Teachers, tell me if this sounds familiar: When you first start teaching, it’s survival mode. Next thing you know you’re barking orders, becoming the disciplinarian. It’s natural, instinctual, understandable. But in order to avoid the trap we all fall for, especially with this new generation of students, we need to do what’s counterintuitive - what some would call “wasting units and falling behind on the curriculum.”

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  1. How taking a mindful minute with your class every day goes a long way

  2. Why building academic stamina is key to a safe and rigorous school environment

  3. What it means to integrate community into the curriculum and why it leads to high achieving students
