#80: The low-down on low-level behaviours: Why they are so tricky and why the advice around them sucks!

The Unteachables Podcast

In today’s episode, I’m diving deep into the frustration of low-level behaviours in the classroom—why they are so tricky to handle and why the advice out there often falls flat.
This is episode 1 of a big focus on low-level behaviours this month, so be sure to follow along for the rest if this is a big challenge for you in your practice!

IN THIS EPISODE, I DISCUSS:

• My personal experiences with low-level behaviours and why I’m so passionate about this topic - hellooooo shaking our confidence and fuelling feelings of hopelessness!
• The flawed advice (that's putting it kindly) teachers often receive around handling low-level disruptions and why it doesn't work. After all, we can't make 30 phone calls a day, and we are TRYING to engage them!
• What actually defines a low-level behaviour and why these behaviours fall into a “grey area.”
• What you can do differently to break the cycle of frustration and regain control in your classroom.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clearer understanding of why low-level behaviors are so hard to tackle and a few actionable insights to start making a real change in your classroom.
