  10. 3) Behaviour Management General • Students enrolled in summer school are generally well behaved and there are rarely any behavioural issues. • Important to structure programs to prevent behaviour management issues through engaging students in meaningful & stimulating activities • Administrative processes – roll marking, legal requirements, duty of care etc. • Establish a clear set of parameters from the start. • Be firm, fair and consistent with expectations of behaviour. • Seek to establish a responsible adult orientated learning environment.
