TDA 3.4 Promote children and young people positive behaviour

[736hall]

This is an expansion of my powerpoint slide 11. How does the Every Child Matters Outcomes Support Children and Young People :)

The Every Child Matters green paper identified the five outcomes that are most important to children and young people:

Be Healthy
Stay Safe
Enjoy and Achieve
Make a Positive Contribution
Achieve Economic Well-Being

The programme places better outcomes for children firmly at the centre of all policies and approaches involving children's services.


Feel safe

Our school policy enables children & young people to feel safe:
By ensuring Interventions with children and young people take place before their circumstances and/or behaviours reach a crisis point
Establishing positive teacher-student relationships - High-quality teacher-student relationships are a key factor in determining student engagement, especially in the case of difficult students and those from lower social and economic backgrounds

Make a positive contribution

We allow our students’ to make positive contributions in all aspects of their learning and development, by providing autonomy support to nurture the sense of control over their own behaviours and goals.
Autonomy support can be implemented by:

Involvement in setting ground rules
Welcoming students' opinions and ideas into theflow of the activity
Using informational, non-controlling languagewith students
Giving students the time they need to understandand absorb an activity by themselves


Develop social and emotional skills

By embracing collaborative learning.
For example:
When students work effectively with others, their engagement is consequently amplified, mostly due to experiencing a sense of connection to others during the activities.
To make group work more productive, strategies are implemented to ensure that students know how to communicate and behave in that setting.
Other effective methods include:

Teacher modelling
Avoiding uniform groups and grouping by ability
Fostering individual accountability by assigning different roles
Building self-esteem through positive behaviour rewarded

Understand expectations and limits

All children and young people in a school setting should understand and know the expectations and limits of their school.
Positive discipline strategies begin with adult behaviours: good limit setting, clearly communicating limits. They include teaching more appropriate behaviour, giving cues for the new behavior, giving choices, and supporting children in their new behaviour. Positive guidance and discipline also include changing something about a situation, and ignoring behavior when it is appropriate to do so.


Hope this helps :)
