5: Mr. Rogers, Student Contracts, and Behavior as Communication with Michelle S.
Episode description
In this episode, you'll be listening in on my wonderful chat with Michelle Solberg, an elementary school teacher and counselor with over 42 years of experience. That wealth of experience shines here because I feel like every sentence that Michelle shares is full of gold for the classroom teacher. When listening to Michelle, I couldn't help but think of one of my personal all time heroes, Fred Rogers from Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, who we actually talk about a bit in this episode. Like Fred, she specializes in seeing from the vantage point of the students and emphasizes inviting them to exercise their own agency, as well as sharing with us some creative ways to grab student attention and encourage him to open up. You won't want to miss a minute!
