“I’ve come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It is my daily mood that makes the weather.” - Haim G. Ginott
This reflective staff CPD session explores how the emotional climate created by adults influences the classroom. Suitable for INSET, whole-school CPD or departmental meetings, it encourages teachers to consider how their presence, responses and everyday interactions shape the atmosphere students experience.
The session explores:
The classroom as an emotional climate, and why students often respond to our emotional state before our words.
Breaking the pressure cycle by recognising the difference between reacting and responding.
Why consistency and predictability matter more than constant positivity.
The impact of staffroom climate and the way adults influence one another.
Three simple reflection prompts to carry into everyday practice: Before the Bell, In the Moment, and After the Moment.
Includes:
- Editable PowerPoint presentation
- Full speaker notes
- Approximately 30–40 minutes of CPD
- Editable display poster, ready to print
- Suitable for primary and secondary staff
