Curriculum delivery

Class/subject teachers ensure that:

• Children/young people are greeted when they enter the classroom
• The instructions in the classroom are clear, concise and consistent
• Expectations in the classroom are clear and regarded as fair by the children/young people.
  
  
• Children/young people who are meeting and exceeding classroom expectations are frequently noticed and praised, as appropriate to individual need.
  
  
• Adults use praise that is specific and aimed at effort and learning behaviour rather than just achievement.
  
  
• All staff regard the teaching of social, emotional and behavioural skills as part of their responsibility across the curriculum.
  
  
• Resources to teach SEMH are age appropriate, inclusive and relevant.
  
  
• There are opportunities for pupils to take some responsibility within lessons.

Recommended texts to read regarding how adults respond to children's behaviour are:

• When The Adults Change, Everything Changes.
• How to talk so kids will listen and listen so kids will talk
