Show Notes:
In episode 70, I interviewed Brian Mendler (@brianmendler), an educator, speaker, podcaster, and author of books such as “That One Kid: Changing Lives One Student at a Time.” We discussed how to maintain relationships with students during school closures and what to do to support students who need extra attention.

About Brian Mendler
Plagued by severe undiagnosed ADHD and reading difficulties, I began disrupting class in 4th grade. I believed my peers would laugh at me for being “dumb” so I made sure they laughed at me for being “bad” instead. I was defiant, disruptive, relatively unmotivated. By sixth grade, my academic skills were so below grade level that I was pulled/kicked out of school.
During my senior year, I started gambling. The next five years were a cycle of lying, cheating and stealing to feed my addiction. In 2001 I entered recovery. I am now clean for 17 years.
Today I am a certified teacher, presenter, and international keynote speaker. I have co/authored six books, including the bestseller, That One Kid, Tips for Teachers, Power Struggles, Tuning Tough Parents into Strong Partners, and my newest book, Watch Your Mouth.
I live with my wife, who is a world-renown artist (www.reneemendlerart.com), two kids, and two pets.
