Classroom Management Discipline Policy Rewards • Teachers of English should praise and instil confidence at every opportunity and so should adapt and embed positive language in all aspects of their teaching • Giving positive feedback and explicit thanks for good lessons is encouraged and should be a regular feature of our end of lessons – differentiate this response and set improvement targets if lesson was not • The department follows the maxim: ‘catch them being good’ and attempts to pre-empt poor behaviour through praise • Teachers are reminded that classes are small enough to actively listen to all our students thus eradicating reasons for poor behaviour due to lack of attention • Immediate oral feedback within lessons should contain praise highlight something positive even if response is quite poor • Homework and class work written feedback should also contain positive comments that build confidence, promote reflection and lead to progression The more slips obtained the more points granted to the student and the house he/she enrolled in. Composes by: Laura Eissa English Department Blue slips Are awarded for outstanding work, improvement and very good effort. Teachers fill these and hand them directly to the student. Yellow slips Are awarded for exemplary work where a student has gone above and beyond the expectations of the teacher. Before filling these present the student work to your HoD for validation. This is to ensure that the integrity of such a commendation to the head teacher remains high.
