]]> Buzzsprout (https://www.buzzsprout.com) Justin Moorman and Katie Thornton https://storage.buzzsprout.com/vcxg5ga3dcpwppzfuikekl14r2c3?.jpg (Re)Education of Schools Podcast Emotional Resilience in Teachers Emotional Resilience in Teachers "I’ve come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It’s my daily mood that makes the weather."**

This powerful quote sets the stage for today’s deep dive into **Emotional Resilience**. As educators, we often focus on building resiliency in our students, but what happens when the adults in the building are running on empty?

In this episode, we explore why emotional resilience isn't just a "nice-to-have"—it’s the foundation of a consistent, high-performing classroom. When teachers are regulated and resilient, students are calmer, learning increases, and school culture is transformed.

In this episode, we discuss:

* **Defining Resilience:** It’s not about avoiding pain; it’s about the ability to adapt, recover, and keep functioning after a crisis.

* **The "Weather" of the Classroom:** Why a teacher’s emotional state is the decisive factor in student success and consistency.

* **Practical Development:** Small, actionable shifts—from physical health (sleep and exercise) to practicing a growth mindset and focusing on what you can control.

* **Systems of Support:** How administrators can move beyond "self-care" and move toward **Collective Care**, distributed leadership, and equipping staff to handle Tier 1 behaviors.

* **The Current Crisis:** Why prioritizing the emotional security of educators is the key to retaining great teachers in an increasingly stressful field.

**The Bottom Line:** We need to create systems that allow regulated adults to be a reality. Join us as we discuss how to walk alongside our staff and prioritize the human element of education.

]]> Justin Moorman and Katie Thornton Buzzsprout-19226688 Mon, 25 May 2026 06:00:00 -0400 1891 full false Building a Trauma-Informed MTSS for Behavioral Supports Building a Trauma-Informed MTSS for Behavioral Supports Episode 81

In this episode, Justin and Katie discuss the critical need for structured guidance when leading an educational organization through behavioral challenges. We break down the development of a Trauma-Informed Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) that is built on research, the law, and collaborative input from staff.

Learn how to create a fluid, working document that drives decision-making and provides clear professional expectations while remaining adaptable to student needs.

This Episode, We Cover:

***The MTSS Framework:** A deep dive into the tiered supports developed to manage mental health and behavior effectively.

**Tier 1 - Universal Supports:** Implementing classroom community restorative practices, regulation strategies like building reset areas, and focused attention practices for all students.

**Tier 2 - Targeted Intervention:** Matching students with specific supports such as trauma-informed therapy-based small groups, interest inventories, and counselor-led SEL lessons.

**Tier 3 - Intensive Supports:** Navigating formal processes including functional behavior assessments (FBA), behavior intervention plans (BIP), and restorative conferences for significant needs.

**Crisis Response:** Establishing clear protocols for emergency situations to ensure safety, proper documentation, and timely parent communication.

Key Takeaways:

**Rooted in Belief:** Building a successful system starts with a district or building understanding its core beliefs about students, as these beliefs drive every action.


* **Collaborative Teams:** You cannot implement this work alone. It requires diverse teams of competent individuals from different grade levels and content areas who are trained in these specific areas.


* **Continuous Revision:** This isn't a "one and done" project. An effective MTSS document should be revised bi-yearly to remain relevant and effective.

Walk Away Knowing:

Your MTSS should be a living document created *with* your people, not just for them. To make it work, leadership must commit to providing the extra planning time necessary for staff to follow up with students and communicate effectively with parents.

In this episode, we dive into the power of **Professional Learning Communities (PLCs)** and why they are the essential backbone of a successful **trauma-informed school**. 

Moving beyond standard curriculum planning, we explore how vertical, intentionally mixed teams can break down school "cliques" and foster a deep sense of **collective care** and **empathy** among staff[. When educators broaden their sphere of interaction, they increase their ability to empathize—making them better educators and people.

**In this episode, we cover:**
**Defining the PLC:** Why these monthly vertical teams are designed for professional dialogue, peer review, and shared reflection rather than just administrative tasks
**The Trauma-Informed Connection:** Why PLCs are a "must-have" for staff wellness, providing a safe, confidential space to discuss the unique challenges of trauma-informed work.
*Successful Structuring:** How to organize vertical teams (grades K-5, etc.) to strengthen school climate and ensure the "art of teaching" remains the focus.
**Avoiding the Pitfalls:** Navigating common barriers like toxic group dynamics, lack of consistency, or failing to set professional boundaries.
*A Roadmap for Success:** Practical next steps for principals and teacher leaders to launch PLCs, from choosing facilitators to incorporating "fun" elements like snacks and opener activities.

If you want to move from a school that just "does" trauma-informed work to a school that *lives* it through a healthy, connected culture, this episode is for you.

This uncomfortable tension between our values and our actions is known as cognitive dissonance, and it is one of the most significant yet unspoken hurdles in educational reform.

In this episode, we dive deep into the psychological stress that occurs when new research on educational neuroscience and ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) challenges our existing beliefs about discipline and accountability. When we realize that traditional methods—like zero tolerance or public shaming—can actually retraumatize students, it creates a "mental itch" that can lead to resistance or even rejection of the trauma-informed framework.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Defining Cognitive Dissonance: Understanding the psychological discomfort created by conflicting beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors.
  • The Identity Threat: Why shifting to trauma-informed care feels like a threat to our identities as "good educators".
  • Common Defense Mechanisms: How we minimize trauma or defend old practices to reduce discomfort (e.g., "Kids are just more sensitive now").
  • The Belief-Action Gap: Why our practices often lag behind our shifting beliefs and how to bridge that gap.
  • Strategies for Support: How to normalize discomfort in professional learning, use curiosity instead of shame, and embrace "both/and" thinking—combining accountability with compassion.

Shifting to a trauma-informed mindset isn't just about adding new strategies; it’s a fundamental change in how we view student behavior. Join us as we explore how to move from asking "What’s wrong with this student?" to "What happened to this student?" while navigating the internal friction that comes with growth.

We explore the shift from a punitive "rule-breaking" mindset to a restorative approach that focuses on healing relationships, accountability, and long-term growth. Instead of asking "What is the consequence?", we shift the conversation to "Who was affected, what do they need, and how do we make things right?"

In This Episode, We Cover:
Defining Restorative Practices: Moving beyond punishment to build healthy school communities.

Tiered Implementation: What restorative work looks like across Tiers 1, 2, and 3—from daily relationship building to formal repair conversations after significant harm.

Impact on School Culture: How shifting away from a punitive model reduces chaos in the front office and increases staff confidence in managing tough behavioral situations.

Launching the Work: Essential steps for schools, including the importance of neuroscience training, finding internal leaders, and providing safe places for staff to practice and even disagree with the process.

Key Takeaways:
Long-term Gains: While the shift can feel "jarring" or harder for staff in the short term, the long-term result is a calmer, more empathetic building environment.

Accountability vs. Punishment: Restorative practices don't ignore the harm; they provide a structured way for "offenders and victims" to reconcile and move forward.

The Pillar of Trauma-Informed Care: You cannot truly be a trauma-informed school without being a restorative practice-trained staff.

Walk Away Knowing:
Restorative practice is the heart of Trauma-Informed Schools. It is a lens through which we should view all behavioral MTSS work to help scholars develop the skills they need to be effective, morally sound citizens.

In this episode, Justin and Katie explore one of the most vital concepts for educators and students alike: The Window of Tolerance .

Join us as we break down what it means to be in your optimal zone of emotional and mental stability, and what happens when you are pushed into Hyperarousal (fight-or-flight, anxiety, racing thoughts) or Hypoarousal (shutdown, emotional numbness, disconnection) . We discuss why everyone's window looks different based on genetics, trauma, and daily stress , and take a deep dive into how this specifically impacts neurodivergent learners, including those with ADHD, Autism, and chronic pain.

We also look at the reality of being an educator. Discover how lack of sleep, lesson planning, and the daily grind can shrink your own window of tolerance, impacting your relationships with colleagues, parents, and students . Most importantly, learn how to shift toward trauma-informed classroom regulation, teach students "interoception" (noticing bodily sensations), and build a classroom of self-managing humans rather than relying on codependent teacher systems.

Episode 74: The Enneagram and Team Development

Host Katie interviews Justin about the Enneagram, which focuses not on what you do, but on the motivation behind your actions.

In this discussion, you'll learn:
What is the Enneagram? A personality tool with nine types that focuses on core motivations.
Self-Knowledge & Trauma-Informed Work: How knowing your number is key to better self-regulation and, consequently, helps students stay regulated. It also builds empathy by allowing you to look past surface actions to understand motivations.
Impact on Colleagues: Discover how sharing Enneagram types provides a common language, builds empathy, helps maximize individual strengths, guides effective feedback, and assists in delegating tasks for maximum impact.
Crisis & Conflict: Learn how different Enneagram types react in the aftermath of a crisis or conflict (e.g., Fives needing time to process feelings, Ones focusing on right/wrong, Threes seeking affirmation).
Leadership & Team Building: Ideas for how building leadership can utilize the Enneagram to better develop teams and culture, such as:
Utilizing Ones for building systems and organization.
Having Twos check in on others.
Tapping into Threes for vision.
Empowering Fours for creative tasks.
Understanding the needs of types like Nines, who may prefer leaders to make certain decisions for them.
The better you know your people, the more likely you are to place them in roles that suit their strengths and maximize their abilities.

Before we dive in, if you’ve enjoyed listening to this podcast, we’d love for you to give us a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review on your favorite platform. Your support helps more educators find this content and keeps the conversation going!

In this episode, we’re unpacking one of the most misunderstood areas in education — student regulation after crisis moments. Too often, we assume students are “ready” or “regulated” simply because the chaos has stopped. But rushing back to routines or avoiding potential triggers can actually lead to a cycle of continued dysregulation — for both students and staff.

We’ll talk about:
 💡 What regulation really means and what it looks like in practice
🧩 How to tell when a student is truly regulated and ready to return
⚡ Common misconceptions — like thinking “once they stop fighting, it’s over”
🚫 The hidden costs of avoiding dysregulation with students
💬 How to reduce staff anxiety and build confidence through modeling, support, and coaching

You’ll hear stories, practical strategies, and real talk about what it takes to stay calm, connected, and effective in the moments that matter most.

In this episode, we explore how packed schedules, state mandates, and constant pressure impact teacher wellness, student behavior, and school culture. Join us as we discuss practical ways to restore balance, protect mental health, and bring joy back to teaching.

TIME POVERTY

In today’s episode, we’re tackling one of the biggest challenges educators face: time poverty — that overwhelming feeling of never having enough time for the things that matter most. With curriculum mandates, data requirements, and constant expectations, many teachers are left without time for the very practices that improve student well-being, critical thinking, and long-term learning.

We unpack what time poverty really means in education and explore how it affects not just teachers, but students and families too. From the pressures of state mandates to the ripple effects of dysregulated adults and anxious kids, we take a closer look at how this imbalance shapes classroom culture and climate.

Together, we discuss practical ways to push back — through intentional planning, clear boundaries, shared leadership, and creating space for what truly matters: connection, outdoor learning, creativity, and steadiness. Because when we slow down, we don’t lose momentum — we build sustainability.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re racing through the day without enough time to breathe, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we unpack what it means to move students forward along that continuum, from moments of total chaos to controlled chaos to managed calm.

We explore what each stage looks and feels like — for both educators and students — and how our presence, predictability, and systems can restore safety and connection. Through real examples and honest reflection, we discuss how neuroscience and intentional practice help us regulate ourselves, set realistic goals, and build environments where every student can succeed.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re just trying to survive the “end-of-times” moments in your classroom, this conversation offers perspective, compassion, and practical strategies for turning chaos into progress.

In this episode, we dig into the importance of being intentional with reflection. From academics and classroom regulation to professional relationships, we talk about the power of owning your influence—even when things feel out of your control.

We also dive into the value of taking risks. Whether it’s starting a new project, shifting your approach in the classroom, or launching something as uncertain as a podcast (hey, we’ve been there!), don’t be afraid to try. Not every swing will be a home run—but every swing matters.

Tune in as we look back, look inward, and get ready to move forward with purpose.

In this special episode, Justin shares the heart behind our upcoming professional development series happening on June 18th and July 9th. Every year, educators ask the same pressing question: "How do we respond to kids in crisis?" And while it would be nice to have a quick fix, the truth is—there isn’t one.

Justin and Katie know from experience that responding effectively to student crises is 90% preparation. In this episode, Justin breaks down why the work before the crisis matters most, and why now—when students are out of the building—is the perfect time to build your team’s capacity.

You’ll hear what you can expect from the PD sessions, including:

  • Practical, brain-based teaching about the "why" behind tough student behavior
  • Step-by-step training to help your team create systems that actually work in the moment
  • Real-world insights on supporting highly dysregulated students
  • Honest reflections from two educators who’ve lived this work daily—and are still in it

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about being ready. Listen in, get inspired, and find out how your team can head into next year more prepared and more confident than ever.

Kelly explains what interoception is and how it differs from our traditional five senses.  We delve into how interoception plays a significant role in behavior, particularly before and after dysregulation.  Understanding these internal cues can be key to helping individuals manage their emotions and responses.

This episode is a must-listen for educators!  Kelly shares practical strategies for proactively teaching students about interoception and the incredible benefits of doing so. We also tackle common misconceptions surrounding interoception and discuss how educators can adapt their classroom management and structures to better support students' interoceptive needs.  Learn how to create a more inclusive and understanding learning environment by tuning in!

]]> Join Katie and Justin for Episode 21:  Hard Times:  Getting Through the Rough Patches.  We all know that not every day is our best, and that we will all have rough days.  But, what do we do when the rough days stretch into a rough week, rough weeks, or even a rough month?  In this episode, Katie and Justin will discuss how to recognize that we’re stuck in a rough patch, strategies to use to get out of the rough patch, how to support others through them, and what impact they have on our classrooms and students.  As always, Katie and Justin would love to hear your questions and comments!
