A frustrated teacher lashes out at a resistant student—now what?

Season 1 Episode 1: In which an overwhelmed teacher comes up with an illuminating -- and simple -- repair

Summer, a physics teacher known for her big heart, hits a wall. One of her students, Clarisse, is just not cooperating, and Summer's instinctual approach isn't working.

This week, we unpack how Summer, with her Teacher Support Group, came up with an entirely new approach to dissolving a classic power struggle with a resistant student.

You’ll learn about

  • conflict statements” that dissolve student resistance

  • a super-helpful psychodynamic trick called “making the flip”

  • where your Garden is and why staying in it is so important

  • how — and why — to collect emotional and relational data
