This Assertive Teacher webinar explores how to avoid hostile and passive teaching styles by adopting an assertive approach that fosters respect and cooperation in your classroom. It is a must attend for any Teachers working in challenging environments. These teaching challenges come in many forms and from many directions: sometimes multiple challenges at once. Balancing the act of "getting students to just get on with their work" while ensuring "you’re not being taken advantage of" requires navigating a narrow path between hostile and passive interactions with students. This balance becomes even harder to maintain when the work is less engaging or the teacher struggles to capture interest.
When students are challenging, teaching staff can sometimes react with anger or disengage entirely. However, by adopting an assertive approach—ensuring students comply with expectations without being "bossy"—you can remain professional and increase the chances of achieving your goals. Attend to discover tips and tricks of how to achieve the best outcomes.
