The Unteachables Podcast

I am sure you have heard this being said before, ‘don’t take it personally.. it isn’t about you’...Well, if you’ve ever been on the receiving end of incredibly personal, harsh, nasty student comments, you know that it is something that is so much easier said than done. This episode will unpack the truth in the ‘don’t take it personally’ advice, but ALSO give you the much needed knowledge and support to protect your peace and manage these really difficult moments in the classroom. In this episode, I talk about:The importance of recognising how HARD it is to not take things personally, and explain why this might be the case.How to create space between the behaviour you’re seeing in front of you, and the reaction, so you are able to respond in a more well considered and impactful way.Strategies to ACTUALLY de-personalise things that feel very personal indeed!How to get curious about behaviour: Not just that of our students, but our own, too!Download my free guide “10 Tiny (but mighty) Tips to Transform Your Teaching - https://view.flodesk.com/pages/62dc1deb87802ab6bcaf6015Check out my full training program That’ll Teach ‘Em.

Teacher well-being, or the lack thereof, is absolutely no joke. Teachers are leaving the profession in droves… and teachers are usually people who don’t join the profession on a whim to begin with, I’d say we usually have a pretty solid ‘why’. So what is going on here? I have a special guest Jodi also known as @thebusyteachersclub on Instagram, who is in the middle of launching her teacher well-being course, Ditch Burnout and Thrive.You can head to her Instagram for all of the details, or the following link: www.busyteachersclub.co.uk/ditchburnoutThe link to just jump straight in and enrol is: https://www.busyteachersclub.co.uk/offers/HQzxwx8aIn this episode, Jodi and myself have a great chat about:What is driving teachers to burnout? What does teacher wellbeing really mean? What would it take to address it in schools? And whose responsibility is it, really? Is it the schools? Leadership? The individual teacher? Download my free guide “10 Tiny (but mighty) Tips to Transform Your Teaching - https://view.flodesk.com/pages/62dc1deb87802ab6bcaf6015Check out my full training program That’ll Teach ‘Em.

Why are we always comparing ourselves? It is such a trap that we can all fall into as teachers, especially when we are simultaneously battling with imposter syndrome… If you’re a bit of an introvert, if you’re a bit awkward, if it takes you a while to warm up, if you don’t have the strongest ‘teacher voice’, that is OKAY! This episode will bust any preconceptions around what it takes to really lead a classroom, and teach you how to embrace your teacher personality no matter what type of person you are!In this episode, I talk about:Why having a quiet or introverted personality can be a super strength with classroom management.My best, most awkward, introverted, lovable friend, who also happens to be the most incredible educator. How SHE transformed her classroom culture.The 3 lessons you can learn from her and the strategies you can implement immediately in your classroom practice!Download my free guide “10 Tiny (but mighty) Tips to Transform Your Teaching - https://view.flodesk.com/pages/62dc1deb87802ab6bcaf6015Check out my full training program That’ll Teach ‘Em.

Today I am going to be talking about something that reallllly grinds my gears… when you have a really challenging class, a student who is displaying some really challenging behaviours, you’re at the very bottom of your goodie bag of teaching strategies, you go and seek some support, and the only thing that you seem to get back is something about needing to foster that relationship. Well.. it certainly is the core of our behaviour management approach, BUT, it isn’t the magic bullet. This episode will break it all down and give you some quick wins for starting to break down the toughest of barriers.My issue with the advice of building rapport with students who display challenging behaviourThe barriers to building a relationship with some studentsAttachment theory: Organised and disorganised attachment and the impact on building relationships.The importance of consistency and time - sticking with it!3 strategies for developing meaningful relationship and rapport with difficult to engage studentsHave a question, comment, or just want to say hello?
