Instructions

• There are four areas for you to develop your classroom practice. Click on each one to go to a summary of why it is important, what success looks like and ideas for practice.
• Select one of the ideas for practice from each area to try out in your classroom (note that for some areas there is only one idea to try out).
• This will require some additional planning either individually or in collaboration with a colleague.
• You should also evaluate the effectiveness and impact of this in discussion with your mentor.

Learn how to develop a positive, predictable and safe environment for pupils, by:

• Giving manageable, specific and sequential instructions.
• Checking pupils’ understanding of instructions before a task begins.
• Using consistent language and non-verbal signals for common classroom directions.
• Using early and least-intrusive interventions as an initial response to low level disruption.
