Does Shouting Actually Work? Trauma-Informed Behaviour Management for Teachers

DESCRIPTION: Does shouting in the classroom actually work? In this episode of Helping Teachers Thrive, we explore behaviour management, trauma-informed practice, and whether raising your voice leads to genuine behaviour change or simply short-term compliance. This episode is designed for trainee teachers, ECTs, and experienced educators looking for effective classroom management strategies that build calm, consistent, and emotionally safe learning environments.
