Classroom Reset: Bringing Students Into the Conversation | Maureen Chapman & James Simons
What happens when classroom culture starts to unravel? Instead of imposing more rules, what if teachers invited students into the conversation?
On this episode of Have a Life Teaching, returning guests Maureen Chapman and James Simons of Cor Creative Partners discuss their new book, Classroom Reset: Improving Class Culture Through Collaborative Conversations with Students.
We explore:
•
Why classroom culture is a shared responsibility between teachers and students.
•
The RESET protocol for addressing challenges through collaborative conversations.
•
How student voice can transform classroom behavior, engagement, and relationships.
•
Why changing student needs require teachers to continually adapt.
•
The opportunities and limitations of AI in supporting classroom conversations.
•
How to move beyond rewards and build lasting student motivation.
The big takeaway: Every feeling has a function, every conversation is an opportunity, and teachers and students are all on the same team.
