I wonder if you've considered the stress an average person puts on their nervous system with stimuli like social media or any notifications, and now add being in a highly stimulated environment of a classroom. It's really enough to make anyone need a break, but did you know that one in five of us is considered highly sensitive and that these stimuli have an even greater impact on our reactions? Knowing that about ourselves and our students is really key to helping all students succeed. Do you

Have you ever wondered how a student might respond if we ask them to give us some time to think about changes that we wanna implement in the school? Do you think they would say, no, I don't want you to take your time? I wanna do school right now, or do you think they might have some understanding? In this conversation with Izaiah, I explore that question with him about the response to Covid. The answer was really surprising to me when he said, I wish we had just taken some time. It was really

In this bonus episode, I wanna talk about the idea of a teacher holding their classroom as if they were holding it in the palm of their hand versus a tight fist. As brand new teachers, we are in the process of holding our hand so tight around that classroom. We imagine that in order to manage that classroom, we have to be in control, and control a lot of times looks like holding our hand in that fist. I've recently had several conversations.

In this bonus episode, I challenge the ideas about student behavior. I examine how I may have contributed to the struggles students had in my classroom. I explore the idea that students can benefit from talking about the ways we all learn differently. I am excited to revisit the conversations I had with Kela and how she shared the difference between giving 100% as a student and what I the teacher expected 100% to look like.

Maggie shares that despite having dyslexia if she is struggling with something, she now has the confidence that she can do it. Just because she heard, “she can’t, she can’t,” through her early years of elementary school didn’t mean she couldn’t be successful. People, who will go on to change the world, do more than demonstrate academic excellence. Maggie is a high school junior who was unable to read until fourth grade because she was undiagnosed with dyslexia.⁣ She has never been one to let

Listening to her share about Tristan and his experience gave me several ways how I can be better for my students. Behaviors are ways of communication. If we only give feedback on poor behaviors we communicate the message that those are the behaviors we seek. The environment may be a challenge for the student to be able to learn.

I learned so much in this conversation with Abeer, a student from Oman. I admit before she shared the information about Ramadan, I had no idea. It is an incredible religious observance, and as a teacher who has students who observe there is an incredible amount of resilience.
