Description
Every educator wants to know how to get their kids focused, regulated, and learning, but not everyone has the time -- or patience -- to sit down and read all the research journals and books. Listen in weekly as veteran educators and practicing behavior specialists, Ginger Lewman and Eric Nachtigal share at least one practical approach to the systems, the research, and the classroom strategies in modern learner-responsive schools.
If you’re ready to truly meet kids where they are and then guide them to places they never thought they could reach, don't miss a single episode!
