Get September Ready Masterclass Series: De-escalation In The Moment Webinar

DESCRIPTION:

In this episode of Helping Teachers Thrive, Tem shares clear strategies for staying regulated and responding effectively when a situation starts to heat up, helping you to reduce panic, and giving you reliable options you can use straight away. Tem also discusses how teachers can make a strong first impression with students and explains why students need boundaries to feel safe, how teachers can handle moments of uncertainty or vulnerability, and why building strong relationships makes it easier to be authentic with students. The episode also highlights the importance of focusing on one practical strategy at a time, rather than becoming overwhelmed by trying to change everything at once.

If you'd like to listen to the Q&A session at the end of the webinar, head on over to The Helping Teachers Thrive Hub where you will be able to access to full recording (link is in the valuable resources section below).
