Join host Lisa Hill as she shares the nicotine nonsense that happens during the school day. Whether it be in the school bathroom, classroom, or office, vaping and smoking in school happens on a daily basis. Seriously, despite it being illegal to smoke anything in a K12 school, there is always someone who sneaks a puff or a drag during the school day. Vice Principal UnOfficed website has moved!

Welcome back to "From the Mind of Jess" on the AWB EdVentures podcast network! In this second episode, your host Jess Hansen, a former school counselor turned school leader, dives deep into supporting students with anxiety as the new school year approaches. Jess shares the poignant story of Kate, a student whose anxiety was so severe she'd literally freeze at the school's front door, and discusses practical, empathetic strategies like pre-start walkthroughs and soft year beginnings to ease transitions. Later, she recounts the eye-opening experience with Jack, a student constantly ditching class, whose "problem behavior" was actually a hidden hearing impairment. This powerful anecdote highlights the critical importance of building relationships and looking beyond surface-level issues to truly understand and support our students. Jess emphasizes that while summer preparation is key, our ability to react with empathy and respond appropriately once students are back in the building is where we make the greatest impact. Tune in for actionable advice and heartfelt stories that will help you create a more welcoming and supportive environment for every student. Learn more at www.awbeducation.org.
