After loving some of the ideas Sue Cowley discussed in our training day last week, I was feeling quite positive about dealing with a few of the Students. Firtsly, I think going in with a positive attitude as opposed to thinking 'Oh god here we go and again' has certainly improved my relationship with a few students in the class.
I also focused much more on the positive aspects the students were displaying as opposed to the negative ones. I asked the more challenging students to give books out, collect things in and be "in charge" of stationary etc. I only had to say once that this priviledge would be removed should they behave inapproriately. This in turn made them visibly more engaging in the lesson and there were no notable behaviour isssues.
Very pleased with this. I will certainly look to get those raffle tickets for next week as I think quite a few in that class would warm to the idea.
