Power of Showing Up Teaching is emotionally demanding. Educators deal with student misbehavior, the attitude and struggle of student learning, difficult work conditions, and challenging relationship dynamics with parents, staff, and school leaders. An understanding of ?child and adult? attachment can help reduce these stressors and offer new ways to SHOW UP for their students, approach classroom management, and develop collegial harmony.
