In classrooms around the world, Some teachers are able to get the best from any student.
They stand out for their almost mystical ability to inspire and enjoy respect from even the most challenging young people.
In other classrooms these students are out of control. They’re noisy, abusive and disruptive, but with these brilliant teachers, they quickly settle and become focused. It's as though an invisible switch has been flipped: their previous behaviour vanishes, and they start paying attention, responding positively, taking part and showing respect. These same students, once so challenging, are now calm, positive and productive.
What is it these brilliant teachers do?
How do these teachers manage to get the very best from the most challenging, hard to reach kids in school?
And how can you do the same so that you too can create magic in your classroom?
Thankfully this is something any teacher can do relatively easily.
The answer lies in the energy, emotions and feelings experienced by your students.
After all, how often have you seen a genuinely happy, relaxed student causing mayhem in a classroom and disrupting the lesson?
Not very often.
Great teachers make kids feel good. They make them laugh. They make them feel empowered. They make them feel capable. They make them feel understood, wanted, and valued. Perhaps most important of all, they make them feel good about themselves.
By addressing the mood in the classroom and attending to the emotional and psychological needs of our students, you can enjoy a reduction in the stress, frustration and disharmony which so often result in unwanted classroom behaviours.
But again, how do you do it?
Well, one way is to spend years learning how to become a master of pedagogy and content delivery, dedicating every spare minute to learning the secret techniques and psychological tools used by enthusiastic and passionate master trainers.
A much quicker and easier way is to provide your students with ready-made activities to develop connection, focus, creativity and calm in your classroom. Activities your students will love and thank you for. Activities that instantly appeal and impact them on a deep emotional level.
