#111: What moving countries with a toddler reinforced about classroom management and behaviour.
In this episode, I reflect on my recent move from New Zealand to Australia and the unexpected lessons it reinforced about classroom management. Moving is always challenging, but relocating with a toddler highlighted the profound impact of predictability and structure on behaviour. This experience reaffirmed a key classroom management principle: predictability is the brain’s best friend. I explore how structured routines, such as entry and exit procedures, transition cues, and scaffolding techniques, can help regulate behaviour and create a sense of safety in the classroom. Tune in for insights on how to proactively support students and foster a more predictable learning environment. Listen in as I discuss: The Impact of Predictability on Behaviour.
