Get Your Teach On

If you missed our last episode with Shivy Brooks (Episode 3!), you might not know how incredible this guy is! Today we wanted to dive into the conversation surrounding race once again. But instead of asking ourselves when it's the right time to talk about race, we're asking how we can best engage in the conversation. It's time to get UNCOMFORTABLE, because that's the only way we will start to see a change!

Hey y'all! With Thanksgiving coming up, we're putting aside some time to be with family and friends. Before we return to regularly scheduled programming, we wanted to share with you an episode of the Rise Together Podcast, hosted by our good friend Dave Hollis. Earlier this year, Dave st down with Dr. Linda Cliatt-Wayman to talk about her experiences in education.

When Dr. Wayman, a lifelong educator, took over at Strawberry Mansion, it had recently been named in the news as one of the most dangerous schools in America. In less than a year, she had turned the school around using a mix of no-nonsense pragmatism and radical empathy, successfully raising test scores and literacy rates year over year, as well as fostering community with her students. Now, she's bringing her unique approach and incredible wisdom to the podcast to talk about how to reach kids that everyone else has written off, and how you can apply these lessons to hard conversations with your own kids.

If you'd like to hear more courageous conversations happening over at the Rise Together podcast, click here -> https://megaphone.link/CAD6968959577

If you're going to be an untraditional educator, one that pushes boundaries and isn't afraid to try new things, there's going to be both positive and negative feedback.The question of the day is this: How do we manage difficult colleagues who might be the providers of that negative feedback? To help us answer this question, we're talking to our great friend Dave Burgess, author of Teach Like A Pirate.

Today we have a very special guest on the podcast: Dr. Jody Carrington, also one of our favorite people EVER!

Today 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!

Since we know you'll want to check her out after listening to her speak, here's a link to find her everywhere! --> https://linktr.ee/drjodycarrington

"Teaching isn't all of who I am, it's PART of who I am."

Let that sink in... Now let's talk about it. The topic of identity has been on our hearts and minds lately, and based on what we've heard from our audience, we know it's been on YOUR mind too. When you decide to become an educator, that doesn't mean every other interest, hobby, or characteristic goes out the door. The goal of today's episode is to teach you how to find your unique identity and how to remember it when teacher's guilt starts to get the best of you.
