John Bayley helps two KS3 teachers manage vocal, engaged students

Behaviour expert John Bayley recommends practical classroom-management techniques for handling the attention-seeking behaviour of bright, engaged students who tend to dominate lessons, in this pedagogy resource. Their behaviour can take up large proportions of a teacher's time, causing an adverse effect on the rest of the class. John focuses on three Year 9 pupils who dominate two teachers' classes at Bishop Stopford's School in Enfield. John works with secondary maths teacher Ben Pearce and Key Stage 3 geography teacher Rhys Jones. The teachers don't want to dampen the students' enthusiasm, but they do want to improve the teaching and learning experience for everyone in their lessons. They decide to try using the students' energy in more constructive ways - as leaders of group activities. But will it work?

Bayley creates behaviour strategies to help fidgety Year 7s learn

In this pedagogy resource, behaviour expert John Bayley identifies classroom-management strategies for working with generic students who perennially create problems in the classroom, even for the most talented of teachers. The video looks at two classes of lively Year 7s from separate north London Schools. The problem is that these secondary pupils are too fidgety and distracted to learn effectively. Working across both schools, John explores ways to reduce the problem, culminating in a lively class conference in which one of the teachers reviews all aspects of behaviour with her most fidgety class of Year 7s.

Bayley advises secondary teachers on quieter pupils' behaviour

Behaviour expert John Bayley provides practical classroom-management techniques to help two teachers unlock the hidden talents of some exceptionally quiet Year 9 pupils, in this pedagogy resource. Teachers can sometimes neglect quiet pupils because they don't disrupt the classroom. However, they shouldn't be overlooked and they often need attention to help them fully engage with lessons. To reach and engage the quieter secondary pupils, John works with geography teacher Sarah DeLooze and history teacher Adam Bishop at Turin Grove School in Salisbury. His challenge is to help them explore ways to encourage the pupils to open up, enjoy learning and participate more fully in lessons.
