Do you have kids you struggle to reach? I do! Do you have kids who you think are acting out just for the attention? Me too! How do you connect with students when you're struggling to fit it all in? It can be done. That is the topic of today's show.

From Episode 897 of the 10 Minute Teacher Podcast.</figcaption></figure>

Back when I first started teaching, I thought the key to success was the perfect lesson plan. Over time, I realized something deeper. Kids need connection to learn. You truly have to relate to educate, as I often say.

In this episode, Dr. Lucy Lambert-Guesnard, a 50-year veteran educator, shares stories and strategies to help us reach every child—especially the ones who seem unreachable. Whether you're a new teacher or a seasoned pro, this episode is packed with wisdom you can use right now in your classroom.
