Behaviour summary by Tom Bennett
Tom Bennett published this summary guide on his website in 2016. It serves as a good starting point for refreshing behaviour management for any teacher at the start of a new year – though originally aimed at trainees.
The key emphasis is on getting fundamentals established and reminds of the need to revisit expectations and routines through the year. Also, the primacy of following the school’s policies, including asking for help when behaviour becomes challenging without improvement after enacting the school’s approaches in good faith.
The summary provides a broad framework for creating a behaviour curriculum. I am leaning heavily on the work of Tom since he has guided my practice more than anyone else over the past few years as a teacher and school leader.
