About Molly Potter

Molly Potter decided she wanted the job her teacher had when she was ten because it looked fun. A little over a decade later she saw her decision become reality and set to creating a classroom filled with excitement and laughter (alongside buckets of learning of course). She pushed, pulled, squashed, coiled and hammered learning objectives so that they would no longer fit inside the box and found that this not only made her pupils smile, it made them remember what they were meant to remember.

Molly eventually left the classroom to become a teacher trainer in all things PSHE. She enjoys training big kids too. This led Molly towards writing books that aimed to help young children with some of the more difficult aspects of life. Molly now mostly delivers training and talks to teachers, parents, carers, children and other organisations about emotional intelligence (including how to use it to manage children's challenging behaviour).
