This Teacher Heals Her Inner Pain and Transforms the Classroom from the Inside Out

When Sandra Therrell began her teaching career three years ago, she intentionally chose an urban, low-income school. Having grown up in this environment herself, Sandra wanted to reach children experiencing the same challenges she faced as a child.

In her second year of teaching, Sandra began implementing Conscious Discipline. She started with the structures and routines. Although the classroom was filled with colorful, cheerful “stuff,” Sandra and her students still struggled.

Wanting to do better, Sandra fully committed herself to the Conscious Discipline journey. She focused on shifting her perception and developing inner awareness. In this video, Sandra shares the powerful successes both she and her students experienced as a result. Join Sandra in learning that real, lasting transformation starts from within.
