TDA 2.9 Support Children and Young People’s Positive Behaviour
• AC2.1 Describe the benefits of encouraging and rewarding positive behaviour
It is important that the adult influences of the classroom recognise and praise the positive behaviour of individual pupils – especially those who struggle to maintain good behaviour and tend to be told off more than others. It is also essential to praise constant good behaviour (from pupils who never misbehave) to avoid the development inappropriate behaviour. Children respond to all kinds of positive praise.

Policies and procedures are enforced to ensure that the pupils understand what is expected of them and the boundaries and restrictions to
