You might have met Jim Sporleder in the groundbreaking documentary Paper Tigers.  Jim is the former principal of Lincoln High School in Walla Walla, Washington, where he led his team and ultimately his students on the journey of becoming a trauma-informed school.  The work Jim, his team, and his students did was so phenomenal that it inspired the documentary Paper Tigers.  If you haven’t seen Paper Tigers, I highly recommend it.  It is absolutely worth your time!  A New Lens on BehaviorJim was inspired to shift toward a trauma-informed lens because he knew his school and his students needed something different.  He attended a trauma and toxic stress conference in 2010 where he was exposed to a completely new paradigm on behavior.“I always believed behavior was a choice,” Jim said.  He left that conference in 2010 with a new – and radically different - understanding of behavior.  He said it felt like he was hit by a bolt of lightning; he knew immediately that his approach to discipline needed to change.  Connect with JimWatch Paper Tigers on iTunes by CLICKING HERE.Watch Paper Tigers on Amazon by CLICKING HERE. Watch Paper Tigers on You Tube by CLICKING HERE.Find Jim’s consulting services by CLICKING HERE.Jim is the co-author (with Heather Forbes) of The Trauma Informed School.  You can find that by CLICKING HERE.Read a summary of this episode and access the full show notes at: RobynGobbel.com/PaperTigersOver on my website you can find:Masterclass on What Behavior Really Is (FREE)eBook on The Brilliance of Attachment (FREE)In depth parent course: Parenting after Trauma: Minding the Heart and BrainCLICK HERE to read about The Club and join the waitlist for the next time we welcome new members*****Not sure where to start?  With 100 episodes, it's hard to know what episodes to listen to first!The START HERE private podcast takes the guess-work out.  I curated the 10 episodes I think you should listen to first.
