The Government's behaviour advisor, Sir Alan Steer, talks to Mike Baker about strategies to improve behaviour in schools.
Sir Alan Steer explains that there is no single key to good behaviour but fluid practice, shared between primary and secondary schools.
Using seating plans, diagnosing children with special needs and a good support system for pupils and staff, is very important. He also talks about the necessity of a teaching and learning policy.
Sir Alan published a series of reports on pupil behaviour, culminating in "Learning Behaviour: Lessons Learned in April 2009".
