In this Have a Life Teaching Podcast episode, we speak with Maureen Chapman and James Simons of Core Creative Partners about their new book, Leaders of the Class.

We explore how motivation, perseverance, communication, and collaboration can be intentionally taught alongside academic content—especially at the secondary level.

Our guests share powerful stories about helping schools rebuild joy post-pandemic, why adolescents need more opportunities to reflect and lead, and how routines like goal setting, emotional awareness, perseverance strategy banks, and structured collaboration can transform classroom culture.

Most importantly, we discuss how this work supports equity, belonging, and agency—ensuring every student, especially those who feel disconnected, develops the skills and confidence to thrive in school and beyond.
