BY POPULAR DEMAND: You can grab the task card template here!

Classroom management is more than just the behaviour, and dealing with low-level disruptive behaviours NEEDS to be more than this to be effective!

In this episode, I'll be exploring (well... more like nerding out on) a simple yet incredibly effective tool to help manage and reduce low-level behaviours in the classroom: the humble task card. I know, I know, but stay with me here.

Many factors contribute to disruptive behaviours, but by using task cards, you can provide clarity, structure, and support that helps students stay on task and reduce stress.

IN THIS EPISODE, I DISCUSS:

  • The common reasons behind low-level behaviours, such as students being in a fight, flight, or freeze state, lack of clarity, or low confidence.
  • How task cards can reduce these behaviours by providing clear expectations, breaking tasks into manageable steps, and offering scaffolding for students.
  • Key components of a well-presented task card, including success criteria, checklists, time frames, and prompts.
  • How task cards promote student autonomy and reduce teacher input while boosting engagement.
  • The benefits for both students and teachers when task cards are used effectively.
  • Resources and templates available for Behaviour Club members to easily implement task cards in their classrooms.

By the end of this episode, you'll understand how task cards can transform your classroom management and why they are such a game-changer in addressing low-level behaviours.
