    Coaching & Self-Awareness

    Coaching & Self-Awareness

    Coaching is a powerful way to gain more self-awareness. Too often coaching is seen as punitive, or only something you need if you're new, or if you are struggling as an educator. In so many other fields having a coach is simply a sign that you want to be better!...that you want feedback and you are looking for progress. Today we talk about how to gain more self-awareness and some of the things that get in the way. Join our conversation by letting us know your thoughts! We appreciate every comment, review and rating!

    Is it Me?
    Feb 13 2023
    Is it Me?
    Have you ever asked yourself, "is it me?" when you're having a difficult time with a student or behavior management in the classroom? Self-awareness is critical to our ability to make the kinds of changes we're always talking about.
    Today we talk about the very real struggle of managing your own shame response while managing a classroom. Does shame ever override your social skills as an adult? It takes an intentional effort to respond in a way other than what is natural. We talk about junk behavior, like eye-rolling, and how to pivot when necessary.
    You'll be able to tell that we were recording virtually from our home offices during the winter weather. We'll be back in the studio with the GOOD SOUND next episode!

    Like or Value

    We were iced in with you all last week and we’re coming to you from our home offices! Today Betsy joins the conversation and wants some clarification on what we mean by “like” your students. For some people, maybe “value” is a better word because “liking” every single student seems like an unattainable dream. Has our definition of “like” changed with the influence of social media? We get into it. Join us!

    Attention Seeking

    Welcome to season 4 of Arkansas A.W.A.R.E.!

    How do you know when someone likes you? Does it take a lot of emotional energy or bonding to get to that point?
    "Every time you make eye contact, or you don't, your body language, all of it is relationship building. You don't have an option. You're doing it. It's not optional. It's not extra."
    Listen in as we talk about what it takes to like someone, or feel liked by someone, and how much that matters. We'll talk about power, non-verbals and cues for safety.
