Female behaviour 'gurus'... LIST THEM!

As per title
.. I'm holding my breath here...!

Which one? Positivteacha? He seems very fragile on twitter.

I could listen to Tom Bennett’s lovely Scottish accent all day so I’m not sure if he’s arrogant or not.

I don't say Tom was arrogant , although there are plenty on Twitter who find him so.

Yes, the fragile one on Twitter...

piggy it has at least one chapter on behaviour that is excellent.

Jo Facer is an Ark Principal

“Impeccable behaviour will be ensured from day one at Soane, with children inducted into the school’s behaviour policy for one whole week at the start of year 7. A centralised detention system will support teachers to enforce high standards. Plenty of whole-staff training will ensure that teachers are as consistent as possible when applying sanctions, to ensure we can be completely fair to those in our care. Impeccable behaviour means teachers can focus on the most important thing: teaching their subject to children.”

It sounds like Jo Facer doesn’t expect teachers to be doing much behaviour management themselves (and rightly!).

Does her advice apply to beleaguered teachers expected to do everything themselves in a school obsessed with Dix?

Sorry, but her book left me cold ...

Why?

I just found it dull. She just wrote a whole book based around what she personally does and it was very much based on the in vogue knowledge curriculum. I was disappointed in it as I expected more, I think. Ages since I read it, mind.

Really interesting conversation here. We are Dix. I'm a HoD and spend a lot of time propping up my poor teachers who are wasting their precious breaks ' conversing'. More often than not the little dears font turn up for the cozy chat so then the process needs to reaoeat on a loop. When nobody's looking I opt for old fashioned bollocking. I'm tall and have a fierce Paddington style stare. Works!

In the past few years we’ve had 3 different behaviour people/guru types. Most recent was that pivotal/Dix shit.

Every single one was a male who clearly had a shit time as a school kid and then grew up to be a PE teacher. I’m sick of former PE teachers telling me how to do my job!!

Our behaviour lead is a male PE teacher too. Same in my last two schools.
Depressing...

Yep male pe teacher here as well...

We don't have a 'behaviour lead'.

Well we were told a member of SLT was 'taking the lead' but he conspicuously hasn't. He is a sport playing male but not a PE teacher.

All HOYS are now male. One is a PE teacher but he is actually the quietest of the bunch.
