[ THE BACK TO SCHOOL BOOTCAMP 2026 ] 

Your Go-To Plan For a Strong Start to the School Year

Most teachers miss their window to set the right tone, and by Week 5, behaviour’s unravelling. This 3-day bootcamp gives you the exact plan to put together the huge classroom management puzzle, and lead with clarity, connection, and calm from Day 1.

Bite-sized videos. Instant access. Watch anytime.

If you’re already dreading the first week back... you’re not alone.

You want to set the tone. Build culture. Introduce boundaries. Oh—and maybe teach a little.
But instead, you’re stuck in decision fatigue, wondering:

  • “What do I actually need to prep before Day 1?”

  • “How do I balance structure and connection—without losing credibility?”

  • “When do I introduce expectations? And how?”

  • “What even counts as a good first lesson anymore?”

You’ve tried Googling. You’ve pieced together bits from PDs and Pinterest.
But nothing gives you a clear, cohesive plan that actually holds.

That’s why this bootcamp exists—so you don’t have to guess.
And so you don’t have to wait until Week 5 to realise it didn’t stick.

 


đŸ„Â Introducing đŸ„

The Back to School Bootcamp

Over a live power-hour session, you'll learn how to put those classroom management pieces together to introduce belonging, boundaries, and basics into your classroom community.  

 

  

I break the first week down into:

DAY 1: BELONGING

Grab that buy-in. Build that rapport. Create those “yep
 this is going to be a good year in English” vibes. Start introducing routines by osmosis.

DAY 2: BOUNDARIES

Set the standard for how your classroom runs by explicitly teaching expectations and entry/exit routines in a warm, firm, calm, credible way.

DAY 3: BASICS

Establish the essential learning routines: early finishers, help-seeking, learning flow, while beginning real content and building a predictable classroom rhythm.

Enrol Now & Walk Into Week One Ready

Short session. Big shifts. 

In This 1-Hour Bootcamp, You’ll Learn:

  • How to map out your first week so routines, relationships, and expectations all land without overwhelm

  • What actually matters on Day 1—and what you can stop obsessing over

  • The order to introduce boundaries, connection, and culture (so it sticks)

  • Low-prep, high-impact strategies to build rapport and regulation from the jump

  • Where classroom management fits in the first week puzzle—and how to stop guessing

  • The secret to avoiding the Week 5 “why is everything falling apart?” moment

  • Exactly how to use your Behaviour Club resources to start strong (without decision fatigue)

What Other Teachers Are Saying👇


The Back to School Bootcamp is brand new inside of The Behaviour Club, but this is what teachers say about learning with Claire.

"The Behaviour Club is honestly life-changing. Claire’s support is kind, caring, and so practical. It’s hands-down the most helpful teacher club I’ve ever been part of — and I’ve already brought so many of the strategies into my classroom."

Hayley Guilderson - Behaviour Club Member

 

“This course was better than any behaviour management training I received at university or during my teaching practices. Best money I have ever spent on training or any books I have read!”

Georgina Pooley - The Classroom Management Lab Grad

 

"Before joining The Behaviour Club, I was losing hope. I was seriously considering leaving teaching. I’ve been doing this for 14 years, and what I was doing wasn’t working — because kids are changing. Claire’s support has transformed how I show up in the classroom. I’m finally connecting with students in a way that feels calm, professional, and actually works. It’s changing my teaching life and my life life.

Angela - Behaviour Club Member

 

"Classroom management has always been the most difficult part of teaching for me, and I came very close to quitting last year because every day was such a struggle... A year later, I no longer think about quitting teaching. Thank you so much!"

Arielle Baker - The Classroom Management Lab Grad

Why Learn From Me? Because I’ve Been Exactly Where You Are.

Hi! I’m Claire 👋 A secondary teacher, behaviour coach, author, and creator of The Behaviour Club.

But more importantly?
I’ve been that teacher crying in the car.
I’ve felt the pit in my stomach walking into that class.
I’ve questioned whether I could keep doing this job the way I wanted to — with care, with calm, and with my damn dignity intact.

I created this challenge because I know how hard behaviour can hit when you care deeply and refuse to play the old-school “control and compliance” game.

This isn’t theory. This is everything I’ve learned from working with hundreds of teachers who felt the same way — who wanted real tools, fast wins, and a way to lead the room without losing themselves in the process.

This is not fluff. It’s not filler.
It’s your starting point.
And I’d be honoured to walk it with you.

This work? It works.👇

Here’s what just a few of the thousands of teachers I’ve supported have said:

“Being part of The Classroom Management Lab has been one of my most rewarding and inspiring experiences in my teaching career!”

Claire Miles - The Classroom Management Lab Grad

"I already feel so much more confident in my classroom management. Claire does a great job at outlining what to do and it has helped me to actually change! The Behaviour Club provides training, resources, and a community all helping me to learn the skills I need and how to actually make it work in the classroom!"

Sydnee Franzwa - Behaviour Club Member

 

“The CRM Lab has given me a framework and philosophy for behaviour management that really makes sense. However, it is not just theoretical — I LIVE for practical application, and this course is full of it! I have been implementing so many of the strategies.”

Keren Klugt - The Classroom Management Lab Grad

"I know better, can do better, and can build a teacher presence I feel proud of and confident in."

Samantha Page - The Classroom Management Lab Grad
