## Resource

🎧 Episode Synopsis (for notes/description) What if resilience isn’t something you “have”…but something that’s built—moment by moment, relationship by relationship? In this episode of Classroom Narratives , Dr. Joey Weisler sits down with Dr. Rob Martinez—educator, former superintendent, and author of Recipes for Resilience —to challenge everything we think we know about resilience in schools. From losing his mother at 13 to rebuilding his life through connection, mentorship, and education, Rob shares a deeply personal story that reshapes resilience as a process rooted in safety, care, and community—not grit alone. Together, Joey and Rob explore the tension between transactional education vs. human-centered learning, the dangers of toxic school cultures, and what it truly means to create classrooms where students feel safe enough to grow. This is a conversation about what schools get wrong, what great educators do differently, and why—at the end of the day— we’re never doing too much for kids.. 📌 Episodic show notes and resources ✏️ Rob's website (@ResiliencyGuy) and link to social medias ✏️ Recipes For Resilience ✏️ The Story of Sparkle and Shine ✏️ Dave Burgess: Teach Like a Pirate
