    63. Stabilize Before You Strategize: Addressing Behavior at the System Level
    Apr 7 2026
    What if the behavior crisis in your school is not a student problem — but a system problem?In this episode of The Language of Behavior, Josh and Charle respond to a question straight from the NCMLE conference: "We are seeing behavior spike in the spring — how do we address this as a whole system?" The answer is not more programs or more staff. It is about stabilizing a flooded, reactive system before trying to fix it — using the people and resources already in place.Josh and Charle unpack why reactive, compliance-based responses keep failing, how one school dismantled a punitive behavior matrix and saw real culture shift by year three, and why incremental intentional change beats overhauling everything at once.Plus, hear details about their free Student Behavior Summit on April 30th.

  • 62. The Compliance Trap: Why Rules Alone Will Never Be Enough

    62. The Compliance Trap: Why Rules Alone Will Never Be Enough
    Mar 31 2026
    In this episode of The Language of Behavior, Josh and Charle tackle a bold listener question straight from their NCMLE conference session: "Do we need compliance when we work in a school system?"The answer is more nuanced than you might think. Josh and Charle unpack why compliance-first thinking ignores what students are actually communicating through their behavior, creates unnecessary power struggles, and prioritizes short-term control over long-term growth. They are clear that expectations and accountability still matter — but compliance alone was never the goal.Key takeaways from this episode include why only 8 to 10% of students typically drive the perception that behavior is out of control, how to identify your true non-negotiables versus the hills that are not worth dying on, why structure and predictability produce better outcomes than demanding compliance, how to reframe the sense of power in a classroom so that calm and relationship become the tools, and why kids want to do well and our job is to help them build the skills to get there.--FREE The Language of Behavior Book Study Kit: https://thrivingeducator.myflodesk.com/lobbookstudyDo you have any questions for the podcast?

    61. When We Feel Like We Are Falling Short at our Role
    Mar 25 2026
    We are back from the NCMLE Conference! In this episode of The Language of Behavior, Josh and Charle tackle a powerful listener question that hits close to home for so many educators right now: "I'm struggling to feel like I'm enough in my role. How do you know your own value when the job consistently makes you feel like you're falling short?"Josh and Charle get real and personal by sharing stories of going to work sick, skipping meals, running on five hours of sleep, and still feeling like it was never enough. Together they unpack why educators tie their worth to performance, and why that is a losing battle.Key takeaways from this episode include separating personal value from fluctuating performance, why your brain runs on a distortion loop when you feel like you are falling short, how healthy habits like sleep, food, and movement directly connect to how valued you feel, setting boundaries as an act of self-worth and not selflessness, and a closing reality check: ask yourself what you have actually done well, who has benefited from your work, and remember your value is not the problem — your perception is.--FREE The Language of Behavior Book Study Kit: https://thrivingeducator.myflodesk.com/lobbookstudyDo you have any questions for the podcast?

  • 60. Student Behavior Escalates When Adults Feel This Way

    60. Student Behavior Escalates When Adults Feel This Way
    Mar 18 2026
    In this episode of The Language of Behavior, Josh and Charle go solo to unpack one of the most important—and often overlooked—dynamics in schools: what happens to student behavior when adults are overwhelmed, fearful, exhausted, or unsupported?Using their upcoming NCMLE conference session as a springboard, Josh and Charle invite listeners to fill in the blank: "Student behavior usually escalates when adults feel ___." The answers are real, relatable, and revealing. From fear and powerlessness to exhaustion and a lack of administrative support, they explore how adult emotional states directly shape the climate in classrooms and schools.They also get personal, sharing stories from their own homes about missed buses, bedtime battles, and getting triggered by a tone shift—to remind us that we're all human, doing the best we can. And that awareness is the first step toward showing up differently.--FREE The Language of Behavior Book Study Kit: https://thrivingeducator.myflodesk.com/lobbookstudyDo you have any questions for the podcast?
