After researching behaviour management in childcare centres, <A HREF="http://seds.sturt.flinders.edu.au/lp.htm">Louise Porter</A> concluded that the prevailing reward and punishment approach does not work.

Louise Porter believes it's not in childrens, or parents, interests to overtly attempt to control children's behaviour.

More crimes against humanity have been committed in the name of obedience than in the name of anarchy," she says.

At the same time, she acknowledges parents are often left confused about what their rights are.

The ultimate goal of 'guidance parenting' is for children to learn considerate behaviour.


Louise Porter - Behaviour Management in Children

Our guest for this first episode of our new series on Behaviour Management is teacher, education consultant and author Dr Bill Rogers. An Honorary Fellow of Melbourne University, he shares his expertise on behaviour management, effective teaching, stress management, colleague support and teacher welfare around the globe through lectures, seminars, professional development courses and, of course, with teachers in the classroom.

Our guest for the second episode in our Behaviour Management podcast series is Phil Beadle – a teacher, education consultant, public speaker, author and broadsheet columnist. Phil was once named Secondary Teacher of the Year in the UK and is considered an expert in the areas of literacy and behaviour management. In today’s podcast he joins us on the line from the UK to discuss behaviour management, but in particular the different de-escalation techniques that educators can use to manage challenging behaviours in their classrooms.

Behaviour Management Episode 2: Phil Beadle on de-escalation techniques

In today’s Behaviour Management podcast we talk to Dr Anna Sullivan from the University of South Australia. She’s been working on the Behaviour at School study which explores the existing state of student behaviour and its management in South Australian schools. Here, she shares her insights into what it means to enact respectful, school-wide behaviour policies and the role of school leaders in doing so.

Behaviour Management Episode 3: Enacting respectful behaviour management policies

This episode sees Paul and Will take on behaviour management (for probably the first of many times!). From looking at what the role of senior leaders should be in shaping policies and supporting staff, through to the advice we would give to teachers who are just setting out, we try to talk through how our own experiences have shaped our current approach.&nbsp; Trying to do as large a topic as behaviour management justice in 40 minutes is no easy task, and so we hope you enjoy this starting point for the conversation.&nbsp;

Behaviour Management - Tackling the Hydra

Dr David Armstrong from Flinders University is our guest in today’s Behaviour Management podcast. We explore how certain behaviour management models are simply ineffective, particularly for students with learning or mental health difficulties, and discuss his research in this area.

Behaviour Management Episode 4: Behaviour approaches for children with disabilities

My guest today is Dr Jeff Thomas, a lecturer in the Master of Teaching and Graduate Certificate of Education at the University of Tasmania. Jeff’s research and teaching interests include the relationship between engagement and classroom behaviour, and reengagement approaches for disengaged students.

With the start of the school year fast approaching here in Australia, many teachers will be busy preparing for those first, initial weeks in the classroom. And according to Jeff, the beginning of the year is an amazing opportunity to engage students, to build relationships and to establish explicit expectations around student behaviour. But, he says, it’s important to plan for positive behaviour. 

Our discussion today covers many different areas including how to plan for that positive behaviour in your classroom, which routines are critical to establish in the initial weeks of the year, and practical things to keep in mind when responding to particularly challenging behaviours as they arise in class.

Behaviour Management Episode 5: Planning for positive behaviour

Dr Tony Leigh is an Academic Lecturer and Researcher in SCU's School of Education.  He expands on the topic of Classroom and Behaviour Management for the 21st century in our most recent podcast.

Classroom And Behaviour Management For The 21st Century Podcast

ERRR #031. Bill Rogers on Behaviour Management

Building positive relationships is at the centre of the behaviour management strategies used by Dapto High School. The additional focus on boys’ wellbeing has seen the school volunteer for the Top Blokes mentoring program and create a new staff role – Boys’ Mentor. Our guests for this episode of Behaviour Management are Dapto High School’s Deputy Principal Daniel Inness and Boys’ Mentor Andrew Horsley. They’ll be taking us through the mentoring approach, how it works alongside some of the other behaviour management strategies at the school, and some of the savings it’s led to – in time and money.

Behaviour Management Episode 6: Mentoring boys

Researchers have found that to improve behaviour in class, teachers should focus on praising students for their good behaviour, rather than telling them off for being disruptive. Professor Paul Caldarella joins Teacher to discuss his three-year project that looked at the relationship between the praise-to-reprimand ratios and the extent to which students focused on class activities.
