    I heard this podcast on my way to work. I felt like Claire was sitting right next to me and we were having a simple chat. The strategies she shared are easy going and not intimidating in any way. I was able to use a plenary she referenced in her show (the door exit ticket) this afternoon. It worked wonders! I’ll definitely be listening to more shows!

Q: What's the biggest myth about student behaviour?
That low-level disruptions are the same as higher-level behaviours; instead, mitigate disruptions through strong routines and preemptive supports rather than chasing every minor issue in the moment.

Q: What's the biggest mistake teachers make when trying to manage behaviour?
The mistake is thinking it's all about the behaviour itself; it's a holistic puzzle that involves routines, room climate, and proactive strategies that set students up for success before behaviours emerge.
