@RogersHistory Run a poll on schools that include this as Contact Time? I believe some advice from @dylanwiliam was that unless it is a required role of a trained teacher - can we outsource it to assistants/SSOs? If it is important and requires professional expertise; it equals contact time.

The inevitably you place on student's disengagement with good practice, instruction and teaching of traditional mathematics is disheartening. A deficit model of the beauty of maths is what comes through here and in the thread..love a bit of crisp paper, pencil and pure maths 👌

This meme regarding the "Fire Brigade Model" from @tombennett71's Running the Room was one example of some pretty good feedback after teaching pre-service teachers at University about Behaviour Management. @aussieEDchat @thingsbehindsun

Insanity.

@adamboxer1 I think Rogers is trying to add calmness and a sense of direction to scattered and inexperienced behaviour managers. If a class has run all over a teacher; telling the teacher to pick up on all secondary behaviour will only add to the chaos.

[Tom Bennett OBE @tombennett71]

Behaviour management with the wrong lens. When well-meaning people ask teachers to consider and address social causes for behaviour. It's not that it's not relevant, or important, but that you're talking to the wrong people

[Andrew Malcolm @malcoad]

@tombennett71 The issue for me here is that then those who understand that management needs to occur instantly say, "I NEED SANCTIONS!!" This is fine but I rarely see someone who thinks Behaviour Management = Lots of sanctions; develop positive, calm and high achieving learning environments.

@tootingscot @aussieEDchat @greg_ashman @thingsbehindsun @tombennett71 Great point! Don't touch the wet paint! This is for a staff survey...

[Andrew Malcolm @malcoad]

@aussieEDchat I need a comprehensive list of behaviours that students exhibit and can be managed in a classroom..any ideas? Ie; Noise level, throwing items, getting out of seats without permission..any resources anybody know of? @greg_ashman @thingsbehindsun @tombennett71

[Andrew Malcolm @malcoad]

@kennyped @greg_ashman @aussieEDchat @thingsbehindsun @tombennett71 Oh that's helpful! Just need to generate this list..

[Andrew Malcolm @malcoad]

@calucas16 @aussieEDchat @greg_ashman @thingsbehindsun @tombennett71 Hmmm...not sure what you mean here? My experience is that if you have a culture where learning is the goal and regardless of the "reason" a child has; they'll likely fall into the culture of the many..?

[Andrew Malcolm @malcoad]

@Anjali_rajan @tombennett71 @aussieEDchat @greg_ashman @thingsbehindsun This need is particularly targeted to Middle School but not a necessity. I want to survey staff and get some visuals as to where we all sit regarding, for example, asking a friend in another part of the room, a question about the learning. It's a no(99% of the time) from me..

[Andrew Malcolm @malcoad]

If you come into any of my lessons at any time it is always HIGH stakes. Regardless if I'm lesson 7 on a Friday or week 10 of a term; the way I want students to behave is always being monitored. The observation impact @tombennett71 can be low, but my role and every lesson is high

@DavidDidau But I'd argue their goal is not to help them get better.

[Andrew Malcolm @malcoad]

@DavidDidau First part of the question:

Parents want to know how their kids stack up against the rest. Traditionally, Ds and Es are danger signs; Cs are satisfactory and As and Bs are where you wanna be.

Second part:

Don't know.

@ddmeyer Rational equations... x = 3...? Don't know what the problem is.
