Are you accidentally making behavior problems worse in your middle school classroom? In this episode, Shannon and Tammy break down five common teacher defense mechanisms—from lagging on lessons to fisheye syndrome—that feel easier in the moment but slowly wreck classroom climate. You'll hear real examples from our classrooms, practical strategies to use instead, and encouragement to step into behavior management with confidence. Want more help with classroom management?  We have a Classroom Management Playbook that you can check out in our TPT store.  This resource is also included in our ELA Core Club! Ready to purchase all of the systems in the ELA Core Club and have coaching calls with us?  Click here!  If you prefer to purchase on TPT, we offer a bundle for each grade level that's very similar to the ELA Core Club. The only difference is that it doesn't include the coaching piece (two calls and unlimited email support).
