Reflections on the National Behaviour Survey

from Beyond Good Hosted by Matt Findlay and Femi Adeniran

In today’s podcast Femi and Matt dissect the recently published findings of the DFE national behaviour survey. This is another conversation which is not at all subject-specific and should be of interest to all colleagues. In this episode the duo discuss the challenges with collecting and reporting the data; the student perspective; the gap between what leaders are saying and what teachers and students are saying; walking the shop floor; wilful blindness and false praise; the importance of accepting reality as a precursor to improvement; variation within the data; variation within school compared to variation between schools; individual teachers skilful management of behaviour vs whole school culture; training and the challenges of providing truly effective training; how does Femi support teachers who are struggling with behaviour management?; coaching as a long term process for sustained improvements; what barriers teachers typically face when it comes to improving behaviour management; how strong relationships can be when built on the solid foundations of ‘strict’ (as in ‘warm-strict’); the opportunity for far more efficient curriculum coverage by tightening up lessons; staff wellbeing; why isn't behaviour management central to initial teacher training?; Why do so many schools have behaviour policies that are ineffective and poorly designed? ; Discipline as a key to flourishing, and other topics.
