#77: 3 common pieces of behaviour advice teachers get that do more harm than good
1Description
In this episode, I’m diving into three common pieces of behaviour and classroom management advice that teachers are often given and why we need to stop offering them—at least in the way they’re typically presented.
These bits of advice are frequently thrown around without any meaningful support or practical steps, making them more harmful than helpful. I’ve heard them time and again from colleagues, experts, and social media, but the reality is that they’re often oversimplified and lacking real substance.
IN THIS EPISODE, I DISCUSS:
- Why “make your lesson more engaging” can set teachers up to fail without the right strategies
- The complexities of building student relationships and why it’s more than just “getting to know them”
- The challenges of “not taking it personally” and how to actually protect your peace in tough situations
- What advice we should be giving instead and how to better support teachers
