Are you noticing all this yapping about empathy (empty) is largely a buzz word for enabling? True empathy is, well, empathy. The fake stuff is “It’s OK honey…” Are you seeing even fake empathy applied to teachers? Hmmm…

We can’t have classroom management without taking care of ourselves first. Rest. Even if it’s for 2 minutes. We close our eyes and reset.

Start each class with a few seconds of stillness. It takes consistent practice. Most students will blurt something silly out after about 4 seconds. Expect it and smile. After time is up ask students to notice what they were doing during that time. No shame. Notice and strive to be more still next.

2. Close the eyes.
3. Long exhales to bring in the calming chemical acetylcholine.

Got dread? Picture yourself having a great day. Managing all the yuk makes for a successful day.
