Reviewing behaviour policy guide
Practical advice on reviewing your behaviour policy for a whole school approach to making meaningful change.
This checklist is designed to be used by early career teachers (ECTs) and their mentors alongside the NEU’s Reviewing your behaviour policy advice and the behaviour checklist for schools/colleges. It sets out some of the questions around behaviour that may need consideration as ECTs start their professional journey in teaching.
ECTs have told us that positive behaviour management and special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) are two of the key areas when beginning teaching on which they feel they require more support.
We hope that the checklist will help to facilitate the conversation about behaviour approaches between ECTs, mentors and the senior leadership team (SLT), and enable the support, appropriate information and understanding that is needed for success.
