@adamboxer1. I did your MWB training, I have come to your school and I have to say that after 19 years……..I think I’m a MWB ‘believer’.

A teacher’s tone, pacing, and presence shape the emotional climate of the classroom.
Calm speech, intentional pauses, and grounded authority signal safety and focus, inviting students to settle and engage.
No strategy, protocol, or “fancy” method can succeed if the teacher’s own nervous system is dysregulated and chaotic.
Great visit. Enjoy.

Just spent the morning here. A really good, well structured school visit with some great presentations and then the opportunity to make sure that they practice what they preach. They do. Visit!

Hearing more and more complaints from mentors about the unrealistic demands when working with trainees and ECTs.
Seems that some of it is coming from the ECF but a big chunk from the training provider too.
Absolutely critical to get this right, and not force experienced and knowledgeable mentors to jump through hoops. The overwhelming majority of their time should be on observing and feedback, not paperwork and multiple online platforms.

The best teachers I've seen don't use a wide range of activities.
They do a few things, and they do them well. They hone them, practise them, and know exactly when each one should be used and why. The students become habituated to them, and learning goes through the roof.
