How can we improve children’s behaviour and attitude in our schools?
I have worked in the schools in England as a supply teacher for the past six years.
When I came across this article from the BBC news (see below) ‘Ofsted tells schools to crack down on classroom disruption’ I couldn’t help but agree that many lessons are interrupted by low level disruptive behaviour.
Too many classrooms in England are being disrupted by minor disruption and bad behaviour, warns the head of the education watchdog Ofsted.
Launching Ofsted’s annual report, chief inspector Sir Michael Wilshaw warns of a “sloppy culture” of noisy corridors and pupils answering back to teachers. 
Sir Michael also described the scale of regional differences in school standards as being like “two nations”.
But what is the answer to this issue?
I believe that teaching children social and emotional skills as early as possible would go a long way to solving this problem.
They would learn:
o How to be responsible for and manage their own feelings and not take out their anger and frustration on others who are not to blame
o The benefits of treating others with respect and fairness as they would like to be treated themselves.
o How to get more out of life using healthy communication skills and how to improve their social interaction
If you agree with the suggestions and comments and you are a teacher or a parent or are working with children in any capacity and you wish to support them in improving their communication skills then you may be interested in our resources and/or e-training courses.
Our online courses can be accessed from anywhere in the world!
All you need for this course is internet access, an interest in

We will tailor the training schedule to suit your individual needs.
On enrolment you will be provided with the full set of Programs and Resources to enable you to deliver between 8-10 sessions of Emotional and Social Skills well-being to groups of young children (primary school age).
