In this podcast episode, Tem addresses the complexities teachers face when other staff members intervene with managing student behaviours. She stresses the importance of recognising individual student dynamics and avoiding comparisons to past behaviours. Tem acknowledges both the potential issues and benefits of staff interventions, emphasising the need for clear communication and teamwork, providing advice on handling such situations with professionalism, discussing matters privately, and remaining open to colleagues' input. The key takeaway is the crucial role of a united staff in fostering a supportive and consistent classroom environment.
