The Challenge of Aligning Teaching and Behaviour Management
Barry Fields.
The Productive Pedagogies construct has been particularly powerful and influential in defining what schools should be aiming to achieve in teaching and learning.
Interestingly, the Productive Pedagogies has as much to say about behaviour management as to does about teaching. This paper explores
the direction given to teachers, through the Productive Pedagogies, about their role in the classroom and how they should approach the task of teaching and managing student behaviour and
the difficulties that many teachers are experiencing in aligning their approach to behaviour management with current views about teaching and learning.
A new approach to teaching is reassembling familiar classroom techniques into a workable model that focuses on high quality student learning and improved outcomes.
