85 | Student Behaviors Got You Down? Flex Those SEL Muscles (with Lori Woodley-Langendorff)

You know those days when student behavior feels like it’s taking over your classroom—and your peace of mind? In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Lori Woodley-Langendorff, co-founder of All It Takes and author of SEL Muscle Mastery: 6 Tools for Building Resiliency and Connection in Schools and Communities. Lori and I talk about what’s really going on beneath the surface of student disengagement and dysregulation, and why she calls SEL “Social-Emotional Literacy.” (Spoiler: I love that!) You’ll hear powerful insights into how we can spot the signs of student disconnection early, build trust without being a therapist, and teach emotional resilience through practical strategies—and even through how we show up as educators. If you’re ready to support your students’ social-emotional growth and feel more grounded in your own practice, this is the conversation for you.   ~Elizabeth   Mentioned in This Episode: Learn More about Lori and her BOOK SEL Muscle Mastery! https://www.selmuscles.com/     Ready to stop the burnout cycle?
