Consequences
Consequences
‘Consequences of Behaviour’ is designed to give children choices. Its principal role is to support learning by tackling and dealing with low-level disruptive behaviour, i.e. behaviour that undermines the children’s own learning or that of others. If unchecked, this sort of behaviour disrupts lessons and undermines the authority of the teacher. Children are given clear warnings in the classroom - C1, C2, C3. If disruptive behaviour continues, parents are informed and subsequent consequences are issued for C4, C5 and C6.
