Captain ISS: From the Classroom to the ISS Room

What happens when a classroom educator answers a call they never expected?

Captain ISS: From the Classroom to the ISS Room tells the inspiring story of an educator whose journey leads from supporting students in the classroom to becoming a trusted leader in the In-School Suspension (ISS) room. More than a change in assignment, it becomes a mission to restore hope, rebuild confidence, and help students recognize that one mistake does not define their future.

Drawing from years of experience in education, this book explores the realities of working with students during some of the most challenging moments of their school lives. Through engaging stories, practical lessons, and encouraging insights, readers discover how patience, consistency, accountability, and genuine care can transform discipline into an opportunity for growth.

Whether advocating for students, building meaningful relationships with staff, or helping young people make better choices, Captain ISS demonstrates that the ISS room can become a place of reflection, responsibility, second chances, and positive change rather than simply a place of punishment.

Ideal for teachers, paraprofessionals, administrators, school counselors, behavior specialists, school safety personnel, parents, and anyone passionate about student success, Captain ISS: From the Classroom to the ISS Room offers a fresh perspective on leadership, restorative practices, and the life-changing impact of believing in every student.

Because sometimes the greatest heroes in education don't wear capes—they open doors to second chances.
