Building Stamina For Testing Season with Andrew Smith, Behavior Coach

Today Andrew and I are talking about something every teacher feels this time of year—how to help students build the stamina they need to stay focused, regulated, and confident during testing season. Because stamina isn’t just about working longer; it’s about helping the brain feel safe enough to stay engaged.
In this episode, we’ll break down simple, low‑stress ways to stretch students’ cognitive endurance, strengthen their regulation skills, and create routines that make long testing blocks feel more doable. You’ll walk away with practical strategies you can use tomorrow—micro‑stamina sessions, reset rituals, pacing tools, and the tiny habits that make a big difference for overwhelmed brains.
If you’re craving a calmer, more supported testing season—for you and your students—you’re in the right place.

Why Sensory Needs Shift In March

Students sensory systems are constantly scanning for safety, predictability, and balance/regulation. Seasonal transitions disrupt that balance in ways that show up in their behaviors. More daylight with daylight savings = more stimulation is one example of how seasonal transitions can have an affect on your students behavior. Today we'll also discuss strategies to help your students with their shifting sensory needs.
