We’ve talked about building relationships with students. Next week, we’re turning toward the adults. What makes a school a place where teachers feel supported? What happens when trust breaks down? And why might someone choose to show up, do their job, and go home? Join Chris and Joey for our next CEC Live conversation: 🎙️ Who Builds School Culture? 📅 Oct 19 at 8pm Eastern ⏱️ 30 minutes We’ll explore relationships between colleagues, support from leadership, and how culture gets built through everyday actions and decisions. Start the conversation below: What’s one thing that makes a school culture feel supportive? RSVP through the CEC calendar and type GOING below! We can’t wait to see you “in the room”!

Before our next CEC conversation, think about this: Have you ever been told to “build a relationship” with a student when you felt like the relationship wasn’t actually the problem? That’s where Chris and Joey are going next. 🎙️ Is “Build Relationships” Actually Good Advice? We’re not arguing that relationships don’t matter. We’re asking a harder question: When is that advice genuinely helpful—and when is it simply not enough? Come ready to weigh in. We want your stories, questions, disagreements, and experiences in the room. 📅 October 8, 8pm Eastern This isn’t one to just listen to. Come join the conversation.

We've all heard it: “Build relationships with your students.” Okay...but what does that actually mean? And when a teacher brings forward a real problem with behavior or engagement, is “build relationships” always useful advice—or can it sometimes become a way of putting the entire problem back onto the teacher? And it also leads us to wonder… What makes a teacher actually “good”? On October 8, Chris and Joey are going behind the mic to ask: 🎙️ Is “Build Relationships” Actually Good Advice? Come ready to join the conversation because we want YOUR experiences in this episode. 💬 What does relationship-building actually look like? 💬 What can't a relationship fix? 💬 Can you care deeply about a student and still hold a firm boundary? Bring your questions. Bring your disagreements. Bring your stories. This one's meant to get us talking. Planning to tune in? Comment GOING below!
