Correction Strategies
1. Mostly use body language cues
• Eye contact → I see you• Smile → I like you• Stand side by side → proximity (effective when
student is off task)
• Touch (appropriate) → e.g. hand shake

2. Frequently use pre-planned verbal scripts
For example, ask a disruptive student:
1.What are you doing?
2.What should you be doing?
3. Do you need help to do it?

3. Sparingly apply consequences
Time out brief
Detention catch-up work
Sanction temporary loss of privileges

4. Always follow through
More easily said than done, however, essential to build credibility and to establish the message,
‘I mean what I say’.

Behaviour Management5 Classic Mistakes
![Page 17: Redbank School is located behind Westmead Hospital and is part of a combined DET and Dept of Health facility for the treatment of children and adolescents.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c995503460f94956a08/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
1. Taking student behaviour personally
![Page 18: Redbank School is located behind Westmead Hospital and is part of a combined DET and Dept of Health facility for the treatment of children and adolescents.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c995503460f94956a08/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
2. Reacting emotionally rather than responding intelligently
Know your own temperament & develop a strategy to calm yourself e.g. 3 deep breaths.
Live by the rule, ‘if in doubt wait it out’.
Seek support from your colleagues.
![Page 19: Redbank School is located behind Westmead Hospital and is part of a combined DET and Dept of Health facility for the treatment of children and adolescents.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c995503460f94956a08/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
3. Playing power games
Inevitably you will find yourself in the middle ofa power struggle with a student from time to time.
How to extricate yourself?
• Recognise when you are playing.
•Stay calm and say (either out loud or to yourself), ‘I’m not playing that game!’.
• Move to somewhere else in the room and redirect the focus.
![Page 20: Redbank School is located behind Westmead Hospital and is part of a combined DET and Dept of Health facility for the treatment of children and adolescents.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c995503460f94956a08/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
4. Asking students why they continually misbehave
This will not help! Instead:
• Seek support from colleagues
• Work as a team
• Never give up
![Page 21: Redbank School is located behind Westmead Hospital and is part of a combined DET and Dept of Health facility for the treatment of children and adolescents.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c995503460f94956a08/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
5. Blaming parents, television, society, or planet alignment
Some parents, for many reasons, manage their children poorly. However, rather thanlaying ‘blame’, ‘attempt to understand’.
‘By teaching well you will positively create change in more lives than you will ever know.’
