Have you ever noticed that classroom management feels SO much harder when you’re exhausted?

When you’re running on empty, it’s harder to stay patient, think clearly, and bring the creativity that keeps students engaged. And when engagement drops, challenging behaviors can rise.

Today I’m sharing why your own energy matters more than you might think, why another behavior chart may not be the answer, and how creativity can help you and your students find more calm and connection.

I’ll also walk you through my simple CALM action plan with practical ideas you can start using this week — without adding a ton of prep to your already-full plate.

Because you don’t need to be a perfect teacher. You deserve to feel more like yourself again, and when you are able to do that, your classroom can benefit too!

What does it really mean to be a trusted adult for your students?

In this episode, I’m joined by Brooklyn Raney, author of One Trusted Adult: Building Relationships That Inspire Achievement and Success, for a conversation about one of the most important things we can offer our students: meaningful relationships with trustworthy adults.

But being a trusted adult doesn’t mean you have to be everyone’s person. Brooklyn explains why the goal is to help students build a whole “bench” of trusted adults—and how teachers can become one of those people by being accessible, boundaried, and caring.

We also talk about why building these relationships is especially important for elementary teachers, how technology has changed the way educators think about student relationships, and why healthy boundaries actually help build trust rather than getting in the way of it.

In this episode, we’ll talk about:

  • What “one trusted adult” really means

  • Why students need a bench of trusted adults—not just one person

  • Brooklyn’s ABC framework: Accessible, Boundaried, and Caring

  • How ALL teachers can build meaningful relationships while maintaining healthy boundaries

  • Why elementary teachers play such an important role in laying the foundation for student trust

  • How technology has changed the way students and educators think about relationships

  • Why students may need trusted adults now more than ever

If you’ve ever wondered how to build stronger relationships with your students while still maintaining appropriate boundaries, I think you’ll get a lot from this conversation.

When you’re dealing with student behavior all day, it’s easy to feel frustrated, depleted, even defeated — and in the middle of all that, it’s easy to forget the student in front of you is a human being with something going on underneath.

Today, I’m sharing three student stories that I experienced just last week!

The one who never speaks up because they’re surrounded by classmates who seem to know it all.

The one who shut down in the corner of the room

And the one in the hoodie sitting quietly and seems angry the whole class.

Sometimes we approach the situation in the wrong way (like I did in my own classroom), but there are ways to turn it around!

When you give yourself the opportunity to pause and RESET, great things can happen both for your kids and for you.

I can’t wait to share more with you in today’s episode.

Because after so many years in education, I’ve learned that recovery isn’t just about doing less or removing yourself from the classroom. It’s about having protected time to intentionally step away from what’s draining you and reconnect with something that fills you back up.

And for me, that includes a little creativity!

  • Why “doing less” isn’t always the answer

  • The quiet belief that taking time for yourself is selfish

  • Why professional growth and recovery don’t have to be separate

  • What teacher-centered, hands-on professional development can look like

  • My simple R-E-S-T action plan for taking your next step toward recovery
