Building Educators With Wood

In this first episode of Season 2, the OG asks the question burning on our minds: Is anyone listening to teachers? How is in person learning going? Well... Also, we’re done with the martyr mindset! Adam Sandler released a movie for teachers! (At least, I feel like it’s a feel good flick for us in spite of all we’re dealing with!) Listen in!

The OG told us she would randomly pop up and check in during the summer. Find out what the ‘Rona and Racism courses taught the OG in summer school!

This is the finale of season 1! Lyrics from a Missy Elliot song give the instructional strategy this week! Look...I’m not trying to start nothing, but there’s a “Happy Madison” movie on Netflix. I hope things never go back to normal...

Episode 17 is a celebration for the 17 years the OG has been teaching! Here are my favorite moments from this season of “Building Educators With Wood!”

Happy “Teacher Appreciation Week!” Let me give you your flowers while you can still see and smell them! In this episode we celebrate teachers, but we’re taking the red pen to safety nets. Whatever dream won’t let you rest at night...go for it! Now is the time. Slash up that safety net! Do teachers have love languages? Listen in and I’ll tell you all about mine! Congratulations to the class of 2020!

In this episode, the OG tells a story about Tevin Campbell that brings this time of digital learning into perspective! Parents...the honeymoon is over. You’ve got a changeling! I know! Stop looking at that work thinking “Really????” Let me distract you for a bit with a Netflix movie.

I know that first wind of digital learning has come and left, but your second wind is here! In this episode, we celebrate SpEd teachers and therapists keeping the learning going for their students. Teachers, beware! Everyone isn’t offering discounts and free things. What do you do if you feel you are being asked to do too much for digital learning? Last, I’ve got a Netflix suggestion for all you wine sommeliers!

Instagram has their celebrity battles and some well known teachers are about to battle for their titles. Who will win?? Check out the battles: “Most Effective Principal,” “Worst Teacher Who Has the Best Transformation,” “The Extra Mile,” “Pulled A Rabbit Out Of A Hat,” and “Most Impactful Coach”

This episode is all about encouragement. Our new normals are sinking in and it’s different, but “different” doesn’t have to mean “devastating.” Let me tell you about my different spring break. I’ve been outside and up in da club. Here’s your tough love moment: Move! You’re blocking the SON.

We are all trying to make sense of our new normals. We’re throwing it back to the late 90s and early 2000s with our strategy for teacher shaming: Can I Live? My teacher bag is full of gold stars! Teachers, you are really going I.N. during this time. We play our first ever game! The movie suggestion is intense, but a great one!
