S067 Repair & Rebuild

Consistency calibration (shared scripts + thresholds)

Aim (what it achieves)

Reduce teacher-to-teacher variation that drives SEND/PP sanction gaps.

When to use

Department/whole-school: when data shows big differences between classrooms.

How to use (steps)

Agree shared micro-scripts for common issues (start, silence, correction). Do brief coaching drop-ins focused on micro-moves, not blame.

Teacher language (examples)

“In this room: silence for instructions.” (common script)

Top tips (makes it work)

Keep it small (2–3 scripts); revisit each half-term; use supportive coaching.

Common pitfalls

Turning it into ‘gotcha’; creating huge script lists; ignoring context.

SEND/PP considerations

Consistency particularly protects vulnerable students who struggle with unpredictability.

Useful for these SEND needs

Why this strategy helps

  • Restores trust and readiness after incidents.
  • Clarifies language and participation pathways.

Universal SEND-friendly: Yes

SEND-targeted: No
