In this episode, we enjoyed talking to Kailey from The Balanced Educator Podcast. She is a breath of fresh air when it comes to learning and understanding the vital role that co-regulation plays in teaching and student learning.
If you’ve ever wondered how to start effectively co-regulating with your students, you will want to listen to what Kailey has to share.
We unpack:
