In this episode, I delve into the pivotal role of felt safety in classrooms. You'll learn how to craft a climate of felt safety that hushes unpredictability and amplifies familiarity, helping students to stay calm and regulated, ultimately reducing and mitigating disruptive behaviors.

One game changer when it comes to increasing this consistency, is the humble seating plan. 
 
It's more than just curbing low-level disturbances; it's about offering students a consistent, predictable space that silently communicates expectations. 

Listen along as I give you a step by step walk through of why seating plans are so beneficial, and why increasing the predictability and consistency in your classroom is golden for a calm teaching and learning environment.
