Managing challenging student behaviour can be one of the toughest parts of relief teaching — especially when students come with a mix of diagnosed and undiagnosed needs. In this episode, we unpack practical strategies to help you stay calm, confident, and in control.
From understanding the underlying causes of behaviour to using proactive routines and simple relationship-building techniques, we explore what really works in the classroom. Whether you’re facing students with autism, ADHD, trauma backgrounds, or just big personalities, this episode will help you teach with empathy, authority, and balance — even on your first day in a new school.
