Key Messages for Schools
- Improvements in behaviour and attendance require comprehensive
whole school actions, ‘one-off ’ training sessions are
unlikely to lead to
embedded change.
- The behaviour and attendance strategy builds upon the existing
range
of school self-evaluation and improvement activities.
- All adults within the school community should become skilled and
active in improving behaviour and attendance.
- Behaviour and attendance improvement starts with staff understanding
the causal factors and leads on to appreciation of pupil needs.
- Improvements in behaviour and attendance will lead to an improvement
not only in standards and inclusion but also in the quality of the
day to
day experiences for pupils and staff within schools.
Key Messages for Staff
- The Secondary Strategy Behaviour and Attendance Strand makes the clear
link between developments in effective teaching and learning and
improvements in standards of behaviour and attendance.
- We should acknowledge the sensitivity associated with this area
of
education and that all intervention and training activities are designed
in the knowledge that this is a challenging area.
- The Secondary Behaviour and Attendance Strand is intended to
address areas of school activity and practice which are connected
with relatively
low levels of misbehaviour and
attendance rates which are unsatisfactory, but not chronic.
