In this episode, Alex tackles a classroom challenge that sounds simple but rarely feels easy: walking in line. Getting young students from point A to point B can quickly become chaotic, especially during transitions and hallway travel. Alex shares practical ways to teach line expectations, reduce struggles, and make travel time calmer and more manageable.

✨ You’ll learn:

• Why walking in line is a skill that needs to be explicitly taught
• How to practice line routines before expecting success in the hallway
• Simple engagement strategies to make transitions smoother
• Easy hallway prompts that keep students focused and calm

💡 This episode will help you rethink travel time with your students so they feel less chaotic and much easier to manage.
