Jay Dubois is a dynamic educator from Southern Ontario paving his way through the education space. As a Google Innovator and an Apple Distinguished Educator Jay has over 15 years of experience in and out of the classroom. In this episode, we talk a lot about his classroom… where he makes the magic happen with his grade 3/4 split class. He explains the importance about create for an audience for his students. He outlines his flexible seating strategies. He describes how students can take more ownership in how they chose to show their learning and build their digital tool belt. And, so much more!

After over 55 thousand people viewed a quick tour of her classroom, I had to ask Tracey Tinley to be the first guest of Season 03! In her 22nd year of teaching, Tracey explains how she found the inspiration, the time and the resources for her flexible seating class. She shares her tips and tricks on how YOU can transform your classroom and WHY it's beneficial. As she explains... the classroom is the third teacher!

Brad Shreffler is a Digital Instructional Coach in Orlando, Florida. He recently made the switch to a new middle school that has 2,700 student from grade 6 through 8. (There’s 90 portables there!) With this switch we explore his transition and how new teachers can live this smoothly. We also discuss the importance of climate and culture in a school (Aloha Fridays for the win…). And what advantages a Masters Course could provide…(or not!). The Disney / Universal Studios battle persists as well.

We begin the episode by determining the difference between a classroom teacher and a camp counsellor.

His dives into explaining his reality in a split class with 28 students and the importance of being flexible and balancing needs. Mubeen also shares some insight about how to manage being the people pleasing teacher, to take time to regenerate. (& what to do when you have FOMO!)

Cet épisode a été enregistré en direct du rassemblement Franco Fiers à l’École secondaire catholique Le Relais; animé par Félix St-Denis, animateur culturel au sein du CSDCEO. Après avoir livré un petit témoignage sur l’importance de mon identité francophone ainsi que comment je surmonte mon insécurité linguistique, les élèves ont été mis en défi. Bravo pour un épisode riche et varié.

Aujourd’hui le podcast prend une nouvelle forme! C’est Mylène Levert, élève de la 12e année à l'école secondaire catholique qui pose les questions! On va enfin pouvoir en apprendre davantage sur notre fameuse Mme Lalonde! Aujourd’hui on rit, on s’amuse, on parle de souvenir d’enfance, son parcours en éducation et des relations élèves et enseignants! Et nous allons découvrir, qui est que sera Sarah?

“Plus un enfant est exposé à une langue, mieux sera sa compétence dans cette langue”

L'épisode touche le translangage, l'assimilation, le bilinguisme, etc. Il parle aussi des avantages et des défis de vivre dans deux langues… Est-ce même possible? 
De plus, nous abordons la question: "Quand et comment devront nous reprendre nos élèves quand ils font des erreurs en français à l'école?"

Rebecca is a high school teacher changing student lives in Ottawa, Ontario. She is known for her project / passion-based approach and describes her classroom as "controlled chaos". On this episode of the podcast, Rebecca and I talk about the importance of unlearning (along with the skills needed to do this)in order to have students believe that you can do things differently. She explains how she scaffolds student learning for them to be able to succeed in this approach and attain the goals they set out for themselves. We touch base on the power of students teaching students and why we should be trying to offer tasks where students can create for an authentic audience.
