I am very proud of being able to manage the behaviour of a class of year 9 foundation students which included 12 students with Special Educational Needs. At the beginning of the first term these students had really poor behaviour. I implemented all of the strategies learned in my PGCE and on Tuesday SWD and it worked well. I ensured that there were clear expectations from the beginning. I gave them individual instructions and a welcome at the door. I built relationships with them and gained their trust and I consistently modelled good behaviour to them. I praised them for little things to build their self-esteem.
