Welcome back to Rebel Teacher Alliance! Today we pick up where the last episode left off, then get practical. We revisit key takeaways from our conversation with Sheri Schmidt, then jump into Fabian’s Articles of Confederation lesson flow: AI-made explainer with NotebookLM, image generation in Gemini’s Nano Banana, and a simple prompt-tracking organizer students actually complete. From there we build a no-nonsense rubric for meaningful PD, call out time-wasting icebreakers, and sketch what good conferences and staff days should look like: choice, niche tracks, protected passing time, and trust.
