Develop a positive and professional relationship with all Learners

I hope to develop a positive, yet professional relationships with all the children in the class. I need for them to be aware that I am not their friend. I do however want to create a trusting relationship with the pupils and ensure that they feel comfortable around me and are not afraid to ask for help.

Behaviour Management

My goal is to learn different strategies of copying with challenging behaviour and to observe and speak to the class teacher to see how she deals with challenging behaviour and notice the signs that show the pupils are getting distracted and starting to misbehave. Also to learn not to instantly raise my voice when pupils misbehaviour and to use the correct strategy which the school promotes.
