The UrbEd Influence

In this episode, we tackle one of the biggest challenges in education today: classroom behavior management. Post-COVID, student behaviors have shifted dramatically, and traditional strategies often fall short. Join us as we dive into the Redirection Hierarchy, a structured approach developed by Drs. Mitchem, Drogan, and Shouse, designed to reduce disruptive behaviors while fostering self-regulation and maintaining a positive learning environment.

We’ll explore actionable steps, from subtle non-verbal cues to progressive interventions, and share how the framework was adapted to transform campus culture. Learn about strategies like providing explicit expectations, using positive narration, and implementing reflective practices to address behavior effectively. Whether you're a teacher or a school leader, this episode offers practical tools to create a respectful, engaged classroom and close the achievement gap. Tune in for insights, real-world examples, and proven techniques to level up your practice!
