U1 AC 2.2 – Why is it important to promote acceptable behaviour and respect for

others?
Behaving appropriately and respectfully is about interacting with others in a way
that is accepting and doesn’t lower their confidence. The teacher should be
honest, reliable and trustworthy and lead by example. A teacher needs to listen to
other’s points of view and demonstrate that they value others opinions.
By doing this, learners feel accepted and valued and are much more likely to
participate fully in the lessons as they will not be in fear of being judged.
They will be prepared to listen to others and develop an atmosphere of mutual

respect and encouragement where everyone can thrive, it will generally;
➢ Promote a safe and secure environment which is conducive to learning
➢ Encourage good behaviour
➢ Maintain discipline and promote self-discipline and regulate the learners
conduct
➢ Helps develop social skills and interaction with peers.
