  • 184. Foundation of Skills: Featuring Matt Dunbar
    This week’s guest, Matt Dunbar, shares how developing the foundational and essential skills of our students is important for their future success in our local communities. 
    In this episode, we also discuss:
    • Relationships and Cultural Competency 
    • Professional Growth culture 
    • And the Vision 25 Model 

      • About Matt Dunbar:
      As the East Hall Administrator at Benjamin Franklin Middle School, Matt Dunbar works daily to build lasting relationships through service, authenticity, and humor. A 2007 product of Franklin County High School, Matt returned in 2012 to teach World History and Government to 9th and 12th grade students. In 2015 he began his work with the Franklin County Public Schools Cultural Competence committee and helped to develop staff within that division through self-reflection and deep, intentional conversation. In 2017 Matt received his Masters from Virginia Tech in Educational Leadership and took an Assistant Principal position with Roanoke City Public Schools at William Fleming High School. While at Fleming, working under the incredible leadership of Archie Freeman, Matt used restorative practices to engage with students and better support the staff of Coulter Hall. He credits his year at William Fleming with developing him as a clear communicator and confident decision maker. After having a daughter in 2018 he returned to Franklin County as the 8th grade administrator at Benjamin Franklin Middle. While at BFMS, Matt has continued his work with the Cultural Competence committee, helped to develop the division's Profile of a Graduate, and Franklin County’s Vision25. Matt is married to Kelly, a 2nd grade teacher at Lee M. Waid Elementary and the division’s 2021 Teacher of the Year. Matt and Kelly have a 4 year old daughter, Charleigh, 2 year old son, Palmer, and in June will have baby number 3!

                                      School communities are full of people who have both the ability and desire to lead. Some lead without knowing it. Most lead without the recognition they deserve.

This week’s guest, Dr. Joe Sanfelippo, shares how he made sure leaders around him knew their worth, helped them cultivate connections, and grew their confidence to help the whole team move forward together to thrive.

                                        • 177. One Tic at a Time: Featuring Britney Wolf
                                          This week’s guest, Britney Wolf, shares her experience with Tourette Syndrome and how she is helping break the stigma of the disorder, providing awareness to educators, and motivating others to provide validation to those who have the disorder. 
                                          In this episode, we also discuss:
                                          • Strategies for teachers to use in the classroom
                                          • The difference between complex and simple tics
                                          • And her upcoming book One, “Ticcing My Way Through Life”!

                                            • About Britney Wolf:
                                            Britney Wolf has one mission – to create an environment in which every person in the room feels validated and cared about. After being diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome at 7 years old, she made a promise to herself and to the entire Tourette Community that she would educate, spread awareness, and fight for the stigma of this disorder to one day be erased. Along the way, she discovered how to empower and motivate those around her because of Tourette Syndrome, rather than in spite of it.
