Emotional Intelligence for Teachers & Students: Erin Tashian on Mental Health and AI in Education

Coach Jim Stroker thanks Native Nation Events for supporting The R Zone podcast, then welcomes veteran educator and consultant Erin Tashian, founder of Class Neighbors, to discuss supporting teachers and students during a mental health crisis. Tashian shares her personal journey as a classroom disruptor who sought better ways to manage stress as teaching changed with technology, constant access, and rising student needs. She explains emotional regulation as awareness and understanding emotions as information, emphasizes creating space for reflection and repair after difficult moments, and describes classroom practices like breathwork, gratitude journaling, and designing calming beginnings and endings. They discuss reframing thought patterns, metacognition, building an “owner’s manual” for wellbeing and blending human intelligence with AI in learning.   This episode is brought to you by Native Nation Events.  Please learn more at: https://nativenationevents.org/ You can find Erin Tashian at https://erintashian.com/  or on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/erin_tashian/ If you are a teacher or school administrator, please visit: https://classneighbors.com/   (00:00) Sponsor Message (00:57) Mental Health GOAT Tease (01:51) The R Zone Intro (03:16) Meet Erin Tashian (04:43) Mission to Fix Teaching (06:39) Erin Origin Story (10:06) Emotional Awareness Tools (11:54) Space and Repair (14:18) Disrupting with Breathwork (17:31) Beyond Mindfulness Buzzword (20:29) Reframing and Brain Basics (23:30) Metacognition and Self Talk (25:02) Agency Over AI (26:39) Reinventing As Educator (30:07) Lessons From Marc Brackett (32:29) If You Ran The School (34:36) Brahma Muhurta Routine (37:44) Rapid Fire Reflections (40:11) Silent Retreat Insights (41:52) Big Questions And Farewell Don’t forget to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE to stay informed about new episodes of “The R Zone” with Coach Jim Stroker.  Please engage… like, comment and share episodes with your friends, colleagues and family.    Coach Stroker’s unique gift to craft and deliver motivational and educational keynote seminars resonates with audiences ranging from Fortune 500 CEO’s to thousands of high school students throughout the country, as well as nonprofits, military, gaming associations, healthcare practitioners, and Native Americans.
