Teachers are to get extra training to make them tougher with disruptive pupils

Teachers are being given more training to make them tougher with disruptive pupils amid evidence some are too soft.

The way trainee teachers are taught to deal with misbehaviour will become a focus of education watchdog Ofsted’s new inspection framework from next year.

This means universities which run teaching courses will have to place a far greater emphasis on the best ways to minimise bad behaviour in the classroom.

Ofsted said the shake-up will ‘make sure the next generation of teachers know the principles of behaviour management…and how to create an environment that focuses on learning’. 

The watchdog unveiled research which showed some schools are letting pupils get away with misbehaviour. 

It said: ‘The vast majority of those who do not behave can be taught to do so through explicit teaching and effective behaviour management. This group should not be confused with the minority of pupils with particular needs or life circumstances.

‘In some cases, we found evidence of teachers…defining this latter group too broadly and thus potentially undermining the consistency of their approach.’ 

Ofsted also called for schools to ’embed routines’, such as ensuring all children turn up to lessons on time. 

Education Secretary Gavin Williamson welcomed the Ofsted move, saying: ‘A single instance of bad behaviour, whether it’s messing around with a mobile or talking over the teacher, can disrupt learning for every child.’
