Understanding the importance of routines and how we can embed these to establish positive behaviour for learning.

About this module

This module highlights the importance of routines within the classroom and school environment. We begin by laying the foundations - what are routines, why are they important and where we see them within the educational context. We go on to explore how they support the behaviour and therefore the learning of pupils. Session 2 explores some practical strategies you can use to embed routines. This session is designed to give you some key, practical takeaways that you can implement in your classroom immediately.

This module is suitable for trainee teachers, ECTs and those wishing to improve their behaviour management skills, or hit the reset button on that troublesome class!
