Are behavior expectations slipping as holiday events, assemblies, and schedule changes take over your building? December can be exciting, but it can also be one of the toughest months for student regulation, staff consistency, and Tier 1 fidelity. In this episode, we unpack why behaviors tend to increase before break, what students may be silently carrying into the holidays, and how leaders can bring calm, clarity, and predictability when routines start to unravel.

If you want to finish the semester strong without lowering expectations, this episode will help you refocus on what matters most and lead with intention—no matter how festive (or chaotic) it gets.
