Eureka 3

Overview

Every teacher has days, or seasons, when energy runs low, emotions feel stretched, or confidence wavers. Yet classrooms still demand calm, clarity, and consistency. This session explores practical strategies for managing student behaviour when you’re feeling vulnerable, depleted, burnt out, or simply not yourself. Drawing on current research in emotional regulation, teacher wellbeing, and cognitive behaviour therapy, we’ll discuss how to maintain a steady presence in front of students while managing your own stress. Through real classroom examples, participants will learn how to set boundaries, communicate with empathy, and use small resets to regain balance and authority. Educators will leave with a toolkit for managing both student behaviour and their own wellbeing, ensuring that even on the toughest days, the classroom remains a place of stability, safety, and genuine connection.
