Ep. 15 | RESPECT LEADS TO RESPECT | feat. James Moffett

ESSDACK EDventure Cast

James is the principal of Derby Hills Elementary School in Derby, Kansas. Throughout his career, Moffett has taught various demographic groups, observing the differences and similarities in effective instructional and behavioral strategies. Ultimately, James realized what we all know meaningful relationships enhance behavior and academic success. He often threw around the words “grit” and “perseverance” but after viewing the movie documenting Jim Sporleder’s work in Washington Paper Tigers, it came full circle. Since then, James has worked to create a trauma-informed and trauma-responsive environment at Derby Hills, encompassing safe spots, mindfulness, self-regulation, and an explicit SEL curriculum.
