The Leadership Beacon with Anne Kyle
Are you listening or are you labelling?
In this third episode we consider whether behaviour is a problem to be managed or if it is telling us something else.
In this episode you will learn:
- How to see beyond labels like “disruptive,” “defiant,” or “withdrawn”.
- Why reframing behaviour is key.
- How Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) can guide our understanding of what a student’s behaviour is really telling us.
- What our role as educators can be in relation to behaviour.
- The power of responding with empathy and what it will mean to a child or young person.
