What I have learnt from teaching challenging classes | UK Teacher |

Hey! In this video I share with you an honest and transparent reflection of what I've learnt from teaching difficult classes or classes with challenging students. Managing behaviour can be a real struggle as a teacher and a source of a lot of anxiety and potentially make teachers want to leave the profession, so I hope to bring you some reassurance that you're not alone in having these feelings. Sometimes acceptance is the key.
I'll post a part two soon sharing behaviour management strategies I use in the classroom to help support with overcoming these challenges. Let me know if you have particular challenges you face and want some advice on.
I'd also love to know a bit about you - what do you teach, where do you teach and how long have you been teaching for. Let me know in the comments below.
