Positive behaviour management

For any student disrupting a class I used to ask them to stand at the back of the class for a few minutes so that they continue learning and I monitor how they take the management. This worked for me. Only for the very disruptive cases did I send out of the class and followed after the class. If no improvement was noted I informed the rest of the teachers and when it needed calling the parent to school it was done. This worked.

The checklist as mentioned in the discussion, do happens in Belize. However, I can be able to rate it as a 2 because it sometimes happen. Not all the time. Not everywhere. But it does happen. Evidence of this can be seen when schools are visited.

Thank you for sharing your experience Florence. Handling of disruptive cases is sometimes very delicate. Some pupils may intentionally misbehave so that they get a chance to  be sent  out of class.

At my school we have similar challenges with disruptive students scattered across the classes. While strategies are left up to the classroom teacher to implement on a day-to-day basis. The school has put plans and policies in place to help teachers make the right choices when dealing with these students. One such document, is our "Discipline Matrix" which is simply a document in a tabular format which outlines the students' behaviours being corrected and a list of possible interventions, starting from those easier to implement and then going further outwards to include parent conferencing and other resources found outside the school. As David Ngatia suggests, sometimes it's a delicate process and requires intervention on a case by case basis.
