Are you feeling anxious about controlling student behavior this year? Are you stressed at the thought that your classroom management plan that used to work in the past is no longer stringent enough for today's challenging classroom behaviors? If these feelings resonate, then this week's podcast episode for teachers is going to be perfect for you! 

In this empowering episode, I explore:

• 🚀 Why classroom management is MORE important now than ever before
• 🧠 The mindset shift you need to take responsibility for behavior issues
• 🏫 How recent policy changes are impacting discipline (especially in California!)
• 📚 Must-read books to level up your classroom management skills
• 🤝 Getting student buy-in for rules and procedures (without losing control)
• 👉 The "magic" 3 C's for effective management: Calm, Consistent, Consequences
• 🎭 Role-playing and modeling to set clear expectations
• ⏱️ Why investing time in management NOW saves you stress all year
• 💪 Empowering yourself when admin support falls short

Plus:

• 🔑 The critical difference between rules and procedures
• 👀 A unique strategy for creating classroom standards
• 🖐️ How to use hand signals for subtle redirection

Remember: You've got this! Classroom management is tough, but so are you. Let's double down and feel empowered to handle it all with grace (and some grit).
