Not all behavior supports are created equal—and some do more harm than good. In this episode, Charle and Joshua dive into the listener question: “What behavior supports most influence student learning?” Using John Hattie’s research as a foundation, they unpack the true academic impact of practices like in-school and out-of-school suspension, the over-identification of students for special education, and common misperceptions around ADHD and behavior.

This episode challenges the traditional narratives around discipline and learning, revealing how certain strategies can unintentionally widen academic gaps. Charle and Josh offer practical, proactive solutions to replace harmful approaches with ones that foster equity, growth, and connection. If you're wondering how to align your behavior strategies with what actually improves learning outcomes—this episode is for you!
