Cultivating Classroom Calm: Nurturing Well-being, Fostering Success!

The landscape of teaching is shifting. The dynamics in our classrooms, the needs of our students, and the demands on us as teachers are changing.

Reflecting on the past, I remember when addressing Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs in the classroom was rare occurrence. A single child needing specialized support was the norm. Back then, personalized attention and interventions were more manageable with dedicated 1-1 teaching assistants, ensuring a child received the care they required.

Fast forward to the present, and the reality has transformed. The aftermath of the pandemic has led to 1 in 5 children reported to have a mental health disorder. Picture a classroom; among a group of 30, you'll likely find 5 to 6 children requiring significant mental health support. You then have many more students with diverse social and emotional needs, demanding our attention and care.

The challenges we face are multifaceted. Scarce 1-1 support, lack of Teaching Assistants, and the daunting delays in external interventions coupled with inadequate funding have left us, the teachers, feeling stretched thin, exhausted, and lacking support. Educational institutions emphasize standardized test outcomes, pressuring us to ensure every minute is crammed with academics. But amidst this frenzy, our classrooms are teetering on the brink of chaos.

It's time for a change. Children aren't mere receptacles for knowledge; they're complex beings whose ability to learn hinges on their emotional well-being. Without a sense of safety and regulation, absorbing information becomes an impossible task. It's like throwing dust at a wall and expecting it to stick.
