Dr Belinda Hopkins has been passionate for many years about putting joy, curiosity and wonder back into learning. When teachers are overwhelmed by the challenges of ‘managing’ classrooms or policing ‘behaviour’  they lose sight of why they came into teaching in the first place. Sometimes every lesson becomes a battle of wills. Restorative and relational ways of thinking, speaking and behaving can bring fresh energy back to the shared endeavour of learning about life, in all its wondrous facets.
