Title: S2 EP34 | What If Schools Were Magical Wonderful Places for Students, Teachers and Administrators? with Dr. Kathleen Corley

When I read "The Magical Place Called School" by Dr. Kathleen Corley, I knew I needed to share her message. Dr. Corley creates the kind of culture in schools that we all dream about. Her staff's goal is to prepare their students to do anything in the world as emotionally stable people. When a child is misbehaving, they look to what the behavior is communicating in order to give them the words to say what is behind the behavior.

Dr. Corley seems to effortlessly know how to handle all kinds of problems with children, their parents, and the teachers. Her 40 years in school systems makes it look easy.

I believe that all teachers, parents and administrators would benefit by reading Dr. Corley's book. It has certainly given me an appreciation and hope for the next generation of children. If every school district could be like hers, the world would be a better place.

Thank you. Dr. Corley for sharing your genius with the world.
