All of my favourite teachers in school, I felt seen by and level to. I wasn't just a student to them, I was a young man. It was these teachers I learned the most from, and continue to thank for my journey to this day. Strong student-teacher relationships are imperative. Building rapport and trust is at the forefront of our work with young men, as we'd hope it to be in schools.

Inspired by @lori.desautels, this statement rings true to me. The only person’s behaviour we can actually control is our own. There is so much out of our control…. for example: Class sizes: Some classes have up to 30 kids in them, if you think you can control all of these kids, you’re on another planet, and I say that with love and kindness! How children come to school: Some children come to school highly dysregulated. Trying to control and manipulate them with rewards or consequences will only make it worse. We need to be able to co-regulate and help them come back into balance. We can only control ourselves and that’s why doing ‘the work’ to become more emotionally intelligent and in touch with ourselves is the way to calmer classrooms.

The Most Valuable Lessons Often Come from Unexpected Teachers Teaching children with special needs has taught me more than I ever imagined. Each day in the classroom is a reminder that progress isn’t always linear, and success comes in many forms. I remember one student, Sarah, who had difficulty communicating verbally. Her frustration would sometimes get in the way of her learning. But through patience and personalized approaches, we discovered that Sarah expressed herself best through art. She began to paint and draw her emotions, and over time, her confidence soared. Moments like these remind me that teaching isn’t just about the lesson plan; it’s about understanding, connection, and celebrating the unique strengths of every child. It’s about adapting to their needs and fostering an environment where they can thrive at their own pace. Working with these incredible students has reinforced that every child, no matter their abilities, has something valuable to contribute. It’s a journey that requires patience, creativity, and endless compassion—but the rewards are life-changing, not just for them, but for me as well.

Why you should encourage all of your teaching staff to experience at least one The Outward Bound Trust residential! It's essential to remember that Outward Bound courses offer benefits not only to young people but also to educators and teachers. When teachers and education professionals participate in these courses, they not only gain a shared experience with their students but also bring back valuable lessons to the classroom. Witnessing the sense of achievement on a young person's face when they conquer a challenge, whether it's scaling a peak or taking a plunge into a frozen lake, can be incredibly rewarding. These experiences foster personal growth and build resilience in both students and teachers alike. Moreover, taking a break from the school environment through an Outward Bound course provides educators with a fresh perspective, allowing them to recharge and strengthen relationships with their students and colleagues.
