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.

Welcome to your mini training series all about ROUTINES. In this season we are getting GRANULAR on what we were never actually taught but has a significant impact to the start of the year and classroom management ALL YEAR LONG.
In this episode, the Besties practical strategies for managing EFFECTIVE classroom transitions. We discuss the common challenges teachers face during transitions and introduce tested methods like the '1-2-3' technique, gradual start and stop, using timers, and incorporating role-play to maintain smooth transitions. We also emphasise the importance of minimal verbal instructions and adaptability to meet the needs of all students. The session concludes with a roundup of discussed strategies and a reminder to approach transitions with patience and care.
