One of the main issues teachers have in classrooms is the management of behaviour of their students. It has recently been noted that low level disruption (chatting, messing about and generally not getting on with the task in hand) is losing up to an hour a week from every child’s school time. What are the ways that teachers can maintain decorum in their classrooms?

1. Praise students who are doing the right thing – this often rubs off on the others.

2. Always challenge low level disruption – nip it in the bud and make a routine out of stopping it early.

3. Be consistent with your expectations – students like to feel secure in their classroom, and having a solid routine helps with this security.

4. Use rewards and sanctions to help encourage what you want – follow the school behaviour policy if there is one, and don’t be afraid to have your own expectations (consistently of course!)

Teaching, in general, is a difficult job with numerous special disappointments, but the rewards of teaching in the UK and elsewhere in Europe are endless. Today, many individuals are interested in looking for teaching jobs because to them, teaching is more than just imparting knowledge. Teachers cultivate imagination, develop character, and provide students with the skills they need to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives. A few more advantages, include:

Fulfill a Vocation, Not a Job

For many people, their work is a means to an end. They work for a paycheck in order to live their lives. However, those called to teach have a real vocation. To those with whom you interact most during your day of teaching – the students – you are not an employee, but a buddy, a coach and an overview of the world. A teacher makes a distinction in the world by allowing each of his/her students to totally optimize their talents, abilities, creativity, and character.

Many parents of children just starting school for the first time may not be aware that taking a child out of school for a holiday during school terms is definitely discouraged. Since September 1^st 2013, new government legislation means that headteachers are no longer able to authorise requests for a term time family holiday. Before this date, schools had discretion to authorise up to ten days absence for one family holiday during an academic school year. The reason behind this change was to improve pupil attendance across the whole country, There is a correlation between poor attendance and poor achievement in schools.

The new law states that requests for absence must be made in advance and that they can only be granted in “exceptional circumstances”. Taking a child out of school for a family holiday does not count as an “exceptional circumstance”.

Parents who do decide to take their children out of school, without having gained authorisation from their child’s headteacher, may be liable for a fine of up to £60 for each child who has missed school.
