Have you ever wondered how to set your school up for success? How to create the kind of school climate that encourages everyone to be at their best? In this episode, Dr. Julie Causton and I pull apart the concept of inclusion- what it is and what it isn't. We tease out 5 important "heartiest" principles that can enable any team to start the year off right. Finally, we explore proven strategies and tips for "restorying" our students in such a way that we encourage them to operate from their strengths. This is a gold-mine for any parent or teacher looking for positive results. Enjoy!
