This is the "behind the scenes" and introduction for my latest book, "Because Of A Teacher!" You can get your copy on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/194833433X?ref=exp_gcouros_dp_vv_d Here is the description from Amazon: What you do matters. You may not hear it often (or ever), but if you're an educator, you're making a difference in the lives of learners. And that impact has a domino effect. In Because of a Teacher, more than fifteen of today's leading educators remember the teachers and administrators who inspired and supported their careers. Through a series of heartfelt and uplifting stories, they reflect on their early years teaching, offering advice and strategies suited to first-year teachers and longtime educators alike. These personal stories offer hope for new teachers, encouragement for educators tiptoeing into burnout, and reassurance that the work you're doing right now will inspire generations to come. Because of a Teacher will inspire you to - remember those who encouraged your love of learning; - honor and thank educators who have advocated for you, championed your career, and equipped you with the skills necessary to lead; -reflect on how far you've come since you entered the profession. Endorsements “Whether you are in your first year of teaching or nearing your last, Because of a Teacher will remind you why you went into education in the first place and help us all focus on what is really important: the legacy we will leave with the students and staff we are blessed to work with.” —Allyson Apsey, principal and author of The Path to Serendipity “I would highly recommend this book to any educator I know!” —Morgane Michael, educational consultant and author of From Burnt Out to Fired Up! “Because of a Teacher is filled with voices from the field who remind us of the impact we can make with all students, even on our toughest days. If you are looking for an inspiring read to remind you why you went into the profession, this book is it.” —Jimmy Casas, educator, author, speaker, and leadership coach

Also, I talk about the practice of building a robust positive memory bank upon which you can draw gratitude when you are in reflective practice. There are some easy, proven ways that you can do this in order to build on your own well-being.
A letter to my children...that I actually read to myself, once in a while to remind myself of what's up. Also...how to hold two paradoxical thoughts simultaneously...and how it's more common than you might think.
In this host-on-mic (that's me) episode, I explore some of the science of trauma, co-regulation, and how our brain launches us into fight, flight or freeze. I also explore my recently released 21-Days of (Covid-Friendly) Kindness for any teacher, parent, or student to use for an online program or even in class to build a sense of well-being within the classroom. (Don't worry...we will have some interviews again, but I wanted to address some of the very big changes as they come up).

Featured on Access Hollywood | Instagram @thedopeeducator | I inspire | Educator | Speaker |This teacher has found a way to get his fifth graders pumped up for learning: He challenges them to create their own handshakes.David Jamison, a language arts teacher at Hickory Ridge Elementary School in Memphis, Tennessee, memorized the individual greetings from each of the 75 students he teaches. Classes are separated into groups of three and Jamison greets every student with their unique handshakes"It increases that bond with the students," he told "Good Morning America." "When you have that kind of relationship with a kid, they don't want to let you down because they know you love and care for them."Shelby County Schools shared a video of the handshakes on Twitter, where its been viewed 20,000 times."I was overwhelmed," Jamison said of the viral attention. "That was the key to spread more positivity."Jamison, a father of one, said it's his third year teaching and he's done the handshakes each year.It takes Jamison about a minute to do the handshakes with each group. It's followed by "Do Now" classwork, where the kids get right to work practicing a lesson they learned the day prior.The one with the most innovative handshake wins a prize from Jamison. This term's winner will be announced next week, he said.

In fact, she was recently nominated for a Canadian Podcast Award!I had the great pleasure of being a guest on Morgane's show in the fall of 2019, and it was a true honor to flip the script.We talked about the difference between walking through the world as a teacher vs a podcaster, what's changed in education over the last decade, emotional regulation in kids and adults, how to connect with anyone, and of course Morgane shares two beautiful chance encounter stories. One that is thoroughly moving, and one that is sure to give you second-hand embarrassment.Now, remember, we recorded this months before the 2020 pandemic. Given the current state of education and the uncertainty over its future, this conversation may at times feel anachronistic. Like we're talking about some distant memory that wasn't just two months ago.And for that reason, I hopped on a quick video chat with Morgane just a few days ago. We talked about the current crisis and how it's affecting her as both a teacher and as a parent whose kids are currently engaged in remote learning.That addendum will be available to subscribers via the community email.

There is a special discount code located here on Brian's website associated with KindSight 101, whereby you can get his amazing book for a whopping 40% off! As a child, Brian suffered from a debilitating social and speech anxiety. He was bullied and mostly friendless through middle school. Though he loved magic tricks, he couldn’t muster the courage to perform for anyone. Brian got a fresh start in a new school for 9th grade, where he met another student who was also into magic. Through magic and friendship, Brian developed self-confidence for the very first time. Founding his business at the early age of 16, Brian worked as a professional magician while completing a dual Bachelor’s of Science in mathematics and philosophy, achieving a 4.0 in philosophy and receiving two international awards for presenting original work. He was accepted into a PhD program for Philosophy of Language, but turned it down in order to pursue a career in entertainment.

If you are an educator, school administrator, parent, camp counsellor, or employer, chances are you've had experience with challenging behaviours. So often, we focus on crisis-management and behaviour-modification to attempt to make challenging behaviours "go away," but as we know, sticker charts and reward systems do little to encourage intrinsic motivation and, furthermore, do not address the underlying problems that cause the problematic behaviours. I sat down with Dr. Ross Greene this summer to discuss his Collaborative and Proactive Solutions model in order to learn how we can solve some of the most challenging school behaviours. Here are some things we discuss: The Four Main Philosophies that guide Collaborative Proactive Solutions: Kids do well if they can. Your explanation guides your intervention. Be responsible to the hand you've been dealt. Challenging behaviours occur when certain demands and expectations exceed a kid's ability to respond adaptively to their environment. It's a method of communication. The Three Main "Umbrella" Lagging Skills Flexibility/ Adaptability Frustration Tolerance Problem Solving Inclusion through the lens of teaching lagging skills and taking an empathic approach to adapting to problems integrating 100% of the time within the classroom for 100% of tasks **The Most Important Skill for an educator to lead with ** **A Step-by-Step Framework to Implement CPS ** Empathy Step: Information gathering from the student- "What is hard for you about_? How does that make it hard for you to ?" Define Adult Concerns: Explain and articulate adult expectations Invitation: Collaboration on a solution (having the student come up with some possible solutions to the problem and coming to a realistic, mutually satisfactory solution. "I wonder if there is something we can do about do that you can ? Do you have any ideas?" A Real World Example of CPS in Action: Dr. Greene takes us through a step-by-step example of the process **Dr. Ross Greene answers 2 audience questions related to: ** Teen peer pressure School-Family Partnerships Dr. Ross Greene's book recommendation: Sara Laurence Lightfoot's The Essential Conversation Dr. Ross W. Greene is the author of Raising Human Beings, Lost and Found, Lost at School, and The Explosive Child. Dr. Greene was on the faculty at Harvard Medical School for over twenty years, and is now founding director of the nonprofit organization Lives in the Balance (LivesintheBalance.org), through which he disseminates the model of care—now called Collaborative & Proactive Solutions—described in his books. Dr. Greene’s research has been funded by the US Department of Education, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the Stanley Medical Research Institute, and the Maine Juvenile Justice Advisory Group. He speaks widely throughout the world.

This episode is about the importance of building a connection with parents and families, how we can address challenges & some examples of ways to involve them in their child’s schooling. Parents are the foremost teachers of their children. They are an important resource and should always feel welcome at your school and involved in it as much as possible. Think of your connections with parents as a partnership where you are working together to support their child’s development & learning. A child’s academic success in school is greatly enhanced with these strong partnerships. Please keep in mind as I share my experiences & ideas much of it may differ to your school situation. Factors such as the school demographics, its size, socioeconomic background, school policies & procedures and the culture of your families all play a part in the home to school connection. I wish to be inclusive of all adults who are responsible for a child, regardless if they are the child’s parent or not, but never the less the primary caregiver. For the sake of wording for this podcast I clustered family & all carers together under the heading parents. Part of Being a teacher is problem solving, including situations where parents are challenging. The podcast covers a sample of strategies for these situations and various ways to communicate with parents. I am very grateful for the insightful contributions from Morgane Michael who reminds us of parent’s perspective Morgane can be found on social media @smallactbigimpact on Instagram & Facebook & @SAB121days on Twitter Effective communication is essential for building the school and family partnership. By working together, we strengthen the connection. Several examples are included Parents make a difference. Positive connections and partnerships between school and families, parents & teachers play an important role in children’s learning, development and wellbeing. Whichever methods you incorporate to build connections, the important goal is to keep communication between the parents and teacher open, to work together and support each other to provide the best environment and opportunities for children to be their best. Together we are better.

In my interview with Morgane Michael, host and producer of Kindsight 101, we discuss why kindness gets a bad rap; the research that shows how kindness and compassion actually increase creativity and productivity; how Pixar and Disney are embracing kindness practices in their work cultures without lowering their standards; how to counter the 'live or die' mentality of perfectionism and achievement; the contagious impact of kindness, affecting our physical and mental wellness as well as the dominant culture; how social media can be damaging, leading to depression and anxiety; how we can find ways to be more 'real' and risk being more authentic and vulnerable in our public personas; and why play is the antidote to perfectionism.

I remember a particularly challenging student I had who must have experienced nothing but negative interactions throughout his day. He would literally arrive at school buzzing and had such a difficult time settling into any routine. He was disruptive. He struggled academically. He could be very rude. He had a soft heart with rock hard armour and he would launch into fight-mode so as to preemptively ward off perceived threats at the drop of a hat. The cumulative daily burden of the chastising by his parents and family, thwarted peer-to-peer connections, and the negative comments coming from teachers and principals must have been a heavy load to bear by the time this boy went to sleep at night. It often weighed heavily on me that I could be contributing to his negative self-concept with my own demands on his behavior. I couldn’t help but think about the compounding negative effects of his mostly negative exchanges day-over-day, week-over-week, month-over-month, and year-over- year. No wonder so many of our struggling, at-risk students lose their curious spark and love of life by the time they leave us in Grade 12. So many of them have received consistent messages telling them that no matter how hard they try, they will never be good enough, never measure up, never amount to anything. What if there was an easy solution? Listen to this short episode about the magical nature of the 5:1 ratio we should all be employing to amplify our relationships.
