    Have you ever wondered what your students really think when they see you walk into the classroom—especially on one of those “bad hair” days? In this episode, Dr. Gina Pepin shares a lighthearted yet meaningful story about the day a student said her hair looked like a goat, launching a candid conversation about the powerful role perception plays in education. With warmth and humor, Dr. Pepin explores how students form impressions of us—based not just on how we look, but how we connect, communicate, and care.

    Tune in for practical insights, engaging anecdotes, and heartfelt reminders that in education, relationships come before results. And remember: even if your hair has a mind of its own, you’re making a difference every single day.

    Listen now and find out how your students’ perceptions can transform your approach to teaching!

    Dr. Gina Pepin returns with another classroom story guaranteed to make you smile! If you think being bilingual is impressive, wait till you meet Michael—he reads and writes only in cursive, thanks to Dad’s legacy. In this episode, you’ll laugh and reflect on how our students’ experiences with literacy can be as diverse—and curly—as their handwriting.

    Join Dr. Pepin for a heartfelt reminder that the quirks our students bring to class are windows into their family histories—and into the joyful, unexpected lessons we get to learn right alongside them.
