Math's and English attendance and punctuality is a key area for improvement.

Even if they come in, if they arrive 20 minutes late.

Generally attendance and being disruptive are linked attributes - so focus on the former and the latter will follow.

# data[].attributes.body
Having more of a consequence when they return. They need to know what the impact is. Almost like a 'back to work' interview. Give them what they missed, what are they going to do now to catch up?

Management upholding ABC procedure

- when students get to Stage 3, even though they can't progress to a higher level course, even behaviour doesn't improve it's difficult to move forward. Then, they tell each other that there's no consequences and others behave that way.

Toilet breaks, hangouts and taking phones.

Attendance maths and English - engaging with parents, checking they're in class - parents in at induction to discuss requirements and expectations across the course.

Low level chatter in large groups.

# data[].attributes.body
Keeping people in classrooms - toilet breaks as a way of avoiding lesson and us as teachers being put in a position where we don't know if it's true. Parents backing kids up.

Adult learners - not turning up which has knock on effect for rest of group in a practical setting, etc

Adult learners- talking during teaching lesson, has an effect on other learners, we need to set strategies and rules to improve rhus bad habit

Setting boundaries when a learner has picked up previous bad habits years before where boundaries have not been strong

Striking the balance between allowing electronic devices in the classroom for learning and learners using them for Snapchat etc or inappropriate use

# data[].attributes.body
rewards rather than punishments

Toilet breaks - timed as a group “beat the timer”

# data[].attributes.body
I will trial:

If a student is on time and work hard, they can leave a little early.

If a student is late, they will be kept for the full duration of the lesson.

I will know this has worked if punctuality increases.

# data[].attributes.body
PL newsletter with cause for celebration, updating parents with attendance, deadlines, holidays etc.

Toilet timers - give 4 minutes then time owed after

# data[].attributes.body
Use curriculum admin to call parents of learners who have had a good week.

Will get out the stickers again!

# data[].attributes.body
Improving attendance. Hand out attendance cards which states what the learner has missed and needs to catch up on. I will also create and share with my community a 'back to college' interview form that the learner needs to complete. This may show a pattern to lessons they miss, or reasons for why they are absent.

# data[].attributes.body
Liaising more with parents for updates either positive or negative engagement. But looking at other areas to improve outcomes for learning!

# data[].attributes.body
If attendance is poor or inconsistent, I will have a 1:1 chat with learner and filling out an attendance card. This will be communicated to tutors as well.

# data[].attributes.body
'Absence task' for students who are absent from lesson to catch up on work before returning to lesson. Tasks will be sent to both student and parent.

Log current attendance and compare to Xmas and Feb.

Has there been an increase in attendance?

I hope to see attendance increase as they will not want to complete the tasks at home.

(Level 1 only)

# data[].attributes.body
Reduce toilet break - allowing students to have 2 breaks per lesson.

Ready respect safe

Every morning and afternoon share the ground rules under this area. Students to participate by writing on the board. Agree an outcome if struggled with a particular area.

# data[].attributes.body
Attendance review meetings (5mins)

Learners to complete attendance feedback sheet as evidence.

I will track attendance % weekly

Hopefully, attendance will improve.

# data[].attributes.body
Improve maths and English attendance

I intend to go to the lessons that my group are in to check they are there, if not phone parents to get them on board. Review weekly and follow ABC if needed

# data[].attributes.body
Absence:

Class rules at start of sessions, as a reminder so it is in the front of their minds what their expectations are.

Rewards/certificates end of term.

How - will see attendance be higher for each learner and more consistent.

# data[].attributes.body
Accountability for absence to class through a conversation and attendance card outlining the work missed and where needed a piece of work they will take home to catch up on.

Need to look at consequence for a number of absences.

# data[].attributes.body
Bathroom breaks - ensuring they leave their phone in the classroom when going to bathroom or full water bottle to minimise time out of the classroom.

Recording frequency of bathroom breaks and amount of time spent at bathroom.

# data[].attributes.body
Ensuring active engagement (not on devices) and building confidence in actively participating.

- using different methods of encouraging feedback.

- activities that require each learner to contribute

- starting each day with a confidence building activity

- encourage activities that do not require devices.

I will know if it is working as students will have more confidence and will engage more in feeding back.

I will be able identify where learners are with the content I have taught

Timed toilet breaks

Close laptops in between research activities when talking

Have rules on first slide every session

Praise and reward those that are doing what they are supposed to do

Measure : student’s behaviour

# data[].attributes.body
Strategy: reinstate the use of sticker cards (attendance core, tut m&e, punctuality, conduct in lessons, performance). When 10 stickers are collected there's an opportunity to enter the pin prize draw each half term.

# data[].attributes.body
Use a newsletter to parents monthly celebrating success and events, deadlines, tutor contact.

Encourages parent involvement.

Encourages behaviour changes to get mentioned in the newsletter.

Strategy to use as Program Lead.

# data[].attributes.body
rewards to improve attendance and punctuation after breaks

# data[].attributes.body
Identifying which groups have the biggest issues with attendance and have open and honest conversations about college policies and what barriers people are facing

Monitor attendance for these groups once conversations have been had and track whether it improves etc

# data[].attributes.body
Strategy - agree rules with class and enforcement of them - outline consequences. Examples - bathroom breaks.

Measure the above - decrease in amount of times allowed or requested.

Corrective strategies

Always start with housekeeping rules in place at the beginning of the session like ready, respect and stay safe

1. 1-1 chat or verbal reminder

2. Waring or chat recorded on Promonitor

3. Change places so they don't sit with friends

4. Formal interventions put in place

5. After class have a Calm discussion, what happened? How can we fix this problem? Focus on reflection, repairing relationships rather than punishment

6. Involve support staff like LSA, behaviour mentors

# data[].attributes.body
I inform students of the college policy of 'no mobile use in class'. To make it seem less draconian, I have a 'frenemies or learning tools' policy. The students pick up on the bad connotations of frenemies and can't produce arguments for having them. The word itself highlights bad choices but focuses on the item being bad and not the student - it encourages them to make good decisions. I am consistent using this term, and eventually it changes their mindsets towards mobile usage.
