Abstract: This study examines the impact of anger control and zero-violence training on the prevention of violent teaching among elementary school teachers in Timor-Leste, which can have implications for the professionalism of teachers and the safety of schools. The quantitative type of research was used, where an ANOVA and multiple regression analysis were performed to evaluate the data set of the sample of 40 trained teachers in the Baucau municipality. The result showed that zero-violence training has significantly improved teachers' approach to non-violent instructional practice in the classroom. In contrast, the Anger-Control Training did not generate a measurable effect. These findings suggest that system-based feature interventions that focus on classroom actions and relationships between educators and students are more efficient compared to separate programs for managing emotions. This study contributes to the international debate on violence-free education because it points out the significance of evidence-based but culturally appropriate teacher training in post-conflict situations. Reinforcements involve the incorporation of zero-violence training in both pre-service and in-service teacher preparation, the establishment of continuous professional monitoring, and the utilisation of the program in rural areas of Timor-Leste.
