WTBOTT Season 2 Episode #26: The Kid Whisperer: Behavior Management For Real Classrooms, Teachers, and Kids

Will This Be On The Test? Teacher Pod

You know how you sit in PD workshops, thinking about how completely out of touch the presenter is with what really takes place in a classroom? You even wonder if they've actually ever taught in a real classroom-or if they did, for how long.

So you might be thinking, "Ugh, are they really having a behavior management 'expert' on the podcast? Who needs more of that crap!"

We get it.

But...and we promise you, this isn't BS...this is different. For real.

We interviewed Scott Ervin, of Ervin Educational Consulting, a.k.a "The Kid Whisperer." Scott not only taught (as well as held positions as an administrator and discipline specialist) in urban districts for 10 years; he requested the toughest kids, year after year. And found ways to related to them, to address discipline challenges, and to teach. And when you hear his strategies, you'll be nodding your head, because they are actionable, and they make sense. He's also written a book, "The Classroom Behavior Manual: How To Build Relationships with Students, Share Control, and Teach Positive Behaviors," that gives teachers common sense tactics to put in place. If you've pondered, during these difficult times, how you can possibly get some control over your class(es), give this episode a listen. You can thank us later.

Thanks to Max Siskind, of the "Max and Maks in the Morning" podcast, for voicing our intro.
