We interrupt our regular series about reading identities to bring you this PARKING LOT PODCAST!

Today we are sharing all about our past two Saturdays... Last Saturday we had our Phonics Punch Party! You can hear all the fun and excitement we had with our colleagues punching out our cards for phonics! This past Saturday we attend the 14th Annual Cotsen Conference! We share some of our big takeaways from our big day in Long Beach.

We love our little “parking lot podcasts” because they are just little snippets into some exciting events between the ladies and it’s just casual and having a good time! Wonder why we call them parking lot podcasts? Because we ACTUALLY record some or most of it on location usually in the ... parking lot!

Tune in next Tuesday -

Our Fall Series is all about Reading Identities. Our first episode is about our own readerly lives as children and into adulthood. #TuneinTuesday (hoepfully every other Tuesday) as we interview educators about their readerly lives!

THIS IS IT! Our SEASON FINALE! We are so grateful for everyone’s love and support. At this moment, we celebrated 100 plays of our first episode and 500 plays in our first season!

We have had teachers, coaches, and TOSAs join us in our Summer Series all about learning through Teacher’s College. For our season finale, we bring you “Workshop Learning through the Administrator Lens.”

Dr. John Staumont (@JellickJaguar), principal of Jellick Elementary, and Dr. Michael Hoon (@hollingworth_el), principal of Hollingworth Elementary, share their take on TC learning. Both were able to attend summer institutes this year so it was so fun to hear their perspective.

It gets pretty crazy in the end - we could NOT believe what they dropped!

Thanks for listening! Tune in for our Fall Series where we dive into reading identities.

We interrupt our regular series with a snippet called Parking Lot Podcasts! Yes, if you follow us on Twitter (@BtwnTheLadies), you know this is a Twitter joke turned into reality!

We just didn’t feel right starting the new school year without wishing everyone a Happy New Year! This will be the #BestYearYet! We are looking forward to another amazing year and we are SO excited to collaborate with our colleagues AND continue our podcast!

We are still learning about podcasting and always trying new equipment and new things in post-production to see what will work for kids! It’s been so fun so far.

Hope you enjoyed this Parking Lot Podcast (yes, we were really in a parking lot)! Lots of special guests K-12 and in all different roles!! Thank you to everyone who participated! Recorded at our awesome RUSD kickoff!
