Reading time: 2 minutes

Changing rooms can be busy and crowded places, especially during peak times. It is important to be mindful of your behaviour in changing
rooms to promote a positive and respectful environment for everyone.

It is also important to ensure that your students know exactly what is expected of them when they are in the changing rooms. Young people can be rowdy and excitable during physical education so an element of composure should be ingrained within your setting.

Following a recent lesson observation, behaviour management was identified as a key strength of mine. More specifically, my ability to manage the behaviour of a number of ‘difficult’ Year 9 students in the classroom.

“You had them eating out of your hands! Some of the most difficult Year 9 students in the school, it was great to see!” were the comments I received from the Head of School.
