In this weeks episode we have a conversation about something many of us face: addressing behavioral issues in our schools. There's a saying that goes, "If you continue to do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result, that's insanity." This rings true in our current approach to behavior management. Let's explore why traditional methods might not be working and what alternatives we can consider.

Does one system work for all students? What happens when the current system doesn't work for a student. Should we leave them behind since they "can't get with the program?" In this episode, Christopher Dresang and I talk about Multi Tiered System Of Supports or MTSS. MTSS uses data to help match academic and social-emotional behavior resources to each student's needs.We talk about the importance of this and why schools should start using it.

Is there a correlation between being in school and how competent a kid is? Should kids be in a classroom all day or should they be allowed to follow an easier schedule that lets them experience more life before they graduate? In this episode, Christopher and I talk about these questions and how schools could greatly benefit from integrating a hybrid schedule.

Why do we feel the need to prove people wrong? Often times, we try to prove people wrong when we aren't comfortable in our own skin and are seeking false validation. When we do this though we will always end up broken and cause more harm to ourselves. Tune into this episode as I talk about why proving people wrong isn't important and how your life can look when you are secure in your identity.
