The words we use and the way we use impact the environment in which we teach. Safe and supportive learning environments are based on interactions that start with a Green footprint.

How we step into conversations to redirect student behaviour will influence the teaching and learning environment in which we work. Public redirection provides a platform for escalation and interruption to the flow of learning.

Learning is something that happens with a learner, not to them. Your interaction impacts the environment in which teaching and learning take solace and are the foundation of a safe and supportive learning environment for all students.

Small activities we can use to fill the spaces when we are taken away from the curriculum to keep learning as the priority. When students are not given things to do they will create their own adventure, be prepared and you will reduce disruption levels.

A less intrusive teacher action that is a precursor to curriculum interactions, it should not be seen or used as the first step towards a punitive interaction.

When we try to find work life balance, one is always gaining more attention and time than the other.

We may not get to choose the students who sit in our classrooms but we sure do get to choose the words that are the basis of the interaction we have with these students.

If we truly believe in education for all, our actions and interactions would aim to reduce the time students spend out of class. You can wrap withdrawal rooms up in any words you like, but they remove students from the learning. School disciplinary absences are the complete opposite of providing an education for all.

When we ask for students to behave in certain ways, we have a space between the behaviours they demonstrate and our interaction. This space is peripheral vision, it is the space between a stimulus and a response or reaction. Choose how you use this to enhance learning environments. To learn more about Caroline and her 4 Dimensions Framework, head to her website: https://carolineblackley....

If expectations are your platform then how do we set this platform up with success? What role does referring back to those expectations play in classroom environments and what is the difference between teacher actions in classrooms with more or less disruption?

Building a school culture means that we have ways of working both within our classrooms and outside them also.  How do you actively supervise, engage and interact with students, colleagues and others as you move through the school grounds?  What does active supervision of playground duty look like for you?
