Sunday's Substack
Where the belief gap came from
A short history of how adults lost the room.
Every year I meet new teachers who've been trained to see structured authority as pedagogically inferior — then walk into classrooms that demand it. Here's how the gap opened, and why the fix isn't more empathy.

Have a story that could help a teacher coming up behind you?
Every teacher has a moment that taught them something. Sharing one could be exactly what a new teacher needs to hear. We work together through a collaborative interview where you control what you say and have input into how it's presented.

About the founder
About Professor Kent
Dr. Kelly Kent, Ed.D. is the founder of TeachReel® and the creator of Room 27: A Positive Classroom Management Curriculum for Teacher Educators™ andThe 3 C's PD™ for classroom management. She has spent three decades in classrooms — first as a San Diego elementary teacher, then supervising student teachers at The University of San Diego, and then teaching undergraduate and graduate-level classroom management at Sacred Heart University. Her 2026 doctoral research at Northeastern University examined the gap between what teacher-preparation programs teach and what new teachers actually face in diverse, mainstreamed classrooms. That research became the simulated-classroom curriculum built on The Three C's framework — the two anchors of the work she does now through TeachReel. She is a National Board Certified Teacher. She built TeachReel because new teachers shouldn't have to pay to survive their first years.
