Description

This week, I dive into Pillar 5 of "It's Never Just About the Behavior." In this episode, I emphasize the importance of clarity in your holistic classroom management approach, and provide practical strategies to ensure students understand and meet expectations.

Today I discuss:

  • The Importance of Clarity in Expectations:
  • Why clear communication is crucial for student success
  • How assumptions about student knowledge can lead to misunderstandings and a whole bunch of chaos
  • Get Ready, Get Set, Go Strategy: A step-by-step guide to delivering effective instructions
  • Examples of how to implement this strategy in various classroom scenarios

Today's episode is based on Pillar 5 of my book It's Never Just About the Behaviour: A holistic approach to classroom behaviour management

Leave me a review for the book and send me a screenshot and I will send you 13 posters of the beautiful illustrations to pop up in your staffroom or office! Thank you so much, your kind reviews mean so much and help me reach more educators!
