Get Your Teach On

Today we checking in with priorities and ensuring we have the time and space for the important things. We're talking about how to let go and prioritize, to make teaching a sustainable profession. How can you show up as your best self, accept there is no such thing as balance and instead, it's all about identifying what you truly value and making moves in that direction.

This week we are going to continue our conversation about Mindfulness Practices and how that affects social and emotional learning in the classroom. Have you ever considered the difference between sympathy and empathy and the role it plays in our understanding of one another and within your classroom? Sympathy is not just about feeling sorry for someone, it's about doing the work to try to understand each other. Part of being present and mindful is hard, and it takes work and emotional learning that we need to be taught, to be better at communication.

So many people see the word 'mindfulness' and disengage. Today we want to rediscover and reframe what mindfulness means, and how it can transform a classroom when it is used correctly and intentionally. Just because kids walk into a school building, it doesn't mean that their social and emotional needs are left at the door. In this episode we want to give you tips and practices that will help set you up to better adjust to what is happening in the moment, and show up for your students. We're passionate about this because we have seen, firsthand, the incredible effect that mindfulness practices can have inside and outside of the classroom.

Here is one from the archives! We have a very special guest on the podcast: Dr. Jody Carrington, also one of our favorite people EVER!

On this episode we're talking about emotions. Have you ever noticed how the moment you can identify what's making you feel a certain way, the path to solving the problem becomes much clearer? We sure did. Maybe you're feeling emotions right now that you've never felt before. Maybe you're feeling the same things but in new ways. No matter what you're feeling right now, we hope what you take away from today's episode is that the first step to overcoming these feelings is to call yourself out!

On this episode we're talking about leading by purpose, not problems! We love talking about the power behind your 'why' and the idea of teacher health.

How do you form a connection, engage students and ensure growth if all you can see are rows of black boxes? Students not having their cameras on during virtual learning is becoming a huge issue in the classroom. We sit down with Sarah Plumitallo, educator and ESL teacher, and talk about the pressure that students learning in the pandemic are under and how to uncover the reasons that children aren't actively engaging in class and how we can build trust with and between students in the age of virtual learning.

Today we're talking all about leveling up your teaching while focusing on your passions with our good friend Juan Gonzalez Jr. His passion: reading! Juan is a huge advocate for not only teaching kids reading skills, but giving them opportunities to love reading as much as they love things like watching movies or playing video games. It may not be an easy task, but once your kid discovers a love for reading on their terms, there's no turning back!
