170 | 3 Classroom Power Struggles You're Losing Without Realizing It

You’re not trying to get into power struggles with your students. But sometimes, they happen before you even realize what’s going on.

In this episode, I’m sharing three common—and often invisible—power struggles that can quietly show up in your classroom. More importantly, we’ll talk about what you can do to step out of the struggle while protecting the relationship.

If you’ve ever found yourself arguing with a student and suddenly thought, “Wait...how did we get here?” this episode will help you recognize those moments earlier and respond differently.

You’ll walk away with a simple action plan to help you stay calm, step out of the power struggle, and follow up in a way that builds connection instead of wearing it down.

Because this isn’t about winning the argument. It’s about keeping your authority and winning the relationship.
