DESCRIPTION: In this episode of Helping Teachers Thrive, Tem shares clear strategies for staying regulated and responding effectively when a situation starts to heat up, helping you to reduce panic, and giving you reliable options you can use straight away. Tem also discusses how teachers can make a strong first impression with students and explains why students need boundaries to feel safe, how teachers can handle moments of uncertainty or vulnerability, and why building strong relationships makes it easier to be authentic with students. The episode also highlights the importance of focusing on one practical strategy at a time, rather than becoming overwhelmed by trying to change everything at once.

If you would like to enquire about trauma-informed training, please contact Tem at tem@helpingteachersthrive.com or book a call: https://calendly.com/tem-helpingteachersthrive/60 KEY TAKEAWAYS: Use proximity, body language and tone of voice to manage behaviour before situations escalate. Make a strong first impression by being confident, welcoming and clear with your students. Establish clear boundaries and routines from the beginning so students know what to expect. Focus on one practical classroom management strategy at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Consistent communication and confident behaviour management can help create a calmer and safer learning environment. BEST MOMENTS: “Students need boundaries. If there are no boundaries there, students might feel unsafe.” “Stand tall, speak clearly. Try not to whisper because when you're quiet, they might think you're nervous.” “Be clear, be confident in how you speak.” “Sometimes students need to see that vulnerability, because it helps them to show their vulnerabilities in lessons as well.” “Don't think of too many because that can overwhelm you.” VALUABLE RESOURCES: https://patreon.com/thehelpingteachersthrivehub?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink EPISODES TO CHECK OUT NEXT: The Power Of Positive School Cultures With Dr Jim Van Allan ABOUT THE HOST: Since embarking on her teaching journey in 2009, Tem has been on a mission to empower students to reach their fullest potential.

DESCRIPTION: In this episode, Tem shares practical classroom management strategies to help teachers start the new academic year with confidence, less overwhelm and a calmer, more productive classroom. She explains why establishing clear classroom rules, routines and high expectations from day one can create a safer learning environment, reduce low-level disruption and help students understand exactly what is expected of them. Tem explores how teachers can build positive student relationships while maintaining their authority and also shares practical strategies such as non-verbal behaviour management, tracking the speaker and the 3-2-1 focus countdown to regain students' attention without shouting. The episode also looks at how consistent classroom routines can support student wellbeing and teacher wellbeing, why publicly humiliating students should be avoided, and how calm, consistent behaviour management can reduce teacher exhaustion while helping students thrive. If you'd like to listen to the Q&A session at the end of the webinar, head on over to The Helping Teachers Thrive Hub where you will be able to access to full recording (link is in the valuable resources section below). If you would like to enquire about trauma-informed training, please contact Tem at tem@helpingteachersthrive.com or book a call: https://calendly.com/tem-helpingteachersthrive/60 KEY TAKEAWAYS: Practise and reinforce routines consistently until they become habitual for students. Use clear, specific language so students understand exactly what is expected of them. Maintain your classroom authority while still being warm, approachable and human. Avoid publicly humiliating students and address behaviour calmly and privately where possible. Consistent classroom management can reduce disruption, support learning and protect teacher wellbeing. BEST MOMENTS: “Students need boundaries because that helps them to feel safe. They need to know what to expect and what's expected of them.” “Because when you are moving around the classroom, you're showing the student that this is my classroom, it's your classroom too, but I am the authority figure in the classroom.” “The worst thing we can do is publicly humiliate them. The worst thing we can do is tell them off in front of everybody.” “Instilling these rules in our lessons every single day consistently. Yes, that can be exhausting to an extent. However, in the long run, it's going to have a bigger impact on our students.” VALUABLE RESOURCES: https://patreon.com/thehelpingteachersthrivehub?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink EPISODES TO CHECK OUT NEXT: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/how-to-achieve-100-compliance-in-the-classroom/id1681843058?i=1000657860996 ABOUT THE HOST: Since embarking on her teaching journey in 2009, Tem has been on a mission to empower students to reach their fullest potential.

DESCRIPTION: In this episode of Helping Teachers Thrive, Tem explores how teachers and educators can shift their approach to classroom behaviour and behaviour management by looking for the positives in every student. Rather than focusing only on disruptive behaviour, teachers are encouraged to identify what helps students feel safe, motivated, engaged and successful. Tem explores how understanding triggers, relationships, interests and positive moments can help educators develop more effective strategies to support student behaviour and wellbeing. If you would like to enquire about trauma-informed training, please contact Tem at tem@helpingteachersthrive.com or book a call: https://calendly.com/tem-helpingteachersthrive/60 KEY TAKEAWAYS: Look beyond challenging behaviour and actively identify what a student is doing right Pay attention to when students are successful and consider what is different in those moments Instead of simply asking how to stop disruptive behaviour, ask what you can do to help the student feel safe, secure and less triggered in the classroom Remember that behaviour is separate from the child, and changing the language and perceptions we use around behaviour can lead to more positive outcomes Trauma-informed practice is about supporting every child with empathy and without judgement, while looking beneath behaviour to understand underlying needs and triggers.

What are the positives about Jack?” “What is creating those positive moments for Jack?” “What can we do to help him feel safe? What can we do to help him feel more secure? What can we do to help him feel less triggered?” “We need to separate that behaviour from the child and use more positive language going forwards.” “Every child deserves that member of staff, that adult that won't judge them, that will support them, that will provide them with empathy.” VALUABLE RESOURCES: https://patreon.com/thehelpingteachersthrivehub?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink EPISODES TO CHECK OUT NEXT: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/why-your-students-arent-listening-to-you/id1681843058?i=1000784183202 https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/does-shouting-actually-work-trauma-informed-behaviour/id1681843058?i=1000767481399 ABOUT THE HOST: Since embarking on her teaching journey in 2009, Tem has been on a mission to empower students to reach their fullest potential.

DESCRIPTION: In this episode, Tem explores what it really means to create a safe classroom, and why the moments where students feel comfortable enough to let their personality shine are proof that safety, not strictness, is what builds trust. She shares real classroom stories and explains why shutting those moments down can do more harm than good. Tem breaks down how to hold high expectations and firm boundaries while still being human, humorous, and approachable, and why that balance takes time to build, especially for new and trainee teachers. If you would like to enquire about trauma-informed training, please contact Tem at tem@helpingteachersthrive.com or book a call: https://calendly.com/tem-helpingteachersthrive/60 KEY TAKEAWAYS: Students only show their personality once real trust has been established. High expectations and personality aren't mutually exclusive. Strong boundaries and authentic humour can coexist in the same classroom. Relationship-building takes time Know your students well enough to joke appropriately. Humour only works safely once you understand a student well enough to avoid shame or escalation. Boundaries must stay consistent even as warmth increases BEST MOMENTS: "That's because of the space that you have created for your students that has allowed them to feel that confident, allowed them to feel safe enough to be themselves." "Why shame that student in that moment when they're showing their personality?" "It doesn't mean you can't be human. It doesn't mean that you can't bring your personality into lessons." "I want them to see my personality... Miss is human. Miss makes mistakes. Miss can have a laugh." "Always, always, always have expectations, high expectations in place... have boundaries in place and don't allow those boundaries to bend."

DESCRIPTION: In this summer episode of Helping Teachers Thrive , Tem encourages teachers to truly prioritise their wellbeing during the holidays. Reflecting on a conversation about teachers continuing to work while away, Tem acknowledges that everyone has different needs, but reminds listeners that rest is something they have earned. The episode also previews upcoming August webinars designed to help teachers start the new academic year with confidence, clarity and strength, while inviting listeners to suggest future topics. If you would like to enquire about trauma-informed training, please contact Tem at tem@helpingteachersthrive.com or book a call: https://calendly.com/tem-helpingteachersthrive/60 KEY TAKEAWAYS: Rest is essential, and teachers should give themselves permission to enjoy their summer break after a demanding academic year. Working during the holidays isn't inherently wrong if it genuinely supports your wellbeing, but it shouldn't take over your time off. Better planning and time management during term time can reduce the need to work evenings, weekends and holidays. Starting the new academic year strong begins with looking after yourself first, and the upcoming webinars aim to support teachers in doing exactly that.

DESCRIPTION: In this opening episode, Tem encourages teachers to make the most of their summer break without guilt. She explores the balance between rest and preparation, emphasising that wellbeing looks different for everyone. Whether that means getting organised for the new academic year early or focusing on personal goals and hobbies, the key message is to use the holidays intentionally, avoid last-minute stress, and build sustainable habits that support wellbeing throughout the school year. If you would like to enquire about trauma-informed training, please contact Tem at tem@helpingteachersthrive.com or book a call: https://calendly.com/tem-helpingteachersthrive/60 KEY TAKEAWAYS: There is no single right way to spend the summer holidays; teachers should do what genuinely helps them feel rested and prepared. Completing some school-related preparation early can reduce anxiety and create a more relaxing break later on. Use the summer break to reconnect with personal goals, hobbies, and experiences that have been postponed during the school year. Establish wellbeing habits during the holidays that can be maintained when the new academic year begins.

DESCRIPTION: In this episode, Tem encourages teachers to look back on the year and recognise the difference they've made in the lives of their students. From building confidence to helping young people feel safe, supported, and valued, many of the most important achievements in teaching can't be measured by data alone. Tem also explores the importance of reflecting on our own wellbeing, identifying what worked well this year, and considering the routines and boundaries we need to put in place to reduce stress and prevent burnout in the year ahead. This episode is a reminder to celebrate the small wins, acknowledge your impact, and head into the summer holidays knowing that your work has made a difference. If you would like to enquire about trauma-informed training, please contact Tem at tem@helpingteachersthrive.com or book a call: https://calendly.com/tem-helpingteachersthrive/60 KEY TAKEAWAYS: Recognise and celebrate the impact you've had on your students this year. Small wins and positive relationships can be just as important as academic outcomes. The classroom climate you create has a lasting effect on how students feel and learn. Reflect on the habits and routines that supported your wellbeing throughout the year. Use the summer break to recharge and plan boundaries that will help prevent burnout next year.

"It's not just about helping the students with their work, it's also about the climate that we create for those students coming into our lessons." "You have created your classroom climate for those students. You've created that safety net for them to help them to increase in their confidence and to progress and do well in lessons." "Look back at your successes. Look back at everything that went well for you this year. Reflect on things that didn't go so well and what we can do moving forwards next year."

DESCRIPTION: As another academic year draws to a close, Tem reflects on the incredible impact teachers have on the lives of their students every single day. This heartfelt episode is a reminder to pause and recognise the difference you've made this year, not just through lessons and assessments, but through the care, encouragement and support you've provided along the way. From building confidence and creating safe spaces to helping students overcome challenges, this episode celebrates the lasting legacy teachers leave behind and encourages educators to take pride in everything they have achieved this year. If you would like to enquire about trauma-informed training, please contact Tem at tem@helpingteachersthrive.com or book a call: https://calendly.com/tem-helpingteachersthrive/60 KEY TAKEAWAYS: Teachers make a lasting impact on students far beyond academic achievement. The support, empathy and care teachers provide often go unnoticed but can change lives. Students are more likely to remember how a teacher made them feel than what they were taught. Small interactions and daily acts of kindness can have lifelong effects on young people. As the academic year ends, teachers should take time to reflect on and celebrate the difference they have made. BEST MOMENTS: "You are the reason that some kids come to school every day." "You are the reason that some kids believe in themselves and have the confidence to try things and challenge themselves." "You just do because you genuinely care for the students that you teach." "I still remember not what they said, but how they treated me. I still remember how I felt in their classrooms." "A massive, massive, massive, massive thank you to all you teachers for every amazing, incredible thing that you do every single day."

DESCRIPTION: In this special Thank a Teacher Day episode of the Helping Teachers Thrive Podcast , Tem takes a moment to recognise and celebrate the incredible work teachers do every day that often goes unseen and unappreciated. The true impact of teaching goes far beyond academics. Teachers build confidence, create safe learning environments, support student wellbeing, identify additional needs, work closely with families, and help young people believe in themselves. Whether you're a trainee teacher, early career teacher, or experienced educator, this episode is a reminder of the lasting difference you make in the lives of your students. The lessons students remember most are often not the ones in the curriculum, they're the moments when a teacher listened, cared, encouraged, and believed in them. If you've ever questioned whether you're making a difference, this episode is for you.

DESCRIPTION: In this episode, Tem explores why teacher self-regulation is essential, how our responses can either escalate or de-escalate situations, and the powerful role trauma-informed practice plays in creating supportive learning environments. Drawing on real classroom experiences, she shares practical insights into building positive relationships, promoting resilience, and helping students develop the self-belief they need to thrive both in school and beyond. Whether you're a trainee teacher, early career teacher or experienced educator, this episode will encourage you to reflect on the hidden lessons your students learn from you every day. If you would like to enquire about trauma-informed training, please contact Tem at tem@helpingteachersthrive.com or book a call: https://calendly.com/tem-helpingteachersthrive/60 KEY TAKEAWAYS: The way teachers respond to students can either strengthen relationships and trust or contribute to conflict and escalation. Self-regulation is a vital skill for educators because calm adults are better able to support and co-regulate dysregulated students. Trauma-informed practice helps teachers understand the root causes of behaviour and respond with empathy rather than judgement. Consistently using positive language can build students' confidence, self-esteem and belief in their own potential. Teaching resilience, mindset and positive self-talk equips students with lifelong skills that extend far beyond academic achievement. BEST MOMENTS: "You will talk to yourself in your head more than you'll talk to anybody else your entire life. So be kind." "We need to look within ourselves before we respond to our students." "When our students are dysregulated, we need to remain calm so that we can then co-regulate for them." "Trauma-informed practice is all about instilling in children the belief that they are enough, that they are capable, and that they are valued." "We want to instil belief and confidence in our students so that they can feel like they can achieve anything going forwards in life."

DESCRIPTION: What if the most important thing you teach this year isn't on your scheme of work? In this episode of Helping Teachers Thrive , Tem shares a recent conversation with a student that completely stopped her in her tracks and reminded her why teaching matters so much. As educators, we're often consumed by data, accountability, behaviour, assessments and workload. It's easy to measure grades. It's easy to measure progress. But what about the impact we have that can't be measured? The lessons students carry with them long after they've forgotten the content. If you've ever questioned whether you're making a difference, felt overwhelmed by the pressures of teaching, or wondered if your efforts are truly having an impact, this episode is for you. If you would like to enquire about trauma-informed training, please contact Tem at tem@helpingteachersthrive.com or book a call: https://calendly.com/tem-helpingteachersthrive/60 KEY TAKEAWAYS: One comment can completely change your perspective Why some of the most important lessons aren't found in any specification What students really remember about their time in school How the hidden curriculum shapes future adults Why connection matters more than we sometimes realise BEST MOMENTS: "When we're drowning in workload, data, marking and accountability pressures, it's really easy to forget that some of the most important things that we teach aren't even measured." "Students don't always tell us straight away. They don't always say thank you. They don't always recognise the impact we're having." "Many won't even remember the lesson we taught. They'll remember the confidence we built within them, the belief we gave them, the resilience we helped them develop, and the life lessons we taught along the way." "Sometimes all it takes is that one comment from a student to remind us why what we do really matters."

DESCRIPTION: Has teaching become harder than ever before? In this thought-provoking episode of Helping Teachers Thrive, Tem explores how the teaching profession has changed over the years and why so many teachers are experiencing burnout, overwhelm and increasing pressure in today’s classrooms. From behaviour management and teacher workload to mental health support, student needs, data tracking, parental communication and accountability measures, this episode unpacks the growing demands placed on modern teachers and why comparing teaching “back then” to teaching today is far more complicated than many people realise. If you would like to enquire about trauma-informed training, please contact Tem at tem@helpingteachersthrive.com or book a call: https://calendly.com/tem-helpingteachersthrive/60 KEY TAKEAWAYS: Modern teaching has become far more complex, with teachers now balancing behaviour management, mental health support, data tracking and increasing accountability pressures. Rising workload demands and constant scrutiny are contributing to growing levels of teacher burnout and educators leaving the profession early. Increased awareness of SEND and mental health needs means schools are becoming better at identifying and supporting students who need additional help. Sustainable teaching comes from focusing on high-impact strategies, setting clear boundaries and avoiding the pressure to do everything at once. Trauma-informed practice helps teachers create calmer, safer and more supportive learning environments that benefit every student, not just those with additional needs.

BEST MOMENTS: “It’s not that teachers have become weaker..the job has become heavier.” “Doing everything isn’t the goal; doing what matters most is.” “Teachers are at the front line of everything.” “We’re here because we want to make a difference to the next generation.” “Trauma-informed practice doesn’t just benefit one child, it benefits every single child.” VALUABLE RESOURCES: https://patreon.com/thehelpingteachersthrivehub?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink EPISODES TO CHECK OUT NEXT: The Power Of Positive School Cultures With Dr Jim Van Allan ABOUT THE HOST: Since embarking on her teaching journey in 2009, Tem has been on a mission to empower students to reach their fullest potential.

DESCRIPTION: In this episode, Tem explores why behaviour policies on their own rarely lead to meaningful change in schools, and what actually makes the difference in creating calm, consistent and supportive classroom environments. Too often, schools invest time and energy into refining policies, tightening rules, or rewriting expectations, yet behaviour challenges persist. The missing link is rarely the policy itself, but how confidently and consistently staff are able to apply strategies in real classroom conditions. This conversation shifts the focus away from paperwork and towards practice. It highlights the importance of staff confidence, shared routines, leadership modelling, and ongoing coaching in building a culture where both students and teachers can thrive. Tem also unpacks the importance of regulation before consequence, the role of trauma-informed approaches, and why behaviour support must always keep the human needs of students at the centre. If you are a teacher or school leader looking to reduce low-level disruption, strengthen consistency, and build a calmer learning environment, this episode offers a practical and grounded perspective on where real change begins.

Practice matters more than paperwork. Staff confidence and consistency are crucial. Ongoing coaching is more effective than one-off CPD. Regulation must come before consequences. BEST MOMENTS: "You can have the best behaviour policy in the world and behaviour may still be an issue in your schools.” “Practice determines reality. What we do in practice has the biggest effect on improvements in behaviour in our schools, not what’s written on the policy.” “Consistency comes from systems, not documents.” “When we are in classrooms, we're under pressure in real time...the behaviour system will either work or fall apart.” “Student will not learn from a consequence in that moment when they’re not within their window of tolerance.” VALUABLE RESOURCES: https://patreon.com/thehelpingteachersthrivehub?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink EPISODES TO CHECK OUT NEXT: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/does-shouting-actually-work-trauma-informed-behaviour/id1681843058?i=1000767481399 ABOUT THE HOST: Since embarking on her teaching journey in 2009, Tem has been on a mission to empower students to reach their fullest potential.

DESCRIPTION: Does shouting in the classroom actually work? In this episode of Helping Teachers Thrive, we explore behaviour management, trauma-informed practice, and whether raising your voice leads to genuine behaviour change or simply short-term compliance.

DESCRIPTION: In this episode, Tem interviews Laura Cross, a former primary school teacher and founder of Inventors and Makers. They discuss Laura's transition from teaching to entrepreneurship, the challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the importance of creativity in education. Laura shares insights on franchising her business, the role of 'inventioneers', and how teachers can leverage their skills in new ventures. The conversation emphasises the need for teachers to explore alternative career paths while maintaining their passion for education. If you would like to enquire about trauma-informed training, please contact Tem at tem@helpingteachersthrive.com or book a call: https://calendly.com/tem-helpingteachersthrive/60 KEY TAKEAWAYS: Teachers possess valuable transferable skills that can be applied in business. The importance of creativity in education is often overlooked in traditional teaching environments. Leaving teaching doesn't mean abandoning it forever; teachers can return if needed. The role of 'inventioneers' allows teachers to maintain their passion while running their own businesses. Teachers should assess their priorities and find opportunities that align with their values. BEST MOMENTS: "You don't start at the salary that you're leaving teaching at. It's a business, you have to build it up." "We discovered that schools didn't really want online for the most part. They wanted us to come in in person." "Sitting down and looking at my year ahead and thinking about what's important to me. And that's family and health and lots of other things as well as business."
