Unit 301
Learning outcome
2.5
You are supporting a science lesson in a Year 9 classroom. There has been some light- hearted banter amongst the learners re the forthcoming school prom. You have intervened in a friendly way but the general chat has continued and as it hasn’t seemed to have affected their work – you have ignored it. When the lesson ends you are going towards the next class when you see that two of the learners are shouting abuse at each other. When you ask them what is wrong, one of them turns on you and shouts for you ‘to mind your own business!’
Action to take
I would approach the two learners, explain to them that their behaviour was unacceptable. We do not shout at each other or speak disrespectfully to any adult in school. I would further explain that I had given them a gentle warning to stop their conversations earlier in class but they had failed to take notice which has now resulted in a more serious incident. I would then have to refer both learners to their Phase Leader who would decide what action should be taken. An incident of this nature has to be dealt with by a member of the Senior Leadership Team because it is viewed as ‘Serious and deliberate’ in line with the Heronsgate Schools Behaviour Management Policy.
