#170: 5 classroom management moves I am obsessed with (and you can use immediately)
Classroom management can feel like this big, intangible, confusing beast that no one can seem to nail down. Claire gets it — and this episode is her antidote to that. Five non-negotiable moves. Five things she'd hand you immediately if you came to her tomorrow and said "I'm struggling, what do I do?" No fluff, no theory — just the actual things that are within your control and that you can take into your classroom today. Because here's the thing: you can't control your students' behaviour. You can't control what they're dealing with at home, or how they're showing up. But there is so much you can control — and that's exactly where this episode lives. In this episode, Claire covers: Why classroom management feels so overwhelming — and the one reframe that changes everythingThe five non-negotiable moves Claire comes back to again and again: Ready-to-go scripts — one-liners that keep you regulated when a student pushes every button you haveRoutines — not just toilet passes, but the actual bones and heartbeat of your lessonBuy-in first — why engagement and connection have to come before everything elseCommunity building — dripping in little moments of felt safety and belonging every single lessonCrystal clear expectations — and knowing exactly how you'll respond when behaviour happensWhy leadership telling you to "get your class under control" is the wrong ask entirely — and how to feel proud of what you are doingResources mentioned: 📥 [Calm Scripts PDF] — 20 ready-to-go one-liners for tricky behaviour moments📦 [Routines Bundle] — everything you need to build routines that work the room for youHave a question, comment, or just want to say hello?
