A bit of a behaviour management focus to this week's TOT.

T1 is a report from the UK's Education Endowment Foundation on improving behaviour in schools. Some great recommendations therein including the suggestions that every pupil should have a supportive relationship with a member of school staff, students should be supported to be self-reflective of their own behaviours, and comments on the role of rewards.

T2 is an interesting chat on the Phil Naylor podcast (which I'm increasingly becoming a fan of!) on the idea of ‘Powerful Knowledge'. Will be exploring this idea more in the coming weeks and months.

In T3 we hear more from the guest from the podcast in T2, Ruth Walker, about how her school implemented a very strict behaviour management policy. The approach detailed in these three posts is definitely much more intense than what many schools are likely to want to take on but I think there are many valuable takeaways form the school's allocation of resources and commitment to the approach.

T4 contains some handy tips on keeping the first thing first.

T5, in the words of Harry Fletcher-Wood: “How can achievement gaps be full-fledged at age five, yet triple during summer vacations, yet still be the fault of schools? Those claims can’t all be right.” The answer takes in psychometrics, learning loss and reaches an optimistic conclusion.

And I'll let the remaining takeaways speak for themselves (the final takeaway is pretty funny btw)

Enjoy!
