How to Set Up Your Conscious Classroom This Year

In this episode, you will learn how to set up your classroom this year to have a learning environment that’s safe and nurturing, where students can thrive both academically and socially.

If you’ve ever wondered how to move away from punitive measures and into a more responsive, emotionally aware teaching approach, this episode is for you.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• How emotional intelligence, connection, and responsiveness can transform your classroom into a supportive space.
• Why self-awareness around your teaching beliefs and practices is the foundation for lasting change.
• How old habits and default reactions can block progress
• Why your regulation as a teacher directly impacts the emotional climate of your classroom.
• How co-regulation works and why it’s key for students’ emotional development.
• How to address unmet needs or lagging skills instead of resorting to punitive measures.
• Strategies to support behaviour rather than reacting with discipline.
• Why continuous growth and reflection are essential for conscious teaching.
• How focusing on what’s within your control allows you to show up as the teacher you want to be.
