What does it mean to be a storyteller in education?

It’s a bonus episode of Donuts in the Lounge! I got to chat with two of my favorite education creators, Mathew and Green and Dr. Julie Schmidt Hasson. We talked about why storytelling turned out to be an important part of our creative projects.

I got to hang out with Tiffany Lee, who is a School Psychologist in northern Virginia and a YouTube content creator. Thousands of viewers tune in to learn from Tiffany’s experiences as a school psychologist. She’s made videos about a day in the life of a school psychologist, resume tips from school psych grad students, what it’s like to be a school psych intern, administering school psych tips like a pro, and more.

On this episode, I chat with Data Visualization expert and one of my data heroes, Dr. Stephanie Evergreen. Stephanie has done keynotes and workshops for Fortune 500 clients, like MasterCard and Facebook. She also works with mission-aligned clients, like the United Nations, the Boys and Girls Club, AARP, and The Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium. She has three books and a popular blog about data visualization.

Grab a coffee and your favorite donut and let’s go deep on data visualization in Stephanie’s trademark style—authentic, practical, funny, and social justice-minded. Enjoy the episode.

In this episode, I got to hang out with Graciela Flores who is a teacher, content creator, and one of the first teachers I talked to while researching for The K–12 Educator’s Guidebook.

Do you ever wish someone with lots of experience in the classroom would open up their bag of tricks and talk about how they work? If that’s you, you’ll want to settle in and check this out. It’s like a mini-workshop on dual immersion instruction. It’s also a mini-workshop on practical data use, whether you teach in a dual immersion classroom or not.

In this episode, I got to hang out with Megan who was one of the first teachers I talked to while researching for The K–12 Educator’s Guidebook. I really like Megan’s story because of her drive to refine her craft. That’s really inspiring to me. She even has a surprise plot twist in her career journey that we talk about.

When I interviewed Megan for the book I wanted to know what resources teachers liked. Megan showed me a book, which would influence how I wrote the K–12 Educator’s Data Guidebook. Or rather, Megan’s relationship with the book influenced me. That’s because I saw how a book that was practical could fit into the tool kit of a highly motivated teacher like Megan.

Listen on to find out what that book was plus a whole lot of practical data tips directly from a teacher in the field.

I got to hang out with researcher, author, and educator Dr. Julie Schmidt Hasson! Here's what we talked about:
