Discussion for the overarching question.

Initially we discussed focusing on DMIC implementation and pedagogy to enhance our professional learning and practice. However we found disruptive behaviours exhibited by a few students were have a huge impact on our teaching and learning environment.  After a number of discussions, we felt that this would be a timely and worthwhile focus for both us and our learners.

Ideas we are pondering before we decide on our big question

·         Some of the school systems don’t work for these disruptive students i.e. steps

·         Role of incentives – why they work for some and not others

·         Knowing the child’s/whanau story

·         A deeper understanding of the research behind why these students act in this way

·         How best to engage them in their learning journey?

·         Friendships

·         Playtime

·         Transitions – within class, within collaborative learning spaces

·         Medication

·         Outside agencies

·         Turning negative attention into opportunities into positive attention
