In this lively episode I talk with Denver Riley about everything from classroom humor to the challenges teachers face post-pandemic. We also reflect on the new administration's pick for Secretary of Education and the similarity it may be to the movie Idiocracy.


Takeaways:

Secretary of Education: Talking about did the new administration's pick for the job and how it may be too similar to an old movie.

Post-Pandemic Resilience: The Secretary of Education must understand the long-term impacts of the pandemic on students’ mental health and motivation.

Honest Conversations About Teaching: Sometimes the kindest thing teachers can do is to have tough conversations, even with students who aspire to teach themselves.

Community in the Classroom: Small activities like making hand turkeys can foster joy and connection, even in the midst of systemic pressures.
