This is my favourite subject right now. If we get this right, we're winning!
I feel this is a major issue in the industry because we aren't educating teachers? I just spent an hour this week going over behaviour management with a candidate after an assessment where her students were poorly behaved. Why don't we do more of this in our courses? Purely because it's hard and scary and taking a side means you offend someone. There's also so many ways to manage behaviour. If we get this wrong, this is where toxic stress can creep in to our classes. Not just for our students but for us as well!
Fundamentally it should all be the same.
