Hi, again! In this episode, we dive into one of the most common (and frustrating) challenges faced by educators and youth workers - the student who just doesn’t seem to care. But is it really apathy, or something deeper?
Key themes discussed are:
Why some students disengage and what’s really going on beneath the surface
The critical role of the 3 core psychological needs: autonomy, relatedness, and competence
How teacher perceptions can shape student behaviour - for better or worse
Practical strategies to build connection, relevance, and trust
Real talk about labels, expectations, and the power of hallway moments
This conversation is a reminder that every behaviour is communication - and sometimes, care looks quieter than we expect.
