Get September Ready Masterclass Series: Classroom management webinar

DESCRIPTION:

In this episode, Tem shares practical classroom management strategies to help teachers start the new academic year with confidence, less overwhelm and a calmer, more productive classroom. She explains why establishing clear classroom rules, routines and high expectations from day one can create a safer learning environment, reduce low-level disruption and help students understand exactly what is expected of them. Tem explores how teachers can build positive student relationships while maintaining their authority and also shares practical strategies such as non-verbal behaviour management, tracking the speaker and the 3-2-1 focus countdown to regain students' attention without shouting. The episode also looks at how consistent classroom routines can support student wellbeing and teacher wellbeing, why publicly humiliating students should be avoided, and how calm, consistent behaviour management can reduce teacher exhaustion while helping students thrive.

“Students need boundaries because that helps them to feel safe. They need to know what to expect and what's expected of them.”

“Because when you are moving around the classroom, you're showing the student that this is my classroom, it's your classroom too, but I am the authority figure in the classroom.”

“The worst thing we can do is publicly humiliate them. The worst thing we can do is tell them off in front of everybody.”

“Instilling these rules in our lessons every single day consistently. Yes, that can be exhausting to an extent. However, in the long run, it's going to have a bigger impact on our students.”
