Tough Everyday Classroom Problems, and What Actually Works
A student keeps calling out....a class won’t stop talking during transitions...students are struggling to stay focused...technology and AI are becoming a crutch instead of a tool for learning...and in an already overcrowded classroom, you’re expected to differentiate instruction for students performing at dramatically different levels.
Sound familiar?
These aren’t hypothetical situations. They’re the real classroom challenges educators are facing every single day.
In this episode of Classroom Dynamics, I'm joined by Cheryl Abla and Lisa Maxfield, authors of Teachables, for a very different kind of conversation.
Instead of talking about classroom management in theory, we’re putting real classroom scenarios on the table—including questions submitted by educators—and asking:
👉 What can teachers actually DO?
We’ll explore practical strategies for:
📚 Managing challenging student behaviors while protecting relationships
🤖 Helping students understand when #AI and technology support learning—and when they need to step away
🎯 Differentiating instruction without driving teachers toward burnout
🧠 Building attention, focus, stamina, and perseverance
🏫 Creating student buy-in around rules, routines, accountability, and safety
👨👩👧 Helping parents reinforce these skills at home
Because sometimes #teachers don’t need another complicated initiative.
They need an idea they can try tomorrow morning.
