Episode Notes

In this warm and candid conversation, Kyle, Jen, and Stuart welcome Dawn—one of Vermont’s Teachers of the Year—to reflect on two decades in middle school classrooms. Together, they explore how the modern emphasis on teacher-student relationships differs from traditional models, the emotional weight of holding space for disregulated students, and the fine line between mentorship and friendship. From reimagining middle school as a “kibbutz”-style learning community to embracing hope through local advocacy, this episode invites educators and caregivers to rethink what truly matters at this pivotal stage of development.
