Hi,

Reactive - how you react/respond to something that has happened
Proactive - how you plan to prevent something from happening.
Strategy - A plan of action or policy designed to achieve a major or overall aim source

Policies and Procedures

If thinking of reactive strategies and behaviour, how are you expected to respond to times/incidents of aggressive, inappropriate, explosive, vocal, distressing behaviour, in school environments maybe - chatting, nose picking, fidgetting, unwillingness to stay seated, inability to wait for a length of time, instigating conflict - eg.hair pulling & retaliation?

Are you expected to model behaviour any maybe remain calm, patience, listen & hear what's being said - verbally and non verbally, remain unbiased, be fair, support with praise, encouragement, understanding, use facial expression & eye contact that conveys meaning, remain consistant, know how not to judge, discriminate or show prejudice, provide activities that help to explore feelings, expression & language, provide a range/level of responsibility - self care, tidy up..

What proactive stategies take place to protect everyone - what policies are in place, regular/planned meetings do you hold, assessments - for individual needs and for risk, reporting, updating, feedback systems, planned occassions that help set rules & boundarie, discuss a groups expectations ahead of events?

Maybe your role involves ..

• Diversion strategy
• Negotiation - that de-escalates a situation, restore calms, resolves conflict and disputes.
• Mediation
• Containment
• Physical and verbal intervention
• Challenging inappropriate behaviour
• Anti bullying strategies
• Practitioner's knowledge of how to avoid escalating a situation
• Explaining the potential outcomes of children's chosen actions.
• Time out or breather, calm down strategy
• Behaviour management training
• Monitoring buddy systems or other peer support strategy
• Organising the environment
• Naming the unwanted behaviour V labelling the child.
• Using non-confrontational language that avoids blaming - YOU did that
• Whole setting approach, room approach, indoor, outdoor approach.
• Strategies that examine how home setting partnerships support, include and can alienate a child.
• SEAD
• Planning for activities that instil a sense of importance, eg. providing hi-vis jackets alongside adult to child ratios, ahead of a trip out helps to promote road safety and responsible roadside behaviour.
• Utilising planned circle times to explore issues.
• First aid procedures and training

Some settings may remove resources/equipment that are considered a threat, implement reward/gift type strategies and consequence/sanction punishments which aim to evoke a reinforced behaviour.
