Hello friend.
β
Well done! You made it to the summer holidays. ππΎππΎππΎππΎππΎππΎ
β
Whether you're travelling abroad or staying local, I wish you a relaxing and peaceful time.
β
You deserve a break!
β
September might feel like a distant speck on the horizon, butβlike a rambling Donald Trump tweetβyou know itβs coming.
β
With all the marking, curriculum planning, and lesson prep you have to do, dealing with bad behaviour is the last thing you need.
β
My friend, this is where I can help you.
β
My Instagram channel has a treasure trove of short videos to help you become the classroom leader your students need.
β
They are:
β’ Engaging
β’ Super short (1 - 2 minutes long)
β’ Full of practical advice that can be actioned immediately.
β
In this newsletter, I'll categorise them so you can easily find and watch these videos at your pleasure.
β
So, in September, if you're stuck with that tricky class or a child sent from the Netherrealm to test your patience, come back to this edition and try a technique or two on for size. π
