Season 5
Episode 67
Claire English
Welcome to today's episode where I dive deep into Pillar 3 of my upcoming book, "It's Never Just About the Behaviour."
This pillar focuses on the importance of compassion in classroom management, but not in the way you might expect.
I will explore actionable, compassionate pedagogy that moves beyond traditional exclusionary practices.
In this episode, I cover:
- How my challenging school experience shaped my teaching philosophy and the struggle of becoming the teacher I didn’t want to be and how I overcame it.
- Differentiating discipline from punishment and consequences.
- Steps to engage in meaningful conversations with students, and the importance of suitable consequences that follow Jane Nelson's three Rs of logical consequences: related, respectful, and reasonable.
- Why being compassionate in classroom management means more than just being kind; it's about equipping ourselves with effective, value-driven strategies.
