For my teaching inquiry this year I am asking the question: How can I foster the prosocial behaviour of my students?
My target group is made up of 7 students, 5 boys and 2 girls. Each of these children struggle to demonstrate prosocial behaviours such as, following our school and class rules, helping and expressing empathy towards others. I find myself spending too much time and energy addressing their antisocial behaviours. It is time consuming and draining and not fair on the others in the class. My hope is that I can establish some protocols, or put some systems in place that will help develop their prosocial skills, which in-turn, will create an environment that is more conducive to learning for everyone in the class. Growling doesn't appear to be working so I need to change my approach. Watch this space.
