Tell me if this sounds familiar, teacher friend...

You have struggled to get through even a minute of teacher-led instruction because of one student who is cutting you off at every turn.

It has a knock on effect, causing other students to become disengaged and dysregulated. You become increasingly frustrated, you address him, and you get a very loud response...

“Why are you talking to ME?!”

“Other students are talking too!”

“Go talk to them!”

When students struggle to take accountability for the behaviours that you see happen in front of your very eyes it can be incredibly frustrating . BECAUSE it is so frustrating, it can be even harder to stay calm and regulated, which we know is crucial when it comes to addressing these behaviours effectively.

That's why in this episode you will find some steps that will guide you through the process, and some clear prompts that you can use to take all the guess work out of it.
