Episode 44

TW: Some references to self-harm.

How has the UK education system been designed? With up-to-date data on the nature of learning in mind? Or based on the outdated policies of the past? We'll let you take a wild guess. Adele Bates, an esteemed behaviour and educational specialist teacher and author, shares her expertise with us on current antiquated behavioural policies and how we can change them.

This is a fascinating, illuminating, and hopeful discussion. We discuss so much: insufficient funding and training in schools, relationship-based approaches to behavioural policies, the trauma of isolation, and tailoring our classrooms to the behaviour needs of students.

Adele also shares priceless tips on fostering trust and connection with students, and we touch upon her book, "Miss, I Don't Give A Sh*t", and its emphasis on challenging behaviour in school. This episode serves as a crucial guide for anyone wanting to foster a supportive and understanding atmosphere in their educational environment.
