March 14, 2024194. PATCHETT, MAAS, IBANEZ, AND MORE: A SPRING READING UPDATE
It’s time for a reading update! Get your notebook or notes app ready because you’re about to have a new TBR list just in time for Spring reading.

We’re running through our recent reads, some we’ve enjoyed more than others. There’s a little something for everyone from memoirs to historical fiction to comfort reads and everything in between.

We hope this reading update brings some new texts your way, inspires you to take action on titles sitting on your TBR, or reinvigorates your excitement about books you’ve already read. Here’s a pro tip - try a repeat read on audio. It will feel new again!

Most of all, remember to read for what you need…not to meet some arbitrary goal.

March 07, 2024193. DIVERSE VOICES: FEMALE VOICES TO CENTER IN YOUR ELA CLASSROOM
It’s officially Women’s History Month and we’re absolutely celebrating here at Brave New Teaching! While we firmly believe that we should be doing this work all year round, it’s still powerful to pause and have some intentionality behind what’s being celebrated this month. For us, that’s not only women’s voices, but also women’s issues, both past and present.
In today’s episode, we’re highlighting different female voices and resources that you can use with your students this month from poetry to speeches to film and more. Celebrating these voices from all different intersections of identity can spark new conversations in the classroom and help our students see beyond their own experiences and biases. This is definitely one to bookmark and share with a teacher friend!

Timothy Freitas, Master of Arts in Teaching, Secondary English Education A College-
Board-endorsed AP English Language and Composition consultant, Timothy has been teaching AP English Language and Composition and AP English Literature and Composition for more than a decade and a half. He has presented at the AP Annual Conference (APAC) and at the NCTE Annual Conference. He has been an AP Reader, sample-selection Table Leader, AP Question Leader, and member of the College Board’s Instructional Design Team for the current AP English Language and Composition framework. Timothy is a co-author of two of AMSCO’s Advanced Placement Edition English Language and Composition coursebooks. He has also been a consultant and professional development facilitator for multiple educational initiatives, typically working with underserved populations. Timothy teaches English and theology in Massachusetts at Whitinsville Christian School; before that he was a teacher at Blackstone Valley Regional Vocational Technical High School. In his free time, Timothy oversees The Garden of English— a website and YouTube channel that assists both students and teachers with planning and instruction. The Garden of English also offers the best live and online professional development for English teachers and departments. All of this happens while he works his real jobs: being a husband and father of five.

PD for the Garden of English is so well received that each time Timm or his consultants visit schools or host online workshops, veterans and new teachers alike consistently laud it as the most practical and best PD they have ever engaged with.

Whether you're looking to schedule PD, search through a myriad of resources, or find some youtube videos, you can access everything garden of english at www.thegardenofenglish.com

February 29, 2024192. 6 NON-NEGOTIABLES FOR EFFECTIVE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR ELA TEACHERS
How many times have you sat through a Professional Development Training and thought “This is not the best use of my time”? As an ELA teacher with a to-do list a mile long, there’s nothing worse than feeling like your time is wasted or you aren’t walking away from a PD session with strategies you can actually use to better your instruction.

That’s where I (Amanda) come in! In 2021 I stepped away from the classroom and have been working hard to fulfill my dream of being a professional development leader, specifically in the inquiry space for the secondary ELA community. I am on a mission to reshape PD to be personalized and impactful…and I think I’m doing a pretty great job so far!

In today’s episode, I am giving you a peek behind the curtain to show how I approach Professional Development sessions. I’ll review my six non-negotiables for phenomenal and effective PD that is anything but one-size-fits-all.

PD can be great and I want you to experience that! If you like what you hear, be sure to pass this episode along to your administrators and teacher leaders who are making decisions about hiring for PD. You can learn more about my PD offerings here.

Do you struggle to find a solution for unproductive student work time? We hear you, and we’re here to help with a new lesson plan rescue episode!
