Every effort should be made to provide good role models for students and to highlight and reinforce students who behave in a socially acceptable manner. Teachers should also be role models to students, this means remaining calm and not reacting in a hostile or aggressive manner.
Explicitly teach social skills to all students, take the time to do this as the time will benefit you in the long run. Then continue to teach and reinforce these skills as and when they are needed. An example of a social skills program that can be used is Friendology or Get Happier. Encourage cooperative behaviour both within the classroom and in the playground.
Schools should be environments where aggression is not tolerated. This does not mean that aggression is responded to with punishment. Rather it is a case of everyone in the school community providing students with clear guidelines about what is and is not acceptable behaviour and providing timely and educative feedback on behaviour – good and bad when it occurs. Ensure you know what the guidelines are and stick to these.
