"The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards..." Anatole France
"In order to teach the ‘what’ and enable the ‘how’, you need to manage the ‘who’; this requires planning for your students and their behaviour, alongside your lesson planning." (Coat of Many Pockets. Jenny Mackay. 2006. p. 4)
Be proactive - always work to prevent misbehaviour and its escalation. Plan for behaviour - for both the classroom and individual students. Be positive - hold and convey positive expectations; catch them doing it right Be persistent - changing behaviour is not easy; there will be resistance, so stick with your goal . (Coat of Many Pockets. Jenny Mackay. 2006. p. xvii)
