45: Are you classroom managing like a fist, or a palm? A game-changing metaphor that will shape the way you approach behaviour in the heat of the moment

In today’s episode, I am going to be giving you a visual metaphor to approaching challenging classroom behaviour that can be a game changer.  This is something that I was taught way back in my first year of teaching and it has stuck with me ever since. It is one of the things that started to really build my own classroom management approach to what it is today. I use it in my own classroom, I discuss this over the table with my own staff,  I have presented this to different schools, I embed it in my online courses, and today, I will be sharing it with you. As the first episode of 2024, I will also be giving you a bit of an overview of all of the exciting things happening  here at The Unteachables Academy, including the release of my first ever book!
