Connected Teaching, Child Development & Emotional Intelligence with Maggie Dent

In this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Maggie Dent.

She shares her extensive experience and the need for a shift in how we approach teaching and parenting. We explore the importance of creating safe, nurturing environments in schools, understanding the unique needs of all children, especially in their early years, and how this can dramatically improve both learning outcomes and teacher satisfaction.

It is such a passionate conversation and one that I really enjoyed having!

Here’s what you are in for:

• The importance of meeting the needs of everyone in the classroom.
• The power of a flexible and engaging classroom environment.
• The six things you need to become an exceptional educator.
• How bias and assumptions can influence student performance
• Effective strategies and communication techniques for managing classroom behaviour.
• The critical role of relationships, connection, and play in education.
• Specific strategies to help boys thrive in the school environment.
• The importance of setting non-negotiable boundaries for your wellbeing.

This conversation is jam-packed and will no doubt empower you to reflect on how you teach, understand and support the children in your life.

Whether you're an educator or a parent, this episode is for you.
