Behaviour Is Taught, Not Managed
Good morning,
Apologies for the erratic Wednesday newsletter. I was away and, while I remembered to schedule the episode, forgot to update the newsletter with live links. Face palm. Anyway…
We would never expect pupils to master multiplication after hearing it explained once. Yet schools often introduce behavioural expectations in September and assume pupils will remember them for the rest of the year.
In this episode, Brendan Lee explains why behaviour should be taught, practised and revisited like any other part of the curriculum. It is a practical conversation about routines, attention, positive reinforcement and creating classrooms in which learning can actually happen.
Hope you enjoy…

Behaviour in August…
This Saturday, we continued our new four-part mini-series on behaviour in schools.
Across the series, we explore why behaviour can feel harder than ever, how it can be taught rather than simply managed, when teachers should call for help, and five ways schools can promote positive behaviour for learning.
TDaPE Club members can listen to all four episodes now, with each episode then released publicly over the following weeks.
A big thank you to everyone who shared last week’s episode. It genuinely makes a difference, helping the podcast reach more thoughtful primary teachers and leaders. If someone came to mind while you were listening, I’d be very grateful if you sent the episode their way.
That’s all from me this week. I’d love to hear what you thought, so leave a comment wherever you listen or simply reply to this email.
Until next time, thanks for listening.
