1) Overall observation of classroom behaviour<\/h2>\n
Although there must be many ways that such a cooperative combination can do this, just four classroom behaviour strategies were listed. All of them are extremely practical.<\/p>\n
Teachers can\u2019t have their eyes everywhere and pupils are experts at hiding unacceptable behaviour in the class.<\/p>\n
Abigail Joachin (article author and an active higher-level teaching assistant) suggests that the teaching assistant (TA) sits quietly at the back of the classroom; particularly at the beginning of the lesson.<\/p>\n
After a few days of observation a debriefing can be held, to review matters such as the seating arrangements, pupil contribution and other pupil dynamics that can bring about positive behaviour changes.<\/p>\n
2) The \u201cGet On\u201d glare tactic<\/h2>\n
Just a well-placed scowl by a roving teaching assistant that says \u201cGet on with your work\u201d can create wonders without any verbal disruption whatsoever.<\/p>\n
The pupil(s) in question will quickly realise that ignoring the classroom assistant\u2019s silent intervention could bring unwelcome intervention by the teacher.<\/p>\n
3) Time for some inconspicuous Intervention<\/h2>\n
Sometimes pupils get involved in small incidents that if not dealt with immediately can escalate into something that disrupts the whole class.<\/p>\n
For example, if a TA spots a pupil chewing gum, just the silent but deliberate provision of a bin solves the minor misdemeanour without any interruption in the teaching process.<\/p>\n
4) Caring consolation in the classroom<\/h2>\n
Abigail Joachin uses the analogy that a pupil dissolving into tears can soon escalate into a Jeremy Kyle type show with lots of classmates offering advice or consolation.<\/p>\n
An empathetic teaching assistant can gently remove the child from the classroom and tackle the problem outside the learning environment, before it escalates into a mini drama.<\/p>\n
The article concluded by saying that the teacher\/TA partnership can only be effective if there is a positive working relationship between them, resolving any issues after the lesson rather than during it.<\/p>\n
