A training video on stress, its impact, and implications for our school behaviour systems.
It includes a detailed look at the stress-response system and how it can influence classroom behaviour, as well as the overall impact of cumulative stress at a national level. |

A data video that unpicks what we know about the state of behaviour in our schools based on suspensions. A good primer for those who want to understand the association between income and behaviour. 2021/22 data from the Department of Education (with some additional analysis from me!)

A sample video from the full set available from Vimeo (Watch The Complete Guide to Running a Unit Online | Vimeo On Demand on Vimeo). This is an introduction for anyone setting up a unit within a mainstream school, or wanting to critically review their objectives and strategy.
A guest spot on Naylor's Natter talking about poverty and its connection to behaviour, misconceptions about mental health, SEND data and how teaching/leading in different schools should depend on the cohort.
A podcast recorded with Mathew Portell, principal of Fall-Hamilton Elementary school in Tennessee.
It focuses on trauma-informed education in the prison system. A live radio slot on Teachers Talk Radio talking about "The Excludables" with Nathan Gynn. We discuss alternative provision, teacher and parent attitudes towards exclusion, children missing from the data and whether exclusion is a "failure" of the system...

Just in case you needed a reminder! Chapters on poverty, race, prison, resilience, trust, trauma, stress, and what it means to be an educator of vulnerable children. Tons of research and a great introduction into the way I think about behaviour and its relationship with social structures and justice.
A book that changed everything for me. Case studies (trigger warning: some of them are extremely distressing) of young people who have experienced significant adversity, with a focus on how best to understand their behaviour and help them heal. Brilliant explanations that don't require a clinical background but will help you work with some of the most vulnerable children.
An insightful book that brilliantly articulates the internal experience of anger and defensive responses. Contains a useful and thought-provoking section on how to break down communication barriers with an upset teenager and avoid those restorative conversations that seem to stall or fall apart.
