Description

Behaviour management expert John Bayley advises a secondary science teacher on classroom management, in this pedagogy resource.

A particular problem is the pupils' short attention span, explains teacher Graham Coverdale. John observes a lesson and suggests that Graham use more positive language and encouragement to improve his pupils' behaviour at Brockworth Enterprise School.

John urges Graham to nurture the pupils' curiosity and to give clearer instructions. Graham still has doubts that his class lacks confidence but they discuss how he might vary the pace of his lesson to meet the needs of all his pupils.
