Please feel free to share your posts with us! #ukedchat @mrpeel #ukedchat with trainees who get stuck with groups and allow a sense of lack of awareness to develop - make this a key to training #ukedchat constantly turning round @mrpeel I work is primary, so that hasn't been an issue for me. Is it very common? #ukedchat @Jivespin > this sounds like an effective tool! Does it work? #ukedchat Tonight's #ukedchat topic: Strategies & tips to improve low-level behaviour issues? Hosted by @ICTmagic What are the differences between low-level behaviour issues in Primary and Secondary? #ukedchat @ICTmagic All staff trained, clarity of expectations, focus on de-escalation and positive rewards, involvement of parent/carers..#ukedchat @UKBlogAwards Yes - really hits the mark. Even better when you get your TA involved #ukedchat @magicalmaths we would love for you share your posts with us! #ukedchat Year 6 boys general silliness #ukedchat @ICTmagic not in my current school... #ukedchat or my current classes.

as learning tools? Aren't they creating more behaviour issues? @mrpeel Yes sir, you are sir! :) #ukedchat Sign up to the #UKedchat bulletin to stay up to date with topics, posts & view the best links shared on the hashtag. http://ukedchat.us7.listmanage1.com/subscribe? u=e97344da33f46a7dbb6f16fe4&id=ec47899e39 #ukedchat I forgive a lot if it is witty and inventive. It's crass silliness that narks. #ukedchat I find punishing students helps. #ukedchat 2nd tool is empathy - if you cannot understand the child and their behaviour - your sanctions will not fix anything To deal with low level behaviour, absolutely no chances or warnings before action. Certainty of action. #ukedchat All staff being consistent in their treatment of low level behaviour issues is key. Child should always know what to expect #ukedchat @Jivespin Yes we bet! Great way to learn sharing approach also, as well as talking about the topic promotes learning! #ukedchat Do we think that benefits of using mobiles in class outweighs potencial behaviour problems with them? #ukedchat MAKE behaviour management easier by putting one of these signs on your classroom door. #ukedchat pic.twitter.com/tUTHOA6XRj It's awe or nothing... http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=yN3l5TkRzBY #ukedchat #ulearn13 Make sure your students know what u expect from them #ukedchat pic.twitter.com/me8jQfZ6Cb @OuthwaiteTt feel free to share with us! Do you Blog at all? #ukedchat @cherrylkd oh totally agree! #ukedchat Any schools found a good balance between using mobiles in lessons & behaviour management of them? Any schools banned them? #ukedchat @UKBlogAwards Also gives freedom to collaborate and encourages the weaker students to 'get out there' and ask #ukedchat

@oldandrewuk yearning for the birch? The vital thing id to follow through on any threatened sanction, however slight it seems.#ukedchat #ukedchat 3rd tool is 'righteous indignation' - you manage the safety and respect of that space. Believe in those rules - or they won't Often a link between low level behaviour issues and hunger, tiredness #ukedchat #ukedchat @ICTmagic cause more issues I'd say - no least protection of privacy and ensuing arguments between students. For teaching & techno-shy teachers: iPad, Nexus or Huddl? #ukedchat #engchat can i just ask? Anyone else here old enough to remember the threat of the cane? #ukedchat it never worked, but I remember it hurt. @oldandrewuk What form does this punishment take? #ukedchat GET pupils to behave by reminding them that you've already got your GCSEs. #ukedchat #ukedchat - Unlike @oldandrewuk I find carrot works better than stick - but ... not afraid 2 use the latter either (figuratively of course) @cherrylkd Definitely you need absolute consistency. #ukedchat @oldandrewuk Your Blog looks fab! #ukedchat #edchat @ICTmagic yes indeed, as long as students understand usage expectations and outcomes are made clear #ukedchat Giving warnings indicates that you're happy to spend time warning them. #ukedchat #nowarnings @mrpeel I totally agree with following through on action - it clearly defines boundaries #ukedchat adapted @dylanwiliam secret student, it made chn responsible for own learning and made it a class effort. Very effective! #ukedchat @cherrylkd whatever their age! #ukedchat Where does parental support/engagement fit in to dealing with low-level behaviour issues? #ukedchat SHOW others that you've perfected managing difficult pupils by ordering them to do whatever they happen to be doing already. #ukedchat

@dandesignthink: Make sure your students know what u expect from them #ukedchat pic.twitter.com/jk6OMFics4 We had them - highly recommended @ICTmagic Banned in ours from Sept. Less trouble when told to have on desks, but it was bad manners to text etc during lessons.#ukedchat Follow up everything, don't tolerate one person disrupting others learning. #ukedchat @dandesignthink looks fab Dan! Do you make your own Infrographics? Picture paints a thousand words! #ukedchat @eylanezekiel You bribe children to behave? #ukedchat @ICTmagic #ukedchat Whatever the school policy allows. #ukedchat I always try to be consistent and only let myself down when they make me laugh due to genuine wit or cleverness. Often low level behaviour issues are boredom, I chat with kid and ask what can I do to help them focususually throws them! #ukedchat @mrpeel #ukedchat You just contradicted yourself. @Jivespin yes great indirect learning techniques! #ukedchat #edchat Getting parents involved is important too. Their support in dealing with silly behaviour is vital. If not then it is impossible #ukedchat Lessons that engage student interest are the best way to reduce low level behaviour issues #ukedchat @mrpeel thanks for the follow! #ukedchat #edchat @oldandrewuk and you punish them to behave? #ukedchat How is that working out 4 you? I said I use a range of approaches. Do you use just 1? @dawson_serena Was there much debate about the decision amongst the staff? Widely supported? #ukedchat @oldandrewuk #ukedchat nothing new there then... I cherish the truly inventive spirit of twattage - even if it needs sanction @Jivespin #ukedchat depends very much on the kind of parents you have...

@StuartLock #ukedchat Unfortunately it's very often policy. @Sablonette Absolutely #ukedchat @TeachingTopTips Is this effective? Are all children aware of the impact that their GCSE's make to their adult lives? #ukedchat @Jivespin #ukedchat but I do agree, in principle involving parents makes things much easier! Become a member of the #ukedchat.com forum and add your comments to an array of past discussions. http://ukedchat.com/forum-2/ukedchat-topics/ @eylanezekiel #ukedchat I didn't say anything about quantity, just wanted to check that you were endorsing bribery as better than punishment #ukedchat warnings are not just a threat - they are a guide to children who are developing their social skills about where the boundaries R Which do you find more useful? The carrot or the stick? (Hopefully not literately!) Can you give examples from your own teaching? #ukedchat Tonight's #ukedchat topic again: Strategies & tips to improve low-level behaviour issues? Hosted by @ICTmagic @oldandrewuk define bribery - then define punishment - in this context - please #ukedchat @ICTmagic Debate? You're kidding! Decision made, end of. I liked to use for Socrative (sshh, don't tell, I still do sometimes) #ukedchat Innovating a (PE) Department http://shar.es/E2OZW #ukedchat #pegeeks @pegeeks #edtech Is it behaviour tonight? Simple: Cane the buggers. #ukedchat @ukedchat @ICTmagic #ukedchat both work - it depends on the relationship you have with the class. @mrpeel we feel it is key for Teachers to showcase personality instead of portraying themselves as robots? #ukedchat @CaptainGove @ukedchat #ukedchat only the buggers? Seems a bit homophobic. Surely one size fits all. @eylanezekiel #ukedchat Bribery is something given to induce particular behaviour. Punishment is something

deserved for bad behaviour. @oldandrewuk by 'carrot' I meant, mainly, - house points to those who are behaving to point to what I want or whole class rewards #ukedchat @ICTmagic I found this very important. Useful to try and find time at the end of each day to speak w/ parents, obvious, but helps #ukedchat Insistent consistency! #ukedchat @ICTmagic #ukedchat 3 green squares and 2 red ones on board - everytime you say shh.. a box gets filled. When they get in the red = sanction @UKBlogAwards #ukedchat not our job to showcase anything surely, but simply to be ourselves. @Sablonette Is it not important to foster a relationship where the carrot works best? Students working with U rather than against? #ukedchat @ICTmagic @Sablonette #ukedchat ideally all working in same direction. Set boundaries, encourage to remain within and sanction when don't #UKedchat ... Always refer to learning rather than behaviours exhibited whenever possible ... Depends what time of year and what group Had a big chat, this morning, about the death of levels and the birth of deciles #ukedchat making primary pupils "secondary-ready" There are 100s of tweets posted to #ukedchat every day.

No behaviour - good or bad - equals a particular result. #ukedchat What behaviour stategies do you employ in your own classroom? #ukedchat @mrpeel @ICTmagic #ukedchat totally #ukedchat : low level behaviour issues?

quick my friends #literacychat #ukedchat http://teachmeet.pbworks.com/w/page/68322846/Teach Meet%20Literacy @RichardFiona Can you expand on why parental support is important? #ukedchat @eylanezekiel Are you seriously rejecting the entire concept of desert AND calling it sloppy? #ukedchat @iversity #startup #mooc #elearning platform to join/organize free ecourses http://goo.gl/dwqQW8 #ukedchat #elemchat #lrnchat #ntchat #UKedchat ... Give direct command statements quickly and refer back to learning ... Don't drone on about the inappropriate behaviours @mrpeel this is true! Do you think some children forget Teachers have a real personality and are 'real' humans: themselves!? #ukedchat @caroljallen: Often a link between low level behaviour issues and hunger, tiredness #ukedchat Have seen this recently-frustrating for all! @ICTmagic #ukedchat Yes, I agree - but it also cultivates the idea that expected behaviour deserves prizes etc. A balances is needed. #ukedchat do praise points, stickers work? pic.twitter.com/u3dvO4JDhg ENSURE that pupils with iPhones can't be distracted by it for an entire lesson by making them start the iOS7 update. #ukedchat @UKBlogAwards #ukedchat I think some teachers forge tthat they were children- see low level behaviour in whole staff inset! Anybody using home/school agreements or pupil contacts? Useful? #ukedchat @eylanezekiel #ukedchat So behaving is considered praiseworthy rather than normal and expected? A bit obvious but develop a seating plan & change it if necessary to keep students focused. Also focus on positive behaviours. #ukedchat #ukedchat @ukedchat see my positive behaviour card simple and useful. http://ow.ly/pHo4L @mrpeel @UKBlogAwards #ukedchat indeed.

top noise to their attention. I try to praise constantly for on-task learning chat #ukedchat Rewards and Sanctions in the short term. Model, Teach and instil mutual respect in the long term. @englishlulu your Blog looks extremely inspiring! Our awards may be of interest we go live Monday! #ukedchat #edchat Focus on the behaviour - seems easy but... 'love the sinner, hate the sin.' #ukedchat Focus on the behaviour - seems easy but... 'love the sinner, hate the sin.' #ukedchat @oldandrewuk @eylanezekiel #ukedchat this is exacerbated by interim reports allowing a 1 for extra special good behaviour @eylanezekiel #ukedchat Not at all. Desert is an absolutely vital moral concept. #UKedchat ... Ask the teachers who have no trouble what they say or do ... Expertise is in our own schools usually Teachers are only one factor amongst all of the many factors that make for academically successful students #ukedchat @ICTmagic can be, but generally for a short period of time - quickly become ineffective! #ukedchat "@CaptainGove @ukedchat #ukedchat only the buggers? Seems a bit homophobic. Surely one size fits all." Reminds me of my Eton days. #marrow What role can classmates play to keep pupils exhibiting low-level behaviour issues in check? #ukedchat @eylanezekiel But simply for refraining from misbehaving? #ukedchat @oldandrewuk #ukedchat - likewise - everyone gets housepoints as often as possible - but they are held back from those who need reminder. @magicalmaths thanks for the follow #ukedchat #education @ICTmagic #ukedchat Whole class rewards and peer pressure. @ICTmagic calling out, random noises, fiddling #ukedchat I've seen people use this as a fun way to reward positive behaviour @ClassDojo #ukedchat

Would that work for PDA? Is the humble sticker the best behaviour management tool ever made? Secondary colleagues thoughts? #ukedchat #UKedchat ... What's best? Concentrating on learning or spending time writing names on a board, concentrating on behaviour? Only one answer #ukedchat and dont be afraid to use silence to stop the gentle twattage - much more effective than shouting. #ukedchat : we tried privilege time for awhile, but removed it as didn't feel it was making any difference. @oldandrewuk Not what I am saying. a variety of approaches (not just threat of punishment) means P is more likely to be fair #ukedchat REWARD well-behaved pupils by not punishing them. #ukedchat RT @TeachingTopTips: ENSURE that pupils with iPhones can't be distracted by it for an entire lesson... #ukedchat>> Brill! #ukedchat - engaging students by getting them to lead, even in the simplest sense of pausing and unpausing a video they may be watching! @RichardFiona Hi Fiona, great book!

share your posts. We are also creating a free blogging ebook! #ukedchat #ukedchat I remember having to thank my HM after he caned me. Quite bizarre. I think we even shook hands. @outdooradventu1 @oldandrewuk #ukedchat I think once marbles are in - none come out. Class treat. Unless kid is excluded - they join in. @WhiteDebs How long did you use privilege time for before it was stopped? #ukedchat @mrpeel #Ukedchat Silence doesn't work for every class hough. Some will keep you waiting forever. @mrpeel #ukedchat indeed, can be very powerful. Or 'ignore' a student. Teach them, but don't raise to their baits. Very hard but effective. Are they engaged? Are activities too long? Quick fire activities and accountability to stop loafing. It's a teacher issue first #ukedchat RT @mrpeel: #ukedchat and dont be afraid to use silence to stop the gentle twattage >> I agree but it might take some time though, no? @mrpeel: #ukedchat and dont be afraid to use silence to stop the gentle twattage-much more effective than shouting. Tomorrow's lunch quote @eylanezekiel #ukedchat So you are assuming teachers are too incompetent to punish fairly? #ukedchat Does anyone still use the class points system where they get rewards for good participation & behavior? Lose pts for bad. @outdooradventu1 #ukedchat - hence know your class, but it can be worht waiting in the long run @philallman1: @ICTmagic: How do you deal with children who seek attention? #ukedchat Everyone! Ignore this tweet *giggles* @ICTmagic she saw things I'd missed and was really helpful. #ukedchat RT @outdooradventu1: @mrpeel #Ukedchat Silence doesn't work for every class hough. Some will keep you waiting forever.>> yes, I agree @ICTmagic Look for ways to make them feel special, the need is real and once satisfied removes the behaviour #ukedchat @HolbyL #ukedchat Letting students drive the

technology in the room gives them ownership over the activity. Good choice @tmeeky @outdooradventu1 #ukedchat me too, but we're talking low level - the sudden silence which makes them realise they#'re audible... @dawson_serena I love @ClassDojo http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/Classroom+Managemen t+%26+Rewards#classdojo #ukedchat As usual, no definite answer, anecdotal results that rely on a good TEACHER. Fairplay to all of you; you know your pupils #ukedchat #ukedchat Worth considering the term consequences? Offer your possible choices to child. Avoids instant reactions. @mrpeel True its another tool in the bag. I like to run a stopwatch for extra dramatic effect. #Ukedchat @urban_teacher I'd echo that with 'be remarkable!' #ukedchat @catalinelechat It is so frequently forgotten but the link between physical readiness to learn and behaviour is clear #ukedchat RT @ChrisChivers2: #ukedchat ..Offer your possible choices to child. Avoids instant reactions.>> yes, I agree. Pose choice, step back...wait Please read our EMIE October Newsletter http://eepurl.com/GCAIT #diversity #education #bme #teachers #ukedchat #TWWordOfMouthWorldTour @ICTmagic about two years - problems: losing minutes didn't have an effect - system unmanageable - reward time not special enough #ukedchat @eylanezekiel #ukedchat You appear to be assuming incompetence as the norm for teachers. #UKedchat Always find out who is the biggest trouble maker in each class and make a point of finding out as much positive stuff as possible. RT @oldandrewuk: @eylanezekiel #ukedchat >> you two are going to on all night if you are not careful :) Please read our EMIE October Newsletter http://eepurl.com/GCAIT #diversity #education #bme #teachers #ukedchat @OpBlackVote @WhiteDebs Did it ever work or was they a slow decline in effectiveness? #ukedchat

@oldandrewuk #ukedchat - behaviour policies need to consider wellbeing in the broader sense - moral, ethical, psych, not just for then Please read our EMIE October Newsletter http://eepurl.com/GCAIT #diversity #education #bme #teachers #ukedchat @BMETeachers @eylanezekiel #ukedchat Nobody's arguing against systems, just for ones based on desert. #ukedchat When all else fails. Stop everything and sing a song. It keeps me sane and lightens the mood. We use @ClassDojo with class winner taking Gus Gorilla home for weekend. Yr2. Wkly School points winners get cert in assembly #ukedchat @oldandrewuk #ukedchat - but because every moment of unfairness in a 'naughty' kid's life reinforces the chances of a criminal adult @MrACalvert #ukedchat do they deserve your time, though?? @ICTmagic #ukedchat worked well for the first term, maybe two - but not after that. @WhiteDebs Became the new norm? #ukedchat @outdooradventu1: #ukedchat When all else fails.Stop everything and sing a song. It keeps me sane and lightens the mood.>> or start crying @oldandrewuk I like anything based on dessert! (sic) #ukedchat @eylanezekiel #ukedchat No it doesn't. Class Dojo is good for awarding behaviour points #ukedchat @tmeeky It can be easy to react and misinterpret. As soon as "It's not fair" mindset develops, greater disruption can occur. #ukedchat @eylanezekiel your tweets are v innovative & inspiring! We would love for you to be apart of our free blogging ebook (all welcome) #ukedchat @eylanezekiel @oldandrewuk Desert vs Dessert - The new carrot and stick.

behaviour-issues/ @oldandrewuk Yes it does....

As soon as "It's not fair" ...> Yes, then it's damage limitation. #ukedchat If u have to follow a school warning policy, cover your arse by giving warnings annually to all classes at the start of September #ukedchat Sign up to a bulletin from #UKedchat to keep up to date with the UK's largest teacher discussion on Twitter. http://ukedchat.us7.list-manage1.com/subscribe? u=e97344da33f46a7dbb6f16fe4&id=ec47899e39 #ukedchat If you're always trying to get rid of bad behaviour, you can't really understand it; you're caught up in reacting to it. We must call it time for tonight! Thanks for allowing us to be apart of #ukedchat Please look out our site for more info! Also run #BlogHour #ukedchat don't reward poorly behaved with extra holiday revision sessions so as to catch up for not listening 1st time round RT @HairSV: #ukedchat If you're always trying to get rid of bad behaviour, you can't really understand it...>> good point @eylanezekiel #ukedchat I mean what you are saying is obviously wrong. People don't murder, rape, steal etc because their teacher was unfair Next week, #UKEdchat is hosting a SCIENCE subject special. See http://ukedchat.com/subjectspecials/ pic.twitter.com/6lD13vvGwc @ICTmagic pretty much. #ukedchat @ICTmagic #ukedchat my instinct is that it is appalling. What happens in real life? @ICTmagic: How do you feel about some schools using cash rewards...? #ukedchat>> do you respond to prospects of a pay rise? Respond rather than react #ukedchat Do detentions/losing breaktime (or threat of it) stop behaviour issues? #ukedchat

@Sdfahey @eylanezekiel Could it be we have free will? #ukedchat @ICTmagic:Do detentions/losing breaktime (or threat of it) stop behaviour issues? #ukedchat>> Nah, not in my ex. Just makes me miss my break Does out and out bribery work? How do you feel about some schools using cash rewards to 'movitate' students? #ukedchat @Sdfahey I totally agree with you It is not that I believe in a relativist universe. I believe in absolutes but reallife doesn't! #ukedchat Raffle tickets are good. Children get raffle tickets for positive behaviour. Raffle draw at the end of week to win prizes. #ukedchat #edchat #ukedchat some will only adjust to detention if it means they miss something they do enjoy. have chatted to PE dept to work out a good time @ICTmagic From my experience, no. I think there are other strategies that could be more effective. #ukedchat RT @ICTmagic: Does out and out bribery work?>> we don't use cash bribes, but sure it would work #ukedchat @eylanezekiel @ICTmagic Didn't Paul Pennyfather offer half a crown in Waugh's Decline and Fall 4 longest essay to 'shut them up' #ukedchat #ukedchat what constitutes positive behaviour? We have a right to expect good behaviour as a courtesy -as we show respect. better than good @its_alastair Good tweet. Can you tweet again with the #ukedchat hashtag? Interested in hosting a Thursday night #ukedchat session? Contact @ukedchat for more details. @ICTmagic classmates in a lot of cases are other peers role models. Powerful teaching strategy. Use classmates to empower others. #ukedchat What do awe and wonder look like in your classroom? Here's our take: http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=yN3l5TkRzBY #ukedchat #ulearn13 Inspired by @mrjkwilson @LorraineAbbott7 Interesting ideas. Thanks. @tmeeky #ukedchat Plenty of low level disruption on twitter most nights, guess we should sort that before we worry about the

kids:-) #ukedchat Set the bar high. Show your class you care. #ukedchat #edchat #ukedchat surely bribery is tantamount to admitting defeat? Just over 5 minutes left. Time to tell us what did you get told off for when you were at school? #ukedchat @ICTmagic as part of a wider recognition of good contribution in class then yes. It's the recognition that is important #ukedchat @ICTmagic Intrinsic motivation is a key goal to ensure learners can sustain focus and determination beyond school. A real ideal :) #ukedchat @ICTmagic extrinsic motivation can only be a shorttime fix. To truly develop learners, motivation must come from within #ukedchat @ICTmagic great teachers will capture imagination without rewards initially though. That is 100% correct in my mind #ukedchat Just 5 minutes of #ukedchat remain. Final thoughts?
