Customer Reviews
Great show
Research based and so practical!!!
School Restorative Practices facilitator
Thank you for this episode! As a School Restorative Practices facilitator i am working to implement restorative practices across my campus this episode said so much and helped to keep me motivated. Implementation feels impossible sometimes but small steps make a difference
Amazing School Behavior Resource!
As a behavior interventionist I am always trying to improve my craft so that I can better reach the behaviorally challenging students I work with and better serve the teachers in my building. I came across this podcast and have quickly fallen in love with it! Tons of practical advice and strategies to implement in a quick-and-easy to listen format. Perfect for work commutes - no marathon sessions required just to finish an episode. I also appreciate the fact that Simon and Emma aren’t afraid to go against the grain when it comes to challenging popularly held beliefs about what does and doesn’t work in the classroom.
Plus, as an American, I would be lying if I said I didn’t think their accents sounded cool.
