ABSTRACT
The consolidation phase begins around the end of the first and beginning of the second term. By this stage, the class community has established a system of relationships and hierarchy. The majority of pupils will behave appropriately on the majority of occasions. Equally, those who have difficulty with behavioural learning or are otherwise motivated will have clearly identified themselves. We need to be careful to acknowledge the needs of both groups at this stage. We will be particularly aware of the latter group because of their contribution to our frustration and stress levels.
