Behaviours to repeat

  • Keep calm
  • Focus on what is important – continuing the lesson
  • Ignore what is not vital – tactically ignore some behaviours (TIB-ing)
  • Speak what you want and say “Thank you” as if to anticipate compliance, then look away
  • Give the student time and space to make their choice
  • Don’t be led off into secondary behaviours – smokescreens
  • Focus on the primary behaviour – don’t get sidetracked
  • Quietly comment to the student on their good choice 1:1
  • Ensure you notice them making an effort
  • Keeping things in perspective
