Episode Details
Back to Episodes#48: Should we be ‘letting things slide’ as teachers? Or should we be holding students accountable for every little challenging behaviour?
Description
Classroom management is nothing if not confusing. One of the things I have been told along the way is that we need to be picking our battles with behaviour. Another thing I have ALSO been told along the way is that we shouldn't be letting things slide. I have also given both of these pieces of advice at different times in my career.
So what do we do? Where do I stand?
Well the reality is that it is far more complicated than this.
Are you surprised?
As I always say, classroom management is incredibly nuanced, and there’s very rarely a black and white answer. However, in today’s episode, I do aim to provide you with a bit of clarity on what it means to balance rapport with addressing challenging behaviours.
