November 14, 2020125. Increasing Equity Practices: Featuring Andre Daughty
In a previous Aspire episode, I had a wonderful conversation with Dr. Sheldon Eakins as we discussed the issues of racial justice, equity and implicit bias. After that conversation, I was convicted to assess not only my own practices, but the practices of my school to determine the biases that exist. I didn’t want to stop the conversation there. This week, I have an amazing leader, Andre Daughty, as we focus on the questions, what is the starting point for a school or a district to create equitable practices?
Andre shares a variety of stories on how to:
Use Student Interest to Guide Engagement

Identify Multiple Intelligences

Diversifying Literature Options for students

And Andre’s YouTube Channel

About Andre Daughty:
Andre Daughty's educational journey truly began after hearing Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu state, "If you observe children, they will teach you how to teach them." That phrase shifted Andre's philosophy of education. By observing the students in his own classroom at the elementary, secondary and post-graduate level, he differentiated curriculum and projects based on his students' interests. His workshops and professional development seminars involve high energy, practical ways to use today’s strategies, collaboration and fun stories to help connect the content to attender’s lives. He enjoys inspiring all through workshops, speaking engagements, seminars and embedded coaching experiences.

October 23, 2020122. Teachers on Fire: Featuring Tim Cavey
Have you ever interviewed for a job only to find you were not selected for the position? This experience can be extremely painful and defeating. This week’s guest, Tim Cavey, shares how he overcame the disappointment, changed his mindset, and advanced to the next level.
In this Episode, we discuss:
The Key Aspects of Administration

Unexpected Challenges of Teaching and Leading

Tips to Balance Work and Family

And the “Teachers on Fire” Podcast

About Tim Cavey:
Tim Cavey is a husband, stepfather of two, 8th grade teacher, and assistant principal in Vancouver, Canada. In 2019, he completed a Master's in Educational Leadership degree that reignited his fire for teaching and put him on a new path of growth, professional reflection, and content creation. Tim is a firm believer in the growth mindset and advocates often for the kinds of informal professional learning that can be found on social media and in blogs, vlogs, or podcasts. When he's not creating content or spending time with his family, you'll find Tim hiking, flying his drone, or paddleboarding in the chilly waters of the Pacific northwest.
