Helpful Choices for Learning
To support our pupil’s to successfully access the curriculum
To develop strategies to support pupils
Develop positive learning behaviours through a consistent approach
We have identified 12 ‘Helpful Choices for Learning’ that can be used in the classroom and wider school community to develop positive social skills, self-regulation and support children to engage in learning opportunities. We use the script of making Helping Choices for Learning so that the children begin to understand that these actions/behaviours will help them and that these are what staff are looking to see.
All 12 ‘helpful Choices for Learning’ can be applied to a variety of situations and scenarios but typically the following will be used for certain aspects of school life:
Learning
Examples of these would be Sentence Strips and Word Webs
Positive Social Interactions
Removing oneself from something tricky
The way in which we interact with others
Self-Regulation
Sharing a difficult feeling / experience
Removing oneself from something tricky
The things that help someone calm and stay calm
Looking after myself and wellbeing
