In this episode, we catch up with Adele Bates, a behaviour specialist, ex-teacher and author of Miss I Don’t Give a Sh*t: Engaging with challenging behaviour in schools.
Our practical discussion looks at how we can deal with and prevent challenging behaviour, what challenging behaviour looks like, when it occurs and handling incidents.
We ask how we can create safety, boundaries and routines, including seating plans, how we can "see the child, not the behaviour", including issues of punishment and shame, how to "check-in" with students, communication of unmet needs, "teaching" self-regulation, and building relationships (the PACE approach).
