unwanted behaviour (e.g. was it another pupil,, or a
negative comment from the teacher?)
B: behaviour – describe the resulting response (eg
lashing out, sulking, refusal to cooperate)
C: consequences – what happened afterwards (eg a
warning or reprimand from the teacher, SERCO entry,
department support, another child getting upset) and
how this affected subsequent working?

Optimus Education:
A Teachers role…
Introduce the TA by name in every lesson and don't refer to them as 'assistant'
Ensure the teacher and TA have joint responsibility over giving rewards and sanctions?
Sit down together and work out exactly how you are going to work together – hand out the Cheney TA contract
Develop a shared public voice - talk together in front of the students and bounce ideas off one another
Swap responsibilities so the children see it's a genuine partnership
