The key is to [shape new habits] not when you're in a hurry, right like to do it in times when you don't need it, and the same is true in a classroom is to practice that throughout, to not do it right then when it's super important that it be done.
Imagine a classroom where students thrive not just academically but emotionally too. That's the vision Betsy Kindall, Nicole Fairchild, and Stacy Moore bring to life in this episode of Arkansas A.W.A.R.E. They explore how shaping new habits and setting clear expectations can significantly enhance mental health in educational settings. The trio, with their rich backgrounds in school counseling, psychology, and educational coordination, share practical advice on tackling the challenges of lagging skills and mental health concerns among students.
They discuss how small steps, practiced routines, and stress-free environments can help create positive changes. Their conversation is both witty and relatable, making complex issues easier to understand and apply. This episode is a must-listen for educators, parents, and anyone interested in fostering a supportive and resilient school culture.
