  • Why Teacher Self-Regulation Matters
    Jun 9 2026

    DESCRIPTION:

    In this episode, Tem explores why teacher self-regulation is essential, how our responses can either escalate or de-escalate situations, and the powerful role trauma-informed practice plays in creating supportive learning environments. Drawing on real classroom experiences, she shares practical insights into building positive relationships, promoting resilience, and helping students develop the self-belief they need to thrive both in school and beyond. Whether you're a trainee teacher, early career teacher or experienced educator, this episode will encourage you to reflect on the hidden lessons your students learn from you every day.

    If you would like to enquire about trauma-informed training, please contact Tem at tem@helpingteachersthrive.com or book a call: https://calendly.com/tem-helpingteachersthrive/60

    KEY TAKEAWAYS:

    • The way teachers respond to students can either strengthen relationships and trust or contribute to conflict and escalation.
    • Self-regulation is a vital skill for educators because calm adults are better able to support and co-regulate dysregulated students.
    • Trauma-informed practice helps teachers understand the root causes of behaviour and respond with empathy rather than judgement.
    • Consistently using positive language can build students' confidence, self-esteem and belief in their own potential.
    • Teaching resilience, mindset and positive self-talk equips students with lifelong skills that extend far beyond academic achievement.

    BEST MOMENTS:

    "You will talk to yourself in your head more than you'll talk to anybody else your entire life. So be kind."

    "We need to look within ourselves before we respond to our students."

    "When our students are dysregulated, we need to remain calm so that we can then co-regulate for them."

    "Trauma-informed practice is all about instilling in children the belief that they are enough, that they are capable, and that they are valued."

    "We want to instil belief and confidence in our students so that they can feel like they can achieve anything going forwards in life."

  • What Are We Really Teaching Our Students?
    Jun 2 2026

    DESCRIPTION:

    What if the most important thing you teach this year isn't on your scheme of work? In this episode of Helping Teachers Thrive, Tem shares a recent conversation with a student that completely stopped her in her tracks and reminded her why teaching matters so much. As educators, we're often consumed by data, accountability, behaviour, assessments and workload. It's easy to measure grades. It's easy to measure progress. But what about the impact we have that can't be measured? The lessons students carry with them long after they've forgotten the content.

    If you've ever questioned whether you're making a difference, felt overwhelmed by the pressures of teaching, or wondered if your efforts are truly having an impact, this episode is for you.

    If you would like to enquire about trauma-informed training, please contact Tem at tem@helpingteachersthrive.com or book a call: https://calendly.com/tem-helpingteachersthrive/60

    KEY TAKEAWAYS:

    • One comment can completely change your perspective
    • Why some of the most important lessons aren't found in any specification
    • What students really remember about their time in school
    • How the hidden curriculum shapes future adults
    • Why connection matters more than we sometimes realise

    BEST MOMENTS:

    "When we're drowning in workload, data, marking and accountability pressures, it's really easy to forget that some of the most important things that we teach aren't even measured."

    "Students don't always tell us straight away. They don't always say thank you. They don't always recognise the impact we're having."

    "Many won't even remember the lesson we taught. They'll remember the confidence we built within them, the belief we gave them, the resilience we helped them develop, and the life lessons we taught along the way."

    "Sometimes all it takes is that one comment from a student to remind us why what we do really matters."
