Why I Started The Doozie Educator

Early in my career I discovered that many behaviour difficulties labelled as "defiance" were often symptoms of unmet needs, disengagement, inconsistent experiences or damaged relationships.

Over more than a decade working in education, behaviour, SEND and exclusion prevention, I have seen the impact a skilled adult can have on a young person's trajectory.

The Doozie Educator was created to help schools build behaviour cultures that combine high expectations with strong relationships.

My aim is simple: help schools create environments where staff feel confident, pupils feel understood and learning can thrive.
