You’re not failing at behaviour because you’re “just not cut out for it.” And no, it’s not because you don’t have that magic voice or commanding presence either. The truth? Most of us simply weren’t taught how to manage behaviour effectively. And it shows – not because we’re not trying hard enough, but because no one gave us the tools to begin with.
In this episode, I’m taking you right back to where it all began for me: the whopping 20 minutes of behaviour training I received across two degrees, and how it left me wildly unprepared for what came next. From sinking in my first classroom to swimming thanks to exceptional mentors, I’m sharing what made the biggest difference – and how you can find the same transformation.
IN THIS EPISODE, I DISCUSS:
- Why your struggles with behaviour are absolutely not your fault
- A behind-the-scenes story from my first chaotic solo lesson (yes, there were flying keyboards)
- How real, effective classroom management support turned things around for me
- What “The Confident Classroom Pathway” is – and how it can help you feel calm, in control, and confident
Classroom management doesn’t have to feel like constant firefighting. The right support – practical, actionable, evidence-based – can change everything. That’s why I created The Confident Classroom Pathway, a free training based on all the gold I’ve learnt over the years from some of the best mentors and trainings around.
If you’ve been on the fence about learning with me, this is the perfect place to start. Head to the-unteachables.com/learn to sign up for one of the two sessions – they’re free, fun, and packed with stuff people told me they would’ve paid for. I would love to see you there.
And remember – if behaviour feels tough… it’s because it is.
But it doesn’t have to stay that way. You’ve got this. 💛
