Clare discusses behaviour and the importance of consistency with expert guest, Jack Taylor.
Jack is an Assistant Principal in a London Secondary School. He has worked in developing behaviour systems in his school and now leads on raising standards. He is part of the school’s safeguarding team and is a drama specialist.
In this episode, Jack recommends the book, Leaders Eat Last, by Simon Sinek. You can find the book here.
Jack also shares three top tips with us:
- Be consistent: If you say you are going to do something, you should stick to it.
- Follow the policies: They are created for us, so our job is to make sure we all use them. If we don’t, we only make ours and others' lives more difficult.
- Begin each day and lesson with a fresh start: It’s hard to not let outside factors affect our work. Sometimes, you have a bad day at work but it’s important to leave that behind and focus on starting the new day with a fresh perspective.
My Family Coach is a podcast about factors that influence behaviour in education, all in handy 15 minute (ish) bite-sized chunks. Each episode features a new guest chatting about a different aspect of behaviour and leaves you with three handy tips on behaviour.
