In this episode, I was delighted to be joined by educational management consultant and lecturer Flo Besse, and deputy head of The Outdoors School, Jon Breeze. We met to talk about the rather heavy topic of 'behaviour'. We discussed what we mean when we talk about behaviour and the mainstream approaches to managing behaviour and behaviour policies. We talked about why punitive and tariff-based behaviour policies don't tend to work and proposed a radical alternative, that we use ourselves at The Outdoors School. We discussed adults applying their own biases to behaviour and talked about treating children in a more understanding way, supporting them with any behaviours that might be having negative impacts on themselves and those around them, rather than applying a punishment that doesn't get to the root cause behind the behaviour. It was such an interesting discussion and one we really enjoyed having - we hope you find it an engaging and useful conversation to listen to!
