It’s a new school year and With it comes a new season of the Grounded Learners Guild! Season 3… I know, can you believe it?! So what topic is first up in the GLG line up? As we are jumping into new routines, you included, and getting to know many new faces, this episode, jam-packed with Casey’s Mary Poppins bag of strategies, you’ll surely take away a ton you can apply!

How many of us steel ourselves for something appallingly outdated or unhealthy every time someone begins a sentence with “Well, when I was in school…”
Truth is, when a lot of us were in school, the ways we were taught and disciplined were formulated without the understanding of child/adolescent psychology needed to connect our actions to the consequences that resulted, much less to learn from it.  The good news is, practices evolve, and now we have restorative practices. How do you start? How do you explain it to non-educators? You’ve come to the right place.
