Behaviour and Respect 

These resources support tutors to promote positive learning environments in the classroom and on campus. 

The first two video resources are tutor-facing and cover the ‘Role of the tutor’ and ‘Strategies and techniques’ that may be useful. 

These are supported by the Registry’s ‘Behaviour Management‘ resource below.

Role of the Lecturer

The following short video will introduce you to how the role of a Lecturer ties in with student behaviour.

It will then provide a reminder of the university procedures relating to behaviour and introduce some simple but effective tips that you can be implemented within and outside of sessions.

Strategies and Techniques

The following short video will provide some insight into some of the techniques and strategies that could start to be implemented.

It will look at strategies which refocus behaviour and some techniques to promote the correct behaviour. It will also provide another reminder of the key strategies to follow.

A Word version of these strategies and techniques is also available.
