#52: I had a strong why, but I was still a weak teacher. What it really took to develop my classroom management practice.

We are often told to go back to our 'why' as teachers when things get tough.  
My goodness is it important for us to have a strong purpose in a job like teaching, yet it certainly is no classroom management magic bullet.

Why, oh why, is a why not enough?

Because it takes FAR more to have a strong, compassionate, and calm approach to teaching. 

In this episode of The Unteachables Podcast, I take you through my own journey to demonstrate how even with the strongest why, without the proper support and strategy we can be left drowning in classroom behaviours and becoming the teacher we never envisioned being. 

I hope this episode serves as a comfort to new teachers and experienced teachers alike, and is validation that if you are finding classroom management hard, that is because it really is that hard. No matter who you are, and why you chose to be a teacher.
