Description

Aaaaah, behaviour charts. Love them or hate them (I'm the latter), it feels like they're here to stay. I'm often met with exasperation - but HOW do we support behaviour without them? It feels impossible, but it isn't. I did it for most of my teaching career (bar one year). I cover:

  • Why behaviour charts don’t actually teach behaviour and what they do instead.
  • How children internalise their placement on behaviour charts, shaping their self-worth and peer relationships.
  • The connection between behaviour charts and social bias, including their disproportionate impact on neurodivergent children and children of colour.
  • Four alternative strategies to support behaviour - clear expectations, teaching missing skills, connection and problem-solving, and having a plan for tricky behaviours.
  • How to shift from compliance to skill-building, fostering self-regulation, responsibility, and a positive classroom culture.

There are ways to support behaviour while fostering connection, fostering skill building and helping children feel good about themselves - without the need for behaviour charts. Promise.
