Pushing and Shoving features a short dramatic reconstruction of a pushing and shoving incident at the beginning of a lesson. In this scenario, the teacher fails to take control of the situation and it escalates into a shouting match and a major disruption of the lesson. What could the teacher have done differently? A panel featuring Senior Education Psychologist Tina Rae and working teachers go through the scenario, offering clear and straightforward advice on how teachers might handle challenging situations like this. The discussion focuses on managing your own composure, how to address both students equally and how and when it is safe to move in between the students to defuse a situation.
