#127: I met the King, and he asked me a question about the work I do with classroom management I was NOT expecting


Listen Later

Wait, did I just explain classroom management to the King?!
Yep. That happened. In this episode, I’m giving you a front seat to one of the most bizarre, surreal, and pinch-me experiences of my life — being invited to Buckingham Palace and getting to literally talk to King Charles about what we do as educators.

But more importantly, I want to unpack why it was so powerful. Not because it was fancy or royal or Insta-worthy (though…yes, yes it was). But because what I shared with him? It wasn’t shiny. It wasn’t new. It wasn’t revolutionary.

It was real.

The simple, human-first, practical work we do in our classrooms every day — the stuff that doesn’t come with buzzwords or fancy acronyms — THAT is what got me standing in front of the actual King. And I want to tell you why that matters. Because this episode is for you.

If you’ve ever doubted whether your small routines make a difference…
 If you’ve ever wondered whether this values-led way of teaching is actually working…
 If you’ve ever felt like what you’re doing is “just good teaching” and not enough to be noticed…

Let me tell you: It’s radical. It’s rare. And it’s working.

So, shall we roll the tape?

What You’ll Learn:

  • The wild story of how I got invited to Buckingham Palace 🏰
  • What I said to King Charles (and the curveball question he asked)
  • Why actionable classroom practice IS innovative (even if it doesn’t feel like it)
  • How teaching with clarity, consistency, and compassion is changing lives — literally
  • The empowering reminder that things like your entry routine are literally changing lives
  • Why “just good teaching” is more than enough
