Listen "Classroom Climate Check: Creating a Safe and supportive learning Space"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Heather talks with Manny Huecias, one of TLC’s RBTs who spends his days in and out of classrooms coaching staff and supporting students. Together, they unpack what it really means to establish a consistent, organized, and respectful learning environment—and why it’s so much more than announcing rules on day one and expecting them to stick.Manny shares what consistency, organization, and respect look like in practice across grade levels, from kindergarten to alternative high school. They discuss how mutual respect is built when staff give students input into routines and expectations, revisit and reteach them throughout the year, and create structure without rigidity. Along the way, they talk about the impact of post-COVID shifts in teaching styles, how cross-generational educators approach classroom climate, and why clear expectations reduce disruptions and increase engagement.This is a conversation about the everyday work of creating environments where students can focus, participate, and learn—because when classrooms run on trust, clarity, and care, everyone thrives.Explore More with Us inside The TLC Network!Learn more in this episode’s show notes and join a vibrant community of behavior-focused school professionals committed to their professional growth.Join Our NewsletterStay updated with our latest episodes and receive exclusive content every week.
