Guest Speaker

The Guest speaker today was ver inspiring as it taught me the importance of using, modelling and practicing good behaviour before it can become problematic behaviour. It is very true that once children are taught to follow proper procedures, they very rarely go against it because its what they have bee taught. I remember in my classes always hearing the "if you" statements and it always gave people the permission to do something wrong but with the knowledge that they would be punished for it. Thus, class management starts with modelling appropriate behaviour and teaching children not the wrong behaviours but the right behaviours FIRST.
