Your students will forget the vocabulary words. They will forget the anchor chart steps. What they will remember is how you looked at them when they walked in after getting in trouble somewhere else in the building.
Edward opens with the Bobo doll experiment from 1961 — preschoolers watched an adult go after an inflatable clown, then repeated it word for word without being asked or rewarded. Nobody taught them. They just watched. And 60 years later, most school buildings still operate as if kids learn from what adults say rather than what they do.
This episode covers what students absorb from every adult in the building, not just classroom teachers, what happens when you mess up in front of kids and actually own it, and two building norms you can set this week that cost nothing and change everything.
If your students copied exactly how you handled this past week, what would they have learned?
