Relational Behavior Management

The guest on this week's episode is Oliver Cook. Ollie is an experienced teacher, who is currently a Pupil Support Leader in a school in Scotland (this is the equivalent of a pastoral role in other parts of the UK and further afield)

In this conversation we explore relational behaviour management, with practical tips for teachers to implement this style in their classrooms. Ollie also answers the following:

What is a relational approach to behaviour management?

What do you feel the strengths of taking this approach are? 

What advice might you give a teacher who finds it challenging to regulate their own emotions when managing behaviour? 

How do you feel a teacher could make a restorative conversation work with a young person? 

I hope you find it helpful, if you do please pass it on!
