Behaviour Besties
Welcome to Behaviour Besties! You are officially part of the BBz club. AKA The staffroom you WANT to be a part of. I'm Jen Foster, best selling author of Behaviour: The Lost Modules, founder of TGMC: the online behaviour encylopedia and overall behaviour enthusiast. I am here with my besties and TGMC family Soph (Early Years Expert), Tan (Our TGMC SENCO) and Evie (TGMC rep and Merch Queen). It’s giving unhinged energy and we are here for it. One thing that I have noticed about behaviour? Whenever we are struggling with it. We suddenly feel and overwhelming sense that we are completely alone in this struggle. You are not alone. Expect REAL talk on all things behaviour. Real nitty gritty teacher experiences plus solutions that work. Expect rants, giggles and everything in between. So press play whilst you’re setting up your classroom in the morning, on your way to work, printing those TGMC resources or pouring your coffee. Either way, let’s hang BBZ.

Behaviour Besties Season 2 Episode 4: Suzy Reading
Welcome to Behaviour Besties SEASON 2! You are officially part of the BBz club. AKA The staffroom you WANT to be a part of. I'm Jen Foster, best selling author of Behaviour: The Lost Modules, founder of TGMC: the online behaviour encylopedia and overall behaviour enthusiast. In this episode I get the amazing opportunity to psychologist Suzy Reading.
Hello it’s Tan from the BB crew! I am so excited to welcome Suzy Reading to our Behaviour Besties Podcast. Suzy is a published author and a chartered psychologist. If you know and follow Suzy you will know how her gentle words and reminders always always come at the right time and for me, always feels like a huge hug after a difficult day. Suzy prioritises wellbeing & has made a huge difference for us in the teaching community, where let’s face it, it can feel like everything comes at us back to back and there isn’t much time to pause, process, plan or reflect. We really hope you enjoy this episode with Suzy and Jen & we promise that you will takeaway something new, comforting and reassuring by the end of the episode. So let’s get started on this journey together with Suzy
