Classroom Behaviour: The Hidden Cost to Every School — and a Practical Way Forward
Lost teaching time. Stressed teachers. Frustrated leadership teams. Even minor disruptions multiply, eroding morale and school culture. Small improvements compound into calmer lessons, happier staff, and better outcomes.
When behaviour challenges rise, staff confidence falls. The right responses — rehearsed — change the trajectory of lessons.
Glen Pearsall’s Practical Framework — With Real Practice
Glen’s strategies are clear, humane, and immediately usable. What makes this course different is deliberate practice with lifelike AI students. Teachers safely rehearse responses — from subtle off-task redirection to firm, calm follow-through — so the right moves become second nature.
- Short expert videos that model tone, timing, and language.
- AI simulations to practise pivots, directed choice, and declarative language.
- Downloadable resources and structured reflection to lock in learning.
Module 1: Off-Task Behaviour (2 hours PD)
Practical Strategies
Pivots, calm redirection, and non-escalation routines that work when attention wanders.
AI Practice & Support
Rehearse with lifelike students and get instant support via Ask TTA when questions arise.
Guides & Reflection
Clear takeaways and quick-reference resources to support day-to-day use.
“Amazing PD session packed with practical tips. The presentation was highly engaging, motivational, and relevant. A request: I was wondering if it’s possible to listen to the video again for me beginning of next year to revisit the tips given.”
“The best course I have ever completed. I will be coming back to this to hone my skills. The strategies and phrases with the clear reasoning were easily understood. Every newbie needs to do this …”
“This course has been one of the most practical and thoughtfully designed professional learning experiences I’ve taken… I now feel better equipped to respond calmly and effectively to a wide range of student behaviours.”
“The highlights of this course were the practical, evidence-based strategies and the interactive chatbot simulations that made learning feel real and relevant… The use of realistic examples, clear explanations, and concise key takeaways helped me understand not only what to do, but why it works.”
“Overall, the course was excellent — clear, practical, and engaging. To make it even better, I’d add more diverse scenarios, options for teacher collaboration, and quick-reference cards for use during lessons.”
“Engaging, motivational, and relevant. Chat bot brats — too much fun. Very much like the kids we teach.”
We appreciate constructive feedback too (e.g., occasional audio clarity). We keep iterating to improve the experience.
