Today I am joined on the podcast with Em Gentle, a graduate teacher mentor, fellow edu-podcaster, and founder of the grad guide where she supports new teachers adopt a trauma informed approach to teaching. 

In today’s episode we go on all the rants including:

• What teachers should be taught in teacher preparation programs before entering the profession
• Our 'inherited' classroom management and teacher guilt around it
• What a trauma informed approach looks like in action
• What we see new teachers struggle with the most (self-doubt, overwhelm, a lack of behaviour support) and
• What things we would recommend for new teachers to know and do with their classroom management and teaching and learning.

Although new teachers are definitely the focus for this episode, it is just as valuable for all teachers.

After all, it is simply about great teaching.
