Logging behaviour in My Classroom

My Classroom allows teachers to visually look up from the seating plan to see which students are involved in an incident or need to be awarded points. Behaviour can be logged on a student-by-student basis or by selecting multiple students and choosing an action.

You can’t assign detentions directly from My Classroom, but you can record behavioural incidents, which may trigger automatic detentions depending on how you’ve chosen to set up your behaviour incident workflows.

Permissions

• Student Profile: Behaviour: View All/My Students - View behaviour in My Classroom
• Student Profile: Behaviour Administer All/My Students - Use the Record behaviour button

If you don't have the permission, you'll need to ask your admin team to give you permission using these instructions.

Behaviour totals

For each student, you see numbers indicating the behaviour recorded for the pupil during the current lesson.

• Positive incidents and positive behaviour award points are added up in the green circle; 
• Negative incidents and behaviour award points are added up in the red circle
• Neutral incidents are tallied in the grey circle.

How the numbers are tallied

• Incident counts as one score point
• Behaviour award points are counted by their value 

For example, three 3-house points (positive) show 3 in the green circle, and a level-4 negative incident shows as 1 in the red circle.

Hover over a circle to see a tool tip with a breakdown of the number in a circle by the incidents and points awarded in the current lesson. Each point scale has its own number in the breakdown.

Logging points or incidents

For individual students

To record behaviour for a single student:

• Click the grey Record Behaviour button so it turns green
  
  
• Click on a student in the seating plan
• Select whether to log an incident or behaviour points (one option for each point scale)
  
  
• Use the search to find the incident or award type you need
• Select the behaviour type or point award reason, and value
  
• Fill in details like time of the incident/award, staff involved and a narrative (optional)
• Click Log
• (For Incidents only) Confirm who to assign the incident to and click Confirm actions

In bulk

To record behaviour for multiple students in one go in My Classroom:

• Click the grey Select multiple button, so it turns green

  
   

• Click the students so their seats turn blue or click Select all present to select all students

  
   

• Click the Record Behaviour button

• Select whether you want to log an incident or select the points scale you want to record points for
• Fill in the details on the pop-up
   
  • When logging an Incident, you can use the Create as separate events checkbox to log the incident for each student individually.
    
    
• Click Log
• For incidents, use the Actions for Logged Incidents to assign the incident to a staff member, assign behaviour points and/or assign a detention, then click Confirm actions.
  

Top Tip: Use the Clear button to remove all student selections in one go, rather than clicking them one by one.

Examples 

Incident logging

Below is an example of logging an incident. Your school may have identified some common behaviours, such as ‘Disruption in class’ or ‘Great contribution in class’, which will be shown first to you when logging an incident, but use the search to find any other behaviour type.

The actions available and who is assigned will depend on your school's behaviour setup.

The example:

Betty has not brought her biology homework to today's class. She is insistent that she did complete the assignment, but forgot to bring it in. School policy is to assign an incident for this and to assign this incident to their Head of Year. Dententions are not assigned for these incidents, nor is anyone notified, but staff can assign behaviour points for these types of incidents.

The steps:

1. No priority results for Homework incidents had been set, so, in the search, I typed 'home' to bring up behaviours related to Homework and selected No homework. 
2. I left the time as it was, so that it reflects the exact time of the incident
3. Staff involved is automatically set to the other staff member present and me
4. I added a narrative to explain the incident and added the note that the student had requested
5. Next, I clicked Log
   
   
    
6. On the next screen, I selected the Points Scale
7. The award amount
8. Assigned the incident to the Head of Year
9. Clicked Confirm actions to finalise

Points award

For the next example, I want to award two students because of the great questions they asked during today's lesson. Our school has two point scales set up, and per school policy, these points should be added to as Lesson Grade points, and a short narrative should be left. Because I was so impressed, I decided to award the students +3 points, rather than the standard +2 points for a Very Good Lesson Grade.

1. First, I clicked Select multiple
2. Next, I selected the two students so their seats turned blue
3. Then I click Record behaviour

4. And selected Lesson grade

   
    

5. I set the attribute to Very Good
6. Changed the point value to +3 using the select points dropdown
7. Left the time unchanged
8. Entered a Narrative
9. Clicked Log
