Teacher Talk: Challenging negative self-talk

This episode is this week's 'Teacher Talk': a fifteen minute talk that explores an important aspect of classroom practice, with practical strategies for implementing it in your classroom.

This talk is an extract from my book 'Teacher Resilience: Managing stress and anxiety to thrive in the classroom', which came out three years ago this week. The chapter is called 'Self-Talk' and the extract focusses on how to work against negative internal talk. It gives a range of practical strategies to apply. 

I hope you find it helpful and supportive in your classroom. Any feedback on how to improve these talks, or areas you would like me to explore, is always much appreciated.

As always, please do pass this on to anyone else who you think might find it helpful and supportive. Please contact me on Twitter @teachgratitude1. You can listen to the Well Teacher podcast which I mention in the episode here.
