Movement, Praise and Groups
This Teachers TV programme features Trainee teacher Nic Cooper who wants to improve her behaviour management. Nic is taking a top-set Year Seven science lesson on kidney function. Behaviour expert Sue Cowley helps Nic relax and praise her students more.
Once the group work has begun, Sue notices that Nic spends much of the time pacing around the groups. She also notices that the self-selected groups are either all-boy or all-girl, and suggests there may be merits in varying this for future lessons.
With such a well-motivated class, Sue encourages Nic to praise them more, relax into her teaching and start to build on the good relationships she has already formed with the students.
