  • 6 insights on why JOY is a necessity for learning
    This episode we talk about the research on joy: How does it improve learning? How does it influence psychological safety? Most of all, what are simple strategies any educator can use to add more joy (without compromising instruction). We'll also explore what "AF" means in the Shelby household, Chase's go-to karaoke song, and what's happening to recess time in America.Our Sponsor

  • How "emotion prejudice" affects teaching and parenthood
    This week, we tackle the idea of "emotion prejudice" -- how we are biased to allow, experience, and support kids through some emotions but not others. What emotion do we struggle to feel? What emotions do we allow your kids to feel? Is that kid showing "defiance" or just "unregulated anger"? And, what are the best prime deals? Explore these topics and many more with us. Our Sponsor
