Some positive guidance in here for @leicesterscitt trainees, although I am not sure that I recommend it all.
Be careful not to get drawn into a protracted discussion around behaviour & also utilise your relationship with your mentor. https://neu.org.uk/advice/behaviour-tips-trainee-teachers

- Know the school policy & what your mentor/class teacher has set with the class
- set clear expectations for behaviour - actually teach these (like a curriculum) & reinforce them regulalry
- be consistent and follow through (but explore the reasons behind the behaviour)

@tombennett71 talks about 3 types of behaviours:
- behaviours they CAN'T not choose to do (eg a student with Tourette's syndrome calling out)
- behaviours that are hard to change (cultural expectations- things they are raised to belive/do)
- behaviours that are easy to change
- behaviours they CAN'T not choose to do (eg a student with Tourette's syndrome calling out)

In fact, make @tombennett71's book 'Running the Room', one of your must reads!!
