    The Link Between Relationships & Learning

    Change Starts Here: Research Conversations is back for a brand-new season! In this first episode, hosts Dr. Eve Miller Ph.D. and Kim Yaris, M.Ed explore the secret to sustaining that back-to-school energy all year long by building strong teacher-student relationships. They dive into real stories from the field, including how a kindergarten teacher transformed a crying student into a classroom leader and why seeing students through a lens of love and potential—rather than their challenges—makes all the difference. Kim and Eve unpack the neuroscience behind why safety and connection are foundational to learning, sharing practical strategies like giving students meaningful roles, creating personal connection moments, and being intentional about building relationships with every student. They challenge educators to move beyond labels and see each student's full potential, showing that strong relationships aren't just nice to have—they're essential for opening minds to learning and creating lasting impact. Start this new season with fresh insights on the power of human connection in education. Whether you teach kindergarten or high school, these research-backed strategies and real-world stories will help you build the relationships that transform classrooms.

    Building a PEOPLE FIRST Culture—One Tiny Moment at a Time

    This episode explores how culture actually grows in schools, not through one big initiative, but through tiny moments that build trust, belonging, and momentum. Host Ashley Carranco talks with celebrated Keynote Speaker and Program Facilitator, Phil Boyte, about practical ways leaders can connect with people first, pace culture work across the year, and design simple rituals that make staff and students feel seen. The focus is on doable moves, relationship builders, and the mindset shift that helps teams sustain energy during the long middle of the year. You will hear the case for starting with willing believers, celebrating small wins, and protecting leader energy through intentional habits. The aim is a campus where people want to be, where community beats isolation, and where culture and values lead the way. If you are ready to elevate connection and consistency, this episode gives you a practical path to try this month.
