Beenyup Primary uses behavioural and organisational routines across Kindy to Year 6 to reduce cognitive load for students, enhance teaching and learning time and to support an orderly learning environment. Two routines which we use are SHARP lines when moving through the school and SLANT listening.
As part of our whole school AVID approach, we move around the school in an orderly manner in SHARP lines. SHARP stands for:
Straight lines
Hands by side
Attention to the front
Respect to others
Personal space
As part of our whole school AVID approach, we use the term ‘SLANT’ to prompt students to focus when someone is speaking. SLANT stands for:
S Sit up
L Lean forward
A Ask questions
N Nod your head
T -Talk to the teachers
-Track your eyes
-Take notes
