What if the fastest way to help kids learn is to stop rushing their growth? In this episode, we sit down with Catherine Korah from the Centre of Excellence for Behaviour Management to unpack a deceptively simple idea: when children feel secure with adults and have space for real play, learning and maturity emerge naturally.We explore what true play actually looks like, why well-intentioned praise and goals can shut down creativity, and how protecting unstructured play primes the brain for later academic success. The conversation turns candid on screens, post-pandemic stress, and phone bans—why removing devices without replacing connection leaves a void, and what humane alternatives really work.Grounded, hopeful, and practical, this episode offers language, confidence, and next steps for educators and parents navigating behaviour with care, patience, and trust.

We do not need a 'free from' diet when it comes to providing young children with emotional wellbeing and support. In the early years children need a safe space to experience, articulate, and process emotions – there is no such thing as a 'bad emotion'; they all have their role to play. Behaviour and emotional regulation coach Samantha Dholakia talks us through why children need the full ‘emotional diet'.

John explores a range of topics with this special guest this week; Mahnaz Siddiqui.
There's so much more to classroom management than student behaviour. Managing the classroom so it flows like a well oiled machine requires us to look at ourselves, our environment and our student's behaviour. Today is a short episode explaining some of the reasons why I like to teach educators about the power of classroom management. Today I chat about: Why I don't teach behaviour management The low down on rewards and consequences and why I don't use them How our belief systems, the way we were parented and society impacts the way we see behaviour Why we need to get to the root cause of behaviour
In this episode, Erica and I talk about our upcoming CPD on Positive Behaviour Management (https://katelanguages.co.uk/product/positive-behaviour-management-with-erica-sanchez-online-cpd/).The conversation was originally an Insta Live, so apologies for the sound quality, which isn't as good as my usual podcasts! Even if you're too late to join us for the CPD, I still think this episode is well worth a listen, as Erica has some great tips and ideas on how to develop positive relationships with your students, which ultimately leads to more settled classes, better progress and less stress for everyone!Music is from Pixabay by Coma-Media
On this week's episode I am going to be talking about the entire narrative around behaviour management that is getting teachers stuck in PURE survival mode. It is a trap!And what is the trap?Seeing behaviour management is solely that. Behaviour management. Just about responding to and addressing behaviour.It keeps teachers in a viscous never-ending cycle. Particularly with low level behaviours that can't necessarily be resolved by doing anything about every little frustrating micromoment.It isn't getting down into those mechanics. It's not asking the right questions because what the hell do we ask anyway. It is seeing resolving behaviour as a reactionary task.And it is not really doing what we need to do... what we really need to do to effectively manage behaviours is weave classroom management into every single fibre of what we do pedagogically as teachers.Because, my friends, it is so much more than just the behaviour.This episode, I am going to be giving you 3 examples of proactively classroom management that will support you to shift some of those challenging behaviours.

In episode 2 of the Well-Led Schools podcast, school wellbeing consultant, Adrienne Hornby is joined by school principal, Rob Lans for a lively chat surrounding the relationship between student behaviour management and staff and student wellbeing. With many staff across schools reporting student behaviour as one of their top stressors, it's only fitting that we address the link between the two. Rob Lans is school principal and expert in student and behaviour management. Early in his teaching career, Rob's passion for outdoor education found him searching for ways to engage students and build deeper connections through the natural environment. After honing his skills in a Student Services role, Rob stepped into the ACT Education Department, where he worked with numerous schools supporting leaders, teachers and staff with student behaviours. Here, he took a diagnostic approach to understanding what students were communicating through their behaviours and worked side-by-side with schools to develop systems and processes for student management. In 2015, he transitioned back into schools as a Deputy Principal and now as a School Principal in the ACT. One of the most important takeaways from this episode is that when we provide teachers with a systemised approach to managing classroom behaviours, plus opportunities to develop their confidence and student behaviour management skills, they can build better connections with students which, in turn, supports the students' wellbeing and improves their learning outcomes. In this episode we cover: - The growing challenges experienced by schools and their potential causes - The value of connection to influence student management and academic engagement - The common mistakes that schools make when it comes to attending to student behaviors and how this could be affecting staff wellbeing - The importance of processes, systems and universal school approaches to student management achieved with the buy in of staff, students and community - How we as leaders can best support our staff to feel involved, safe, effective when managing student behaviours and like their wellbeing matters Links and Resources: Positive Behaviours for Learning: https://education.nsw.gov.au/student-wellbeing/attendance-behaviour-and-engagement/positive-behaviour-for-learning/what-is-positive-behaviour-for-learning-pbl Anonymous Staff Wellbeing Surveys: https://adriennehornby.com.au/staff-wellbeing-surveys/ Well-Led Schools Partnership Program: https://adriennehornby.com.au/school-partnerships/ Get in contact with us to hear about support options for student behaviour and staff wellbeing: Email hello@adriennehornby.com.au Thank you so much for listening.

Each year, in our Teacher survey, we ask readers and listeners what they'd like more information on in the coming 12 months. In the 2022 survey, lots of you said you'd like more support on the issue of bullying in schools, prevention and intervention strategies, and related school policies. In a recent 2-part Q&A with Dr Kristin Reimer, we unpacked the framework of Restorative Justice and looked at how it can operate in a school context. In this episode of our Behaviour Management podcast series, we're delighted that our guest is Professor Ken Rigby – Adjunct Professor at the University of South Australia and a leading international researcher in the area of bullying in schools. Over the course of the next 35 minutes we'll be talking about changes over the last 20 years in the way schools have understood and dealt with bullying, what incidents may look like in different age groups, signs for teachers to be on the lookout for, and elements of a school anti-bullying policy. Professor Rigby will also be unpacking his latest piece of work – called the Comprehensive Bullying Model. Host: Jo Earp Guest: Ken Rigby

At Teacher, we are often asked for more resources and information on behaviour management. In the latest episode in our Behaviour Management series, we spoke with Senior Lecturer and Course Leader for the Master of Applied Behaviour Analysis at Monash University, Dr Erin Leif, and Russell Fox, Lecturer in Behaviour Analysis, also from Monash University. They join us again in this episode, but this time, it's to answer your questions that you submitted. We asked for these questions in our weekly Teacher bulletin, which is a free subscription you can sign up for at our website, teachermagazine.com. In this episode, we're going to delve into the link between positive behaviour support and academic learning; how positive behaviour support can be integrated with the principles of trauma-informed practice; and how we can upskill other members of the school community to help us in this area. Let's jump in. Guests: Dr Erin Leif and Russell Fox Host: Dominique Russell

As a teacher, how can you best manage when a student in your classroom makes an inappropriate comment in the middle of the lesson, catching you off-guard and disrupting other students too? What about when this behaviour happens in the playground? And, what if the comments that they're making are offensive? In this episode of Behaviour Management, we unpack these questions in-depth with our two guests – Senior Lecturer and Course Leader for the Master of Applied Behaviour Analysis at Monash University, Erin Leif, and Russell Fox, Lecturer in Behaviour Analysis, also from Monash University.

What impact have the past couple of years had on our young children's behaviour? Our children played in person, in the park, in the playground for several hours a day: they negotiated, disagreed, made up, compromised. Overnight, their schools closed and they suddenly had only their siblings, their parents and themselves for company, at home, all day, every day. How did this sudden shift in home life affect families, and how have we readjusted? And what are the implications moving forward, as we are firmly told that Covid is part of the new normal, on top of the ongoing challenges of everyday family life?Our guest on this episode of Raise Her Up is Livvy Gormally, a behaviour expert who works with families and schools to share her specialist knowledge of Early Intervention, Behaviour Management and School Inclusion. Livvy will talk us through the impact the past couple of years have had on our kids' development, will offer her tips on how to recalibrate our childrens' behaviour and manage our own expectations, and how to navigate the at-times challenging Christmas period ahead.

Today is RUOK? Day, a national day of action here in Australia, dedicated to reminding everyone to check in on their loved ones and ask ‘Are you OK?' For students, learning how to care for their own wellbeing and to support their peers to talk about how they feel is an important life lesson. In today's episode, we're joined by Professor Fiona Brooks, a medical sociologist and a professor of child and family health at the University of Technology Sydney. The focus of today's discussion is the relationship between mental health, wellbeing and student behaviour at school. But, we also explore the state of child and youth mental health in Australia, why it's important to approach poor student behaviour with empathy and compassion, and why meaningful student-teacher relationships can make a significant difference in any child's life.
