Is it possible that being too friendly is harming your classroom management efforts?

No.

Okay, maybe a little, but not in the way you think.

Does the below resonate?

You feel like you have a really great relationship with your students, but when it is time to get to the business side of things and get some serious work done, the energy is high, they aren’t really listening to you, they might be calling out and having a chit chat during instruction?

Maybe this is leaving you feeling a little disrespected and deflated? After all, you have a fab relationship with them, but they don't seem to be taking you seriously!

Maybe you are feeling that pressure to be more stern and strict but you don't know how to do that in a way that aligns with your values?

PLEASE KNOW FIRST UP... This is NOT because they don't RESPECT you!!

So what is the problem?

That is what I cover in this week's episode:

• What is the credible and approachable teaching personas?
• How can we craft this into the day to day?
• What does it look like in practice? 
• How this can be a game changer for our teaching practice and classroom management!
