In this episode, I reflect on my recent move from New Zealand to Australia and the unexpected lessons it reinforced about classroom management. Moving is always challenging, but relocating with a toddler highlighted the profound impact of predictability and structure on behaviour.

This experience reaffirmed a key classroom management principle: predictability is the brain’s best friend. I explore how structured routines, such as entry and exit procedures, transition cues, and scaffolding techniques, can help regulate behaviour and create a sense of safety in the classroom. Tune in for insights on how to proactively support students and foster a more predictable learning environment.

Listen in as I discuss:

The Impact of Predictability on Behaviour. How my toddler’s reaction to moving reinforced the need for structure in managing emotions and behaviour.
Classroom Routines as a Proactive Behaviour Strategy. Entry and exit routines, transition cues, and structured scaffolds that help mitigate dysregulation.
Practical Classroom Applications. How small changes, like consistency in expectations, can positively influence student behaviour and engagement.
