BP 3: The Problems with Punishment
Punish behaviors you don't want, Reinforce those you do. For any set of behaviors, you could choose either path - so why would you want to choose Reinforcement over Punishment? Because Punishment has problems, and I'll discuss those in this podcast! Show Notes

Often we use different routines in classrooms in order to establish norms. But what happens when the intention behind that routine is no longer being served? Show Notes.
BP 1: The Disconnect Between the Classroom and the Real World
Join Dr. Jon Westfall as he discusses reasons why students may not connect what they’re learning in the classroom and their real world life experiences post-graduation. We’ll talk about the performance-goal mindset, methods to push students to apply material to different contexts, and how we as educators must be comfortable with many moving pieces at once! Show Notes
