Back to Episodes108 | For Teachers Who Dread Partner Work: Let’s Talk Student Relationships
Description
Do you tense up every time it’s time for partner work or group work?
The hurt feelings, the drama, the behavior issues—it can make even the best lesson feel exhausting.
In this episode, I’m talking about student-to-student relationships and why they play a much bigger role in classroom behavior than we often realize. While teacher–student relationships matter, peer-to-peer relationships are often the missing piece behind stressful group work, exclusion, and social conflict.
If you’re tired of managing group work drama and want your classroom to run more smoothly, this episode will help you rethink what’s really going on—and where to focus your energy.
