How can new teachers manage challenging behaviour?

Today's episode of 'Beyond Survival: The New Teacher podcast' is with Adele Bates. Adele was a teacher for over twenty years working in a range of different contexts. She now works with school leaders and staff to helps pupils with behavioural needs thrive in the classroom. She is the author of the brilliant book 'Miss I don't give a Sh*t', Engaging with Challenging Behaviour in Schools.' You can read more about her on her website: https://adelebateseducation.co.uk. 

In this episode we answer: how can new teachers manage challenging behaviour? 

I also ask Adele the following:

1.       What motivated you to write and focus on behaviour?

2.       What are some mistakes that teachers at the start of their career make with behaviour?

3.       What steps can teachers make to build positive relationships with all young people? 

4.       What can teachers do with individual students who are presenting challenging behaviour in lessons? 

5.       What can teachers do to manage their own self-care in schools, particularly in the face of challenging behaviour?

I hope you really enjoy the episode.  I don't use any social media anymore, so this podcast relies completely on audience support. Please do pass it on, recommend to others and follow the show to keep up with updates.
