From a GLAS Method perspective, Stable Foundation begins with Centredness and Harnessing Awareness in the educator. A teacher’s internal state directly influences classroom regulation. When teachers are grounded, aware, and emotionally regulated, they create an environment where students can settle and focus.
The foundation is strengthened through Manage Your Energy, House in Order, and Holding the Room. Predictable routines, organised spaces, and clear expectations reduce cognitive load for both teachers and students. Stability preserves energy and prevents constant firefighting.
Finally, Stable Foundation supports Strong Connections, Together, and Joy / Fulfilment in education. When safety and consistency are present, relationships deepen, engagement increases, and teaching becomes sustainable and meaningful rather than exhausting.
