Building the safe, calm, dignified classroom- with Tom Bennett

'Build a relationship' with your class' is true, but terrible advice to someone when the class doesn't seem to want one, you aren't sure how, or even what it means. Aren't you there to just...teach?

But if the class won't behave, then they're not going to learn or thrive, as learners or people.

This webinar offers practical, straightforward advice on how teachers can build the kinds of relationships with classes that leave students:

• Positive about learning
• Ready to try new things
• Motivated to do their best
• Interested in what you have to say
• Committed to being kind to one another.

....and you'll be able to hear yourself think!

Join Tom Bennett in this live webinar, with an opportunity to ask questions throughout so that you can make the most out of your session.

Suitable for Primary and Secondary colleagues.
