Welcome back to another episode of The Unteachables Podcast, teacher friends! Today I delve into the final chapter of my book, It's Never Just About the Behaviour. If you want to listen to this series from the start, head back to episode 65!

Yes, building relationships is important... but dang is it hard with some students! On today's episode I give you practical tips for building connections and establishing felt safety in the classroom, particularly with students who present with challenging behaviours. 

This episode highlights the crucial role that relationships play in effective classroom management and offers insights for creating a supportive and engaging learning environment.

I discuss:

  • The huge barriers that we can face when it comes to developing rapport with some students.
  • The concept of "felt safety" and its importance in building trust with students.
  • Strategies for establishing connections, including the two by ten strategy and catching the positive.
  • The importance of teacher wellbeing and creating supportive work environments for educators.
