What If Behavior Is A Message Not A Problem
from Unlock Your Teaching Potential · host Jen Rafferty
Have a question for the show? Text us here!Today I challenge the default “classroom rules and expectations” approach to classroom management and replace it with a feelings-first framework that builds student ownership instead of compliance. I cover:• why rule lists often create compliance with a ceiling • how asking “How do you want to feel?” builds agency and student buy-in • treating behavior as communication while still holding standards Let’s keep the conversation going!
