How to Quickly Improve Behaviour in Your School

This is a whole-school approach to building a positive working environment as well as helping develop positive relationships between all staff and students. It is based on the principle that individual students’ efforts often get overlooked – particularly in a large setting. The strategy ensures that even the smallest improvements made by a student are noticed and acknowledged, potentially by EVERY member of staff. It’s a fast-acting way to transform student behaviour. 

It's called The Staffroom Praise Board.

Here’s how you do it.

1. Assign an area of wall in the staffroom for the praise board. There should be room for five to ten A4 sheets and it should be an area which staff will see whenever they enter the staffroom. 
2. Each week, students are nominated for a place on the praise board (they aren’t told about this). Staff put forward a student and give reasons for their nomination. After a vote, a photo of each chosen student is put on the board together with a brief summary of why they have been chosen. 
3. The idea is that every member of staff will see this board regularly throughout the course of the week. When they next see one of the students from the board – either in the classroom, in the dinner queue or out on the yard - they can mention how impressed they are with the student’s achievement. Over the space of a week, a student will receive a huge amount of positive, and often much-needed, reinforcement with several members of staff acknowledging the same achievement. 

“Hey Jonny, I hear you were very good in maths this week. Well done mate, keep it up!” 

“Great work Jonny! A little bird told me you managed to get through a whole day without being sent out of a single lesson. Brilliant! Isn’t it better when you’re not getting detention every day?” 

Can you see how the Staffroom Praise Board will provide students with the recognition and attention they crave thereby improving their attitude towards school and learning?
