Tell takes us down memory lane with tales of sibling comparison and the nerves of the first day of school, while Gabe shares some sincere facts about changing and growing with each academic year. The crew also talks about unique icebreakers and classroom rules-setting techniques that foster student engagement and relationship-building from day one.
