In this episode, Harvey Hazen and I discuss the idea of looking beneath the surface of students' behaviors to see the whole child. Our discussion emphasizes the importance of teaching the child rather than the curriculum, and the vital role teachers and parents play in creating an environment where teens and young adults can be their authentic selves. Join us as we uncover the following key takeaways:
1: Empathetic Teaching explores the power of empathy in education. Learn how understanding the unique needs, experiences, and challenges of each student can transform teaching from a one-size-fits-all approach to a personalized, holistic journey.
2: Nurturing Authenticity: Discover strategies for fostering an environment where teens and young adults feel safe and encouraged to express their true selves. We discuss the long-term benefits of promoting self-discovery, individuality, and self-confidence.
3: Beyond the Curriculum: Shift your perspective from focusing solely on academic achievements to nurturing well-rounded, emotionally intelligent individuals. Uncover the ways in which this approach not only enhances students' academic success but also equips them for a fulfilling life beyond the classroom.

At the same time my Wife was a Special Education Teacher. On the home front we raised two sons who were 8 years apart. One had diabetes from age 3 and the other was ADD. Both presented unique challenges. My degrees are BS in History/Education and MS in Educational Counseling. I also completed certification programs in Educational Administration.
