@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.

FT classroom teachers who are also expected to be form tutors in schools: The countless messages to read out, video clips to play, pastoral calendars, taking the register and logging XYZ will never take priority in someone's mind when they might have a full day of teaching to follow. Expect mistakes or forgetfulness or lighten the load.

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

This is the greatest ever FIFA song and I won’t hear otherwise… twitter.com/CiaranCPFC/sta…

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.

Can someone explain the "ignore secondary behaviours" thing to me?

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

@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...

@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

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

@malcoad @greg_ashman @aussieEDchat @thingsbehindsun @tombennett71 Transitions- into/ out of class; to/ from desks. Attention- on what is being taught; what is being said. What to do when others are misbehaving.

@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..?

@malcoad @aussieEDchat @greg_ashman @thingsbehindsun @tombennett71 Behaviour can only be managed if the child is open to reason. If they aren't there is no chance.

@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..

@malcoad @tombennett71 @aussieEDchat @greg_ashman @thingsbehindsun Age group?

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.

@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.

Give me your best reasons reasons for giving students GRADES as a measure of progress. How does it help them to get better at subjects? Thanks.

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

14% of students had the same wrong answer to this question in our curriculum and it makes me pretty happy. What was the wrong answer and what would you do with it? #WrongAndBrilliant

11......4?
