128: Summer PD Series 3: Empowering Struggling Students

The opportunity to put Anthony Swann and Ramon Benavides together on a podcast creates an emotional, robust conversation. Both men share their deepest feelings about how we can support trauma-inflicted and struggling students. This is the best education conversation on supporting struggling students available on any podcast today. 

• Empowering students and developing self-efficacy skills so they can take the skills from school and succeed early in the real world.

• Use empathy to help become an advocate for children.

• We must focus on regulating and helping our students be in the right mindset to effectively approach learning.

• There is a clear difference between being trauma-informed and trauma-responsive

• If you want students to feel supported by you, take the time to listen.  Listen, not just on a superficial level.

• Be empathetic and give them time. Giving someone time is more valuable than anything else.

• Children don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.
