Plan For It Being Good

Smile, like the class and talk about good behaviour

‘John, I need you to face the front and listen

now. Thank You’

‘John why have you turned round?. You

always do this...’

Real Time : “Well done, I like the way you have shared the

resources evenly”

Future Time : “Ahmed, thank you for putting your pen down”

Catch Them In!

Linking BehavioursLink Good Behaviours: ‘Sophie, it

was really kind of you to...’

Separate Bad Behaviours: ‘Sophie, your behaviour was really upsetting for...’

Offer ChoiceReplace Threats... ‘Stop talking or I will move you. You are ruining the

class and put your bag on the floor. If you refuse I will send you out’

With Guided Choice...‘Roger, if you choose to keep talking whilst I am

teaching you’ll be choosing to sit on your own. Make a better choice. Thanks’
