Value Adds Value!

This is part 2 of our conversation with Stephanie Edmonds and on this episode we talked about the importance of co-curricular activities and why they can't always be tied to behavior and grades. Before you dismiss this conversation saying that kids need to earn field trips and other privileges listen to Steph's perspective on how to bring co-curricular activities into the classroom. She talks powerfully on how bringing the student's passions to the classroom can change the atmosphere and culture of the room. This is a challenge because to bring your the passions of your students to the classroom you have to build a relationship with them that allows them to open up to you about what is truly important to them. As is the usual for this podcasts everything centers around building relationships! We hope you'll listen to this episode and deploy some of Steph's strategies in your classroom!  Be sure to go follow Steph on Youtube!  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFsqeatY7gJGYLPYc-AXslQ If you'd be willi
