Professional practice
4.3- Manage challenging
behaviour
I would like to extend
my knowledge of
effective strategies in
relation to managing
challenging behaviour.
-Work on a firm and
consistent approach to
classroom management.

I will know that I have

accomplished this goal
through feedback that
reflects achievement of
managing challenging
behaviour.
Furthermore, through
observing that all
students are listening
and are on task.

-Observing and
documenting the
supervising teachers
behaviour management
strategies.
-Communicating with
my supervising teacher
about how to manage
challenging behaviours.
-Receiving feedback
from my supervising
teaching about my
management of
challenging behaviour
and seeking any
suggested improvements
to this practice.

This goal is highly

significant for my career
as a teacher, as
managing challenging
behaviours in important
for the smooth running
of the classroom and
school learning
environment.
-Furthermore, managing
challenging behaviours
is crucial because if not
effectively managed, it
can impact on other
students and their
learning.

Again, this is an ongoing

goal. However, although
it is challenging focus
area, I hope to
strengthen this practice
throughout the
placement block.
