This week, we're diving into teaching styles, classroom confidence, and finding the balance between authority and approachability.

As trainee teachers, we all discover what kind of educators we want to be. But how do we establish our presence in the classroom? How do we build relationships with students while keeping high expectations? And does your personality shape your teaching style—or does teaching shape you?

In this episode, we reflect on:

• How our teaching styles are developing in placement
• The role confidence plays in managing a classroom
• Finding your natural presence as a teacher
• Balancing high expectations with a warm, engaging environment
• The different approaches to classroom management
