If “I’m still talking” is basically the soundtrack of your classroom…we need to talk.

Because they know the rule.

They don’t know the skill.

You know the phrases:

😩“I’m still talking.”

😩“Wait.”

😩“Hold on.”

😩“One person at a time.”

😩“Keep that thought in your thought bubble.”

😩“Please don’t call out.”

😩“Raise your hand.”

😩“I’ll get to you.”

😩“Wait until they’re finished.”

And somehow…you’re still saying them 47 times a day.

That’s because knowing “I’m not supposed to interrupt” doesn’t automatically teach a child what to do when they have a thought they’re desperate to share.

They have to learn the skill of waiting, holding a thought, managing the urge to speak, listening, and entering a conversation appropriately.

That’s SEL.

🎙️And tomorrow on Unleashing the BISON, I’m going deeper into the nonstop talking and blurting—and what we CAN teach instead of just repeating the reminder.

🎙️Unleashing the BISON drops tomorrow.

Because your classroom doesn’t need more reminders.

Your students need more practice with the skill.

I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to fully explain what happened at VibeEDU last week.

But maybe this video can.

One teacher said she learned more at VibeEDU than she has in 20 years of teaching.

My former student stood in front of a room full of educators and talked about autism, understanding one another, and the truth that we are all in this together.

And that standing ovation she got at the end??? Well…turn that volume up and just LISTEN to her reaction! 🥹🥰😭

Educators, district leaders, and parents laughed.

They cried.

They connected.

They learned.

They felt seen.

And for a moment, I think everyone in the room remembered:

This is what school can FEEL like.

Not another initiative.

Not another behavior system.

Not another strategy we’re expected to implement perfectly.

But a community where people know they BELONG.

Where teachers feel supported.

Where students are understood.

Where differences don’t divide us…they teach us.

Where connection isn’t something we say we value.

It’s something we intentionally practice.

Because that’s the heart of BISON:

Be Intentional So Others Notice®️

School culture isn’t created by what we say we value.

It’s created by what we intentionally practice, reflect on, and choose again and again, until others can’t help but notice the community we’ve created together.

This is the work.

And after VibeEDU, I am more certain than ever:

We’re not just talking about a different kind of school we all get to experience.

We’re BUILDING it.

If you were there, I want to know:

What is one moment from VibeEDU 2026 you’ll carry with you?

And if you weren’t there…

watch this.

This is your invitation to the herd.

If you’re searching for classroom management ideas, or how to introduce classroom rules and expectations the first few weeks of school, start here instead.👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

You start with intentional Morning Meeting conversations.

You don’t teach classroom rules first.

You build classroom expectations through student voice, anchor chart visuals, and identity.

This is the exact structure I use in classroom management systems with educators all across the country.

1️⃣ What to do on the first day?
Start with one question:
“How do you want to feel at school?”
Then…
“What do we need to do to feel that way?”

2️⃣ What do you teach next?
Talk about the tools in your toolbox.

This allows students to start identifying how they’re feeling, and solving problems on their own.

3️⃣ And then round out the week by finding out what’s making those tough moments tricky.

Getting to the tricky part, and finding those proactive solutions together literally puts out the fires before they turn into chaotic flames.

I also pair all of these conversations with picture books for elementary and middle school classroom community building like When Sophie Gets Angry and My Mouth is a Volcano to make the expectations visible and real for students.

These are three of my go-to classroom management strategies for back to school, but the magic is when you use them all year long…not to reset expectations, or rebuild classroom culture, but to be PROACTIVE all day long.

If you want the step-by-step breakdown of how I actually facilitate these anchor chart conversations with students, I walk through them on the last few episodes of Unleashing the BISON…tune in on Spotify. 🎧

And grab my favorite anchor chart freebie so you have visuals to copy all year long. Link in bio

Your classroom rules aren’t the problem. Or the solution.

This is where most classroom management strategies miss the real issue.

We keep tightening expectations, rewriting anchor charts, and reinforcing consequences…

But if that worked, you wouldn’t still be searching:
classroom management strategies, classroom behavior management, behavior interventions, or how to manage disruptive behavior in class.

Because students can know the expectation and still not have the skill to follow through in real time.

What’s actually missing in most classrooms is the skill layer:
• self-regulation under stress
• emotional control when triggered
• impulse control in the moment
• attention shifting back to learning
• repairing after mistakes

Without that, rules just become reminders students already can’t meet.

So nothing changes.

Not because you’re doing it wrong.
But because you’re only working at the surface level.

This is exactly what we go deep into inside The Shift Experience…how to move from behavior management that feels reactive and exhausting to systems that actually build student capacity.

If you’re ready for that shift, comment SHIFT and I’ll send you the details to join.

I can hear the weight in your classroom before you finish your story.

Not the behavior.

It’s what keeps happening after the behavior starts.

The same cycle. Over and over.

Every time a student escalates, shuts down, or pushes back.

Because most teachers think they’re dealing with behavior problems.

But it’s really the same pattern repeating in different kids.

And no one ever taught you how to see that.

Most teachers aren’t struggling with kids.

They’re struggling with what keeps repeating in their classroom.

If relief is what you’re looking for, 🎙️Unleashing the BISON on Spotify was created for YOU.

A new episode is dropping on Monday.
There’s clarity if you want it…🥰🫵🏻🦬💖

Every time I see a behavior post go viral because it promises a quick fix, I’m reminded of something.

Teachers aren’t looking for more strategies.

They’re looking for RELIEF.

They’re exhausted.
Overwhelmed.
Trying to make it THROUGH summer without carrying one more thing.

So of course the easy fix sounds appealing.

But after years of doing this work, I’ve learned that lasting change doesn’t come from another behavior trick.

It comes from understanding the child.
Understanding ourSELves.
And being willing to do the deeper work most people skip.
🫵🏻🦬💖

That’s why the conversations happening inside Becoming the BISON feel different.

We’re not chasing hacks.

We’re changing the way we see the work.

For years, you’ve known me through different pieces of my work.

Teaching Inside Out.
SELebrate Good Times.
Becoming the BISON.
The podcast.
The conferences.
The speaking.
The coaching.

But underneath all of it has always been one belief:

When people feel connected, supported, and equipped, transformation becomes possible.

Today, I’m excited to share something that represents that bigger vision.

✨ KimGameroz.com is LIVE. ✨

This isn’t just a website.

It’s a home for the work, the mission, and the future.

A place where educators, leaders, parents, and communities can connect with the ideas, experiences, and opportunities designed to create meaningful change.

As I step into this next chapter, I’m more convinced than ever that transformation doesn’t happen because people get more information.

It happens when people feel seen.
When they find their people.
When they have the support to keep going.
When they’re equipped with tools that actually work.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

This is just the beginning.
