When you're dealing with student behavior all day, it's easy to feel frustrated, depleted, even defeated — and in the middle of all that, it's easy to forget the student in front of you is a human being with something going on underneath.

Today, I'm sharing three student stories that I experienced just last week!

The one who never speaks up because they're surrounded by classmates who seem to know it all.

The one who shut down in the corner of the room

And the one in the hoodie sitting quietly and seems angry the whole class.

Sometimes we approach the situation in the wrong way (like I did in my own classroom), but there are ways to turn it around!

When you give yourself the opportunity to pause and RESET, great things can happen both for your kids and for you.

I can't wait to share more with you in today's episode.
