Behaviour Management
Primary and secondary classrooms have changed radically over the last few years. Effective classroom and behaviour management is one of the major concerns of schools and of supply teachers. As a supply teacher, you may find it difficult to walk into a new classroom, full of pupils you have never met before, and to manage successfully the behaviour, and therefore the learning, of those pupils. From the point of view of the school, staff may be concerned that supply teachers would not be able to maintain sufficient discipline for learning to take place.
The following link will take you to Teachernet website and will provide you with useful information regarding managing pupil’s behaviour.
