In this episode, Heather talks with Candace, a master at reaching students who seem unreachable. They explore what active engagement really looks like—beyond just compliance—and how sometimes the most unexpected strategies unlock the biggest growth. From standing on his head to earn cashews, to walking vocabulary lessons and Pokémon-themed math problems, Candace shares how listening closely and adjusting creatively can turn even the most reluctant learners into active participants.This conversation highlights the power of building trust through responsiveness, using feedback as encouragement, and celebrating the small wins that often go unnoticed. It’s a reminder that real engagement starts with noticing, adapting, and believing in what each student brings to the table.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.
