Cindy is such an inspirational, uplifting and positive speaker, the “Ted Lasso” of the teaching world. Cindy knows the importance of making kids feel valued, seen and accepted in the classroom and gives teachers the tools needed to achieve this positive atmosphere. Standards and content can’t shine if community is missing in the classroom!

I have seen Cindy Robinson in action and she is the real deal. Her insights, experience, and practicality make her an excellent coach and mentor for any teacher who wants to improve or enhance their classroom culture. This podcast is the next best thing to cloning her.😉

I was a principal of a six through eight grade middle school. I actually paid my teachers to develop community in their classrooms as a result we reduced our discipline problems and improved our state test scores over 400 points in two years. Community building in classrooms does work.

Absolutely fabulous! I can’t wait for the next podcast.

This is great! A must listen to for all educators!
