Who is the A Behaviour System poster for?
A Behaviour System belongs to the Education section rather than to a school year, because humanities is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning classroom practice can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the A Behaviour System poster?
Use it when the sanctions are severe, consistently applied and changing nothing. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so A Behaviour System belongs on the wall where that humanities work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
What other posters go with A Behaviour System?
Routines, Checking Understanding and Cutting Load In A Lesson sit alongside A Behaviour System in the Education section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.RoutinesChecking UnderstandingCutting Load In A Lesson
Is the A Behaviour System poster free to download and print?
Yes. A Behaviour System downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Education section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
What size does the A Behaviour System poster print at?
A Behaviour System is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of A Behaviour System loses nothing.Printing guide
