Prepare a report on the context and behaviour management approaches of two different schools in New South Wales, Australia. The report should address the following. · What are the theoretical underpinnings for the whole school’s policy/approach to management? How do they relate to the mission or values of the school? · What are the key features of the whole school and individual classroom teacher’s approach to management? Are National and other relevant policy requirements/frameworks/guidelines evident in the documented material (e.g., Australian Student Wellbeing Framework, Codes of Ethics, school and system legislative requirements)? · What strategies are there for inducting new staff into the policy and working effectively with colleagues, parents/carers, external professionals and community representatives? How are staff who are experiencing difficulties supported? · To what extent do the current management policies and practices support inclusive student participation, engagement and learning? Are there additional considerations required and how should these be incorporated? · The report should provide clear practical recommendations based on a review of literature and evidence for support of the existing policy and practices, or an alternative approach.

EDFD604 Investigation of Behavioural Management An effective school is one that addresses and manages the wellbeing of all students through the building of respectful relationships between the student and the teachers, and the teachers with the parents/wider community. In order for this to occur, schools require a set of guidelines as to what to do in certain situations, and how to manage the behaviour and wellbeing of the students; otherwise known as a behaviour management plan. By definition, a behaviour management plan is a guide that provides teachers with a series of actions to guide a child’s behaviour, (ECTARC, 2018). A behaviour management plan is developed by a group of educators who formulate it, in conjunction with the staff of the school, the parents and management. (ECTARC, 2018). The creation of an effective behavioural management plan allows for the development of a productive and manageable learning environment (Teaching Matters, 2018). Such plans are usually influenced by the ethos and values of the school, the policies referenced and the community environment where the school is situated. In the present report, the behaviour management approaches and context of two schools, School A and School B, will be investigated and compared, (Psych4Schools, 2011; Egeberg, McConney & Price, 2016). School A School A is an academically selective all-boys Secondary School whose vision is to develop and maintain a learning environment where the achieve excellence in all fields, with the added expectation that students are required to strive for their personal best within the ethical framework umbrella of integrity and responsibility. This vision is reinforced by a strong wellbeing system. School A states that it values respectful relationships with students, peers, staff and the wider community and supports the students’ social, academic/intellectual and creative endeavours by nurturing their passions as they develop, through broad curricula and diverse co-curricular activities, (School A website, 2018; School A Annual Report 2017). It appears that School A is influenced by the PBLS system as the school promotes three main values of respect, responsibility and integrity that penetrates all aspects of School A’s framework. This is consistent with the school’s vision and values because there is in concurrence with their claims, an active wellbeing program
