The Calm Class Room

A Five-Minute Method for Substitute Teachers to Win the Day

By: Luna Kunis

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The essential guide for every substitute teacher who wants calm, confidence and control—even on days that begin in chaos.

Walking into an unfamiliar classroom can feel overwhelming. You don’t know the students, the routines, the expectations or the emotional climate. But you can walk in with something far more powerful than information: a calm, five-minute method that brings safety, structure and steadiness to any room.

In The Calm Classroom, psychotherapist and experienced substitute teacher Luna Kunis offers a simple, warm and psychologically grounded system that shows you how to:

• Start any lesson with calm, clear authority

• Build instant trust—even with classes you have never met

• Give instructions children actually follow

• Reduce anxiety, noise and testing behaviour

• Reset a room before it escalates

• Work confidently with ADHD, autism and mixed levels

• Leave the classroom better than you found it

• End the day feeling proud, not drained

Rooted in child psychology and gentle leadership, this book gives substitutes what they’ve always needed but rarely received: real guidance for real classrooms.

It’s practical. It’s human. And it works.

Whether you substitute for a few days or every week, this method will help you create the kind of calm classroom where children learn—and where teachers ask for you by name.

Perfect for: new substitutes, experienced educators, teacher candidates, support staff, substitute agencies, and anyone who steps into classrooms with little preparation but big responsibility.
