teacher on aspects of the sessions I
undertake eg their level of participation, understanding, and behaviour.
Sometimes I have to use sanctions with certain children who display
challenging behaviour, eg writing a sad face on the board next to a
child's name. I am able to report back to staff about whether or not
the child responded to this sanction so that they know whether or not
to use that method themselves if the child misbehaves again.

P10 Provide clear and considered feedback on the

effectiveness of behaviour management strategies
I am able to report back to staff in a clear and considered way about
the effectiveness of behaviour management strategies, eg sending them
out of the session back to their classroom if they misbehave, or
rewarding them with a five minute play outside when they have finished
their work. Staff will then know what strategies to use themselves
should the situation arise again.
