Help! How do I control this class?

**Help! How do I control this class?** In this episode of our practical Q&A series for CRTs, we tackle one of the most common and daunting challenges in relief teaching: behaviour management and maintaining control. Schools are dynamic, fast-moving, and often unpredictable environments, and walking into a new classroom can sometimes feel like stepping into a whirlwind. In this episode, our panel discusses proactive strategies to prevent chaos before it starts, followed by practical, experience-based responses to real-life scenarios that can derail a lesson in seconds. What do you do if – - A student has a loud emotional meltdown during a transition? - A group of students challenges your authority with sarcasm and refusal? - The class becomes noisy and unfocused during independent work? This series is designed to support CRTs with realistic advice, reassurance, and actionable strategies that can be applied immediately to keep your classroom calm, focused, and under control. **Professional Development Opportunity** Professional learning may include: •seminars, conferences, workshops and online learning •collegiate meetings and **professional conversations** focused on improving practice and outcomes for learners •participation in education-related boards, committees or panels. **This episode focuses on:** Australian Professional Standards for Teachers This episode focuses on: Australian Professional Standards for Teachers   **Professional Development Opportunity** Professional learning may include: •seminars, conferences, workshops and online learning •collegiate meetings and **professional conversations** focused on improving practice and outcomes for learners •participation in education-related boards, committees or panels. **This episode focuses on:** Australian Professional Standards for Teachers   1.1      Physical, social and intellectual development and characteristics of students 1.2     Understand how students learn 2.1     Content and teaching strategies of the teaching area 2.5     Literacy and numeracy strategies 2.6     Information and Communication Technology (ICT) 3.4     Select and use resources 3.5     Use effective classroom communication 4.1     Support student participation          4.2     Manage classroom activities 4.3     Manage challenging behaviour 4.4     Maintain student safety 4.5      Use ICT safely, responsibly and ethically 7.1     Meet professional ethics and responsibilities **Looking for work?** Submit your CV   **Looking for quality teachers?** If you would like to use Tradewind’s teachers in your school, please call 1800 192 195 or [send your details to us and we will be in contact](mailto:bdteam@twrecruitment.com.au) shortly. * * * Hosted on Acast.
