  • Such a timely, refreshing rebrand!

    Homeroom Attendance opens up a conversation about culture, trust, but also motivation. We’ve often misunderstood motivation as incentives, games, programs, prizes, but truly it’s about feeling successful at something. Excited to hear how these new episodes continue these conversations!

Do It Scared: How One Teacher Transformed Students' Lives
Q: How do you help an educator find their voice in a difficult school environment?
Start by clarifying their 'why' and their mastery goals, then map out their identity as an educator and subject matter expert. Build confidence through small, consistent actions, personal connection with students, and staying focused on the impact they can have rather than on external validation.
Do It Scared: How One Teacher Transformed Students' Lives
Q: What does 'doing it scared' mean in practice for students and educators?
