Lessons That Last
Calm, Compassion, and Quick Sand
Is all student behavior purposeful? Do relationships really come first? Sometimes these "truths" are a little twisted. In this episode, Julie and Laura talk about the power of being calm and compassionate when students test our patience. Chandra's story about Mr. Brennan is the focus of the episode, and it's a beautiful reminder of the power of modeling self-regulation. If you've been thinking about student-teacher relationships and high expectations, this episode is for you. And, why did those 80's movies have so much quick sand?
You can find Chandra's story (and all the stories we share on the pod) in the Lessons That Last book, It's available at your favorite bookseller. Check it out on Amazon here: https://bit.ly/3OiZr38
