Teaching

Promoting Appropriate Behaviour and Respect for others
Teaching What is appropriate behaviour of the teacher?

Teachers should lead by example and model good practice. If they demonstrate appropriate
behaviour, hopefully their learners and others will emulate this. Being a professional teacher
involves acting with integrity, behaving in the correct manner for the role, respecting others and
being fair and honest.

Teachers should also follow relevant organisational policies such as dress, timekeeping, and
codes of practice.

Examples of appropriate teacher behaviour include:
• adhering to relevant policies, procedures and codes of practice
Administration • arriving early to ensure the environment is appropriate

• being honest, reliable and trustworthy
• being organised and efficient
• challenging and managing inappropriate behaviour of others
• ensuring the learning environment is tidy, safe and suitable
• establishing routines
• liaising and working with others in a professional manner
• listening and responding effectively
• maintaining up to date records
• making fair decisions and giving developmental feedback
• not overstepping the boundaries of the teaching role
• preparing adequately for sessions
• reporting concerns
• respecting others
• returning marked work within agreed timescales
Lesson Plans • supporting learners as necessary
• remaining impartial in any disputes

• using a variety of inclusive teaching and learning approaches

What is appropriate behaviour of learners?

Learners should demonstrate appropriate behaviour when they are attending sessions, not only
to their peers, but to the teacher and others in the organisation.

• adhering to the ground rules
• arriving on time
• being polite to others
• bringing the correct items to sessions
• not acting inappropriately
Handouts • not using electronic devices during sessions
• not swearing, bullying or belittling others

• submitting work on time
