Alison: Bullying because of irritating behaviour Group meeting to discuss problems

Stopping misbehaviour early Relationship building - getting to know your students (their likes) Each individual is different

Hi, I found some interesting information I thought we could use and didn't want to forget it when we next have a discussion so i though i would put it here. michelle If we use Alisons example one of the books I have has two interesting chapters that we could draw some info from. In the 35 ways book chapter 13 is on empowering students to resolve conflict. This is about teaching students to resolve conflict without using violence through making children feel connected to the school. Both of which are discussed in greater detail and also how to teach this. The next chapter is on eliminating bullying in schools, then there is some step by step instructions on how this can be achieved.
 * active listening.
 * peer mediation.

The calmer classroom book I have is more about abused children, which in a way is applicable because you might not know if a child has been abused. but it has some other points we could use about building relationships and defusing conflict- which I feel is important for all your students :) it also talks about having consequences and not punishment, so that the child can realise that the behavior is unfavoured and not the child him/her self.

p51- 93. -> different strategies and why certain strategies don't work. eg reactive approach. has examples of different reactions to behaviour etc.
 * attribute misbehaviour to individual attributes (attribute own behaviour to situation we are in)-> need to look at class room situation p 93. {improving school behaviour}

Discipline in AUS classroom.
 * looks at different states and the differences in legislation. looks at past of discipline and how we have progressed.
