Providing a supportive environment and raising self-esteem

• Make space and time to listen to and talk to children about their interests and concerns.

• There are some classroom activities for raising pupils' self-esteem.

• Some good ideas for raising the self-esteem of staff can be found in Mosley (1993). For instance:
  
  - for staff meetings: use different rooms around the school - teachers formally inviting others to their room; have some meetings outside school, perhaps where good teas are served; ensure that non-teaching staff are at all meetings and draw up and stick to a set of 'golden rules';
  
  - in the staff room: agree basic ground rules - for example, talk to staff who may feel isolated, avoid using 'put-downs', avoid forming cliques, and make more effort to praise and support each other; set up a staff room committee; have a buffet lunch every fortnight for all staff, and coffee and cake for all staff on Fridays.
