We're back for Season 4! Yes, *we* — on this episode, Jacob Bruno interviews our new co-host, Kailey Rhodes, about how to establish a real rapport with your students and build a classroom culture where they can trust and thrive. The first step? Ask your kids how they want the class to work for them, and be honest about what you expect in return. Kids can smell inauthenticity. Plus: Tips for when to step in to kids' conflicts with each other, the utility of unicorns and mermaids, and a google-form for hair-adjacent encouragement.
We're so excited to have you back with us this season as we talk about putting big ideas to work in the classroom. Each episode will have experts form the classroom and pros from NWEA's learning and improvement services team sharing what's working for teachers and schools around the country right now.
