A co-worker insults your ability to perform your job well? Your student throws their book down on their desk because you did not call on them to answer a question? Your child throws a tantrum before bed? We all have moments of anger and our students or children do too. In this podcast I discuss strategies to respond to these feelings of anger that are natural and unavoidable, and ways we can help our students or children handle the angry moments that occur often.Follow Shannon Meyer, host of Learning Considered, to connect! LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ssmeyerInstagram: @learningconsideredWebsite: learningconsidered.com

"I have yet to meet a teacher who can get 100% of students to do their homework 100% of the time." Homework can be a frustrating subject for teachers because of the often times, lack of compliance of students completing it and outside forces at home that make it difficult for students to study. Instead of looking at how to get students to complete their homework, we should shift our perspective to asking ourselves what goals are we looking to get out of homework and can we find paths to these goals in other ways?Follow Shannon Meyer, host of Learning Considered, to connect! LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ssmeyerInstagram: @learningconsideredWebsite: learningconsidered.com

What do I do about the student who refuses to participate or doesn't listen to my lesson? Or the child who refuses to put on their shoes or forgets to bring home their bookbag?
