DESCRIPTION:

In this episode, Tem delves into the intricate world of non-verbal behaviour management. From subtle cues to commanding presence, discover the silent symphony of body language, facial expressions, and spatial awareness that can help teachers effectively guide behaviour without uttering a word and get students back on task quickly and quietly.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Facial expressions can convey a range of emotions, from approval and encouragement to disapproval and concern
• Subtle signals to show students that you have noticed their behaviour and expect them to re-focus on the task at hand
• Moving closer to a student who is disengaged or off-task can communicate attentiveness and potentially discourage further distraction
• Silence can be a powerful behaviour management tool

BEST MOMENTS:

"Position yourself in proximity to the students"

"That teacher look"

"Use facial expressions for positive reasons as well"
