This week Clare Edmondson (founder of Changing Behaviour UK LTD, SEMH/SEN specialist, leader and teacher) Chats to Jack Taylor about behaviour and consistency.

About Jack Taylor in his words:

" I am an Assistant Principal in a West London school. For the past 3 years my role was focused on behaviour, systems and structures, but this year I have moved to Raising Standards Leader. I am a Drama specialist and also play a role within the Safeguarding Team."

Jack is currently reading: Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek but next on my list is ‘When the Adults Change, Everything Changes’ by Paul Dix, as I have heard it is very good!

Jack's top tips on consistency:

1. Be consistent at all times. If you say you’re going to phone home, phone home.
2. If you have a bad lesson or day with a particular class or student, you must let it go and treat the next time you see them as a fresh start.
3. Follow the policies. They are created for us, so our job is to make sure we all use them. If we don’t, we only make ours and others lives more difficult.
