EP 30 | Supporting Behaviour Without Behaviour Charts
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.
