DESCRIPTION:

In this episode, Tem is joined by Lindsay Titus, a seasoned behaviour specialist, to discuss effective behaviour change practices that can rejuvenate teachers and transform classroom dynamics. Feeling defeated by challenging behaviours is common, but Lindsay provides practical advice to help teachers reclaim their confidence and sense of purpose. By focusing on self-care and personal mindset shifts, teachers can set the stage for a more positive classroom environment.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Identify if it is a behaviour you are looking to prevent or a behaviour you need to deal with there and then. The strategies will differ based on the context.
• Tie expectations to a value as this expresses the why behind the expectations.
• Include the student in the process of behaviour change.
• De-escalation techniques when dealing with student behaviour.

BEST MOMENTS:

"Behaviour change is something that takes daily practise"

"When you have that why behind it it's a lot stronger"

"Behaviour change starts with me"

"Not forgetting to celebrate the small wins"

"It's about that regulation process first...the most important part of that de-escalation process"
