#83: How to craft a strong teaching presence that transforms those constant low-level disruptions (almost like flipping a switch, no exaggeration!)


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m diving into one of THE most transformative strategies for managing low-level disruptions—almost like flipping a switch. I'll explore how your teaching presence, especially through non-verbal communication, can significantly shift classroom behaviour. It’s not about doing one thing—it’s about everything you do.

Listen in as I discuss:

  • What even is a strong teaching presence?
  • Understanding the power of non-verbal communication in classroom management
  • The difference between "credible" and "approachable" teacher presence and when to use each
  • How small changes in body language, tone, and stillness can immediately impact behavior
  • Practical examples of adjusting your teaching style for better student engagement
  • The importance of aligning your body language with the expectations you set for students

This episode is packed with actionable strategies that can transform how you manage your classroom. If you’re tired of the constant chatter and low-level disruptions, listen in as I share the non-verbal techniques that changed everything for me—and they can for you too!
