INTRODUCTION
This professional development resource on Behaviour Management has been devised at the request of the Principal to provide a “How to” guide on working with students with behavioural problems and how to positively manage a classroom, using AITSL Standards 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 as the guiding Standards. All of the AITSL Standards will be looked at and what is required to meet these standards, although Standard 4.3 will be the standard focused on because it focuses on the teachers ability to manage challenging behaviours.
AITSL Standard 4.1 is directed towards supporting students participation and what strategies can be used as a teacher to promote inclusiveness in the classroom and engagement in class activities. Standard 4.2 focuses on how a teacher manages classroom activities through organisation and clear explicit instructions. Standard 4.2 is also necessary for teachers to establish and maintain orderly and workable routines to create an environment where student time is focused on learning.
Standard 4.3 is directed towards managing challenging behaviours in the classroom and how efficiently teachers demonstrate practical approaches to behaviour management. The "What Key Theorists and the Literature Say" page included in this website is a very helpful resource with practical approaches to behaviour management because it establishes a variety of theories that have been proven to work in the classroom and references key theorists whose research would be ideal to explore to widen your knowledge of different ways to practically manage challenging behaviour and allow for a more educational environment. Standard 4.4 is the last standard focused on in this resource and is fundamental for maintaining a safe environment for students by providing strategies to support student safety and well-being while working within the school, curriculum and legislative requirements (AITSL, 2014).
The pages that you will encounter throughout this resource include “What key theorists and the literature says”; “Brief overview of relevant legislative requirements and school policy” and “Ideas from good practice”. There is a one page wall poster included in this website that is available as a download to provide in staffrooms and staff eating or gathering areas that summarises the key ideas from this professional development resource for teachers and staff to further their knowledge in behaviour management and an "Appendix" that is highly suggested to look at because it asks two questions relating to behaviour management and answers them in detail that may not be included throughout the resource.
