It’s bittersweet to say that episode 5-0 is my last one. 50 books - 150 takeaways - countless tidbits of information. I’ll be reviewing my own book, but I also share my new podcast rolling out called “Assholes in Education”. The podcast will be focusing on teachers, administrators, colleagues, and companies that are, well, assholes. This podcast will not be for the weak at heart, as I’ll be covering every type of person ranging from “do-nothing teachers who make their own schedules to make themselves feel important to pedophiles to drunks to the useless. I am not sparing anyone or any organization. There are some really terrible and superficial people and organizations in the education space, and I’m going to tell you about them. All of them.

Challenging students is almost a given in any school setting regardless of age or zip-code. This book take a unique angle in combating it by means of utilizing the whole brain for engagement purposes.

This podcast covers tips and tricks along with solid reflection for the reader on how to grow, learn, and move onward during student or teacher trauma.
