| Summary: | This CPD video shows how the working relationship between a teacher and teaching assistant breaks down over the management of classroom behaviour.The dramatisation shows the real story of how a TA is verbally abused by a Year 6 pupil after challenging his disruptive behaviour. The class teacher refuses to accept the TA's account of the event and prevents her reporting the incident. Should the teacher be more supportive of his TA? Should the TA take up the matter with the head of Year? Is it the teacher's role, not the TA s, to enforce good behaviour in the classroom?Both protagonists ask the viewer directly whether their decisions are correct, inviting you to make comments and suggestions about the scenario.
This professional development video tells the story of a Year 11 pupil who snatches a knife from a food technology class, runs through the school and then threatens to cut her wrist.The dramatisation of real events shows how the teacher reacts instinctively and races after the student. Did the teacher place all the other students in her class in danger by leaving them unattended with knives? Is it a teacher's responsibility to restrain a pupil in this situation? Should there be checks and balances in place to prevent this type of scenario occuring?By asking the viewer directly whether she reacted correctly, the teacher offers the opportunity for you to comment on her decisions and reactions.
The video is designed to prompt debate amongst staff on how this issue should best be dealt with. Based on true events, the drama shows how the teacher suspects a girl of the chocolate bar theft, after she has found her behaving suspiciously in the cloakroom during break time. However, without proof, how should she approach the situation? Should she accuse the pupil she suspects? Is she right to punish the entire class until the guilty party admits to the theft?
