Our focus from day 1 of term 2 is knowing what success looks and sounds like. Learners have been encouraged to sit near peers who they deem to be successful so that they can observe successful behaviour and hear successful conversations. 

I noticed more learners being on task for longer periods of time. A few requests to leave the room were met with this statement "Does your request to leave the maths room right now sound like something successful learners would do?" That resulted in learners getting back on task working on their programme.
