Wait, did I just explain classroom management to the King?! Yep. That happened. In this episode, I'm giving you a front seat to one of the most bizarre, surreal, and pinch-me experiences of my life — being invited to Buckingham Palace and getting to literally talk to King Charles about what we do as educators.But more importantly, I want to unpack why it was so powerful. Not because it was fancy or royal or Insta-worthy (though…yes, yes it was). But because what I shared with him? It wasn't shiny. It wasn't new. It wasn't revolutionary.It was real.The simple, human-first, practical work we do in our classrooms every day — the stuff that doesn't come with buzzwords or fancy acronyms — THAT is what got me standing in front of the actual King. And I want to tell you why that matters. Because this episode is for you.If you've ever doubted whether your small routines make a difference… If you've ever wondered whether this values-led way of teaching is actually working… If you've ever felt like what you're doing is “just good teaching” and not enough to be noticed…Let me tell you: It's radical. It's rare. And it's working.So, shall we roll the tape?What You'll Learn:The wild story of how I got invited to Buckingham Palace

In this episode, Cheri Dotterer shares a replay of a live webinar teaching three powerful math interventions proven to help students—from kindergarten to high school—retain and engage with math concepts more effectively. These strategies bridge the gap between cognitive science and classroom practice. Cheri breaks down the interventions into practical, hands-on activities, including the Locker Problem, the 120-Chart, and Paper Folding (Making Rectangles). She also highlights real-world case studies and the neuroscience behind these interventions, showing how as little as six minutes per week can change math outcomes.**************************************************************************Products Mentionedhttps://disabilitylabs.com/courses/cwsbp**************************************************************************TIME STAMPS0:48 – 2:15 How writing struggles connect to math struggles.2:15 – 3:01 Introduction to Jonily Zupancic and Cheri's learning journey.3:01 – 4:06 Cheri's background, books, podcasts, and how writing is more than literacy.4:06 – 6:56 Early number sense: how toddlers naturally engage with shapes and numbers.6:56 – 7:57 Breaking the cycle of frustration and introducing today's three interventions.7:57 – 10:07 Research data showing how these interventions improved math scores.10:07 – 11:18 First intervention: Division is Sharing — Introduction.11:18 – 17:25 The Locker Problem — A math patterning activity to teach division and counting.17:25 – 20:06 Second intervention: Subtraction is Distance — Using the 120-Chart to build number sense.20:06 – 25:10 Third intervention: Multiplication is Rectangles — Teaching multiplication and fractions using paper folding.25:10 – 26:57 AHA moments and reflection from webinar participants.26:57 – 27:46 Why these interventions work and why you should try them.27:46 – 30:12 Course bundle details and how to apply these interventions K-12.30:12 – 33:21 Practicum, bonus offers, and course bundle available for listeners.****************************************************************************BOOKSHandwriting Brain Body DISconnect Digital Version: https://disabilitylabs.com/courses/hwbbd On Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Handwriting-Br...*****************************************************************************SUBSCRIBE and LISTEN to the Audio version of the podcast here on YouTube or your favorite podcast app.APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-writing-glitch/id1641728130?uo=4SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/5rU9kLxjkqJE5GbyCycrHEAMAZON MUSIC/AUDIBLE: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/894b3ab2-3b1c-4a97-af60-b1f2589d271fYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWritingGlitchPodcast*****************************************************************************FREE WEBINARSpecial Offer coming in March.

Many years ago, a wise principal once told me that good instruction is the best classroom management tool teachers have at their disposal. In Session 293, Dr. Todd Haydon joins me to discuss the practice of increasing the rate of students' opportunities to respond (OTR), which is an instructional practice that has been shown to improve classroom behavior. In doing so, Todd and I did a deep dive on his dissertation work, which culminated in the study, Haydon, Mancil, and Van Loan (2009). This study began with a referral to help students who engaged in disruptive and off-task behaviors. Rather than conduct several individual FBAs, Todd and his colleagues coached the teacher to increase the rate of posing academic questions to the class. The results spoke for themselves, and the rest is history. So tune in to learn how this practice works, and maybe it can be something that will help you in your practice!

Schools are caught between too much pressure (think: endless monitoring, weaponized data, and stressed-out teachers) and too much support with zero urgency (a.k.a. “We'll get to it someday”). And let's be real—sometimes, it feels like there's neither pressure nor support, just a vague hope that things will magically improve.In this episode, we explore the critical balance between pressure and support when implementing sustainable math improvement plans. Achieving widespread change and full adoption of strategies or resources requires skilled facilitation and clear role definition. We discuss how to ensure every stakeholder—leaders, coaches, and teachers —understands their part in driving progress.
