In this episode, we dive into how educators can intentionally reset their classroom culture at the start of the school year. Whether you’re teaching brand-new students or welcoming back familiar faces, the first weeks are the perfect time to establish the norms, routines, and relationships that will shape the months ahead. We’ll discuss practical strategies to create a safe, engaging, and inclusive environment where every student feels seen and supported.
Quotables

"The one thing that made me a really strong teacher, wasn't that I knew how to build culture, it was that I knew how to sustain culture."
"Prioritize routines, procedures, and expectations that are the most important."
"Be comfortable with the reset."
