  • Tale Lights #5 - Cagen Chaney and the CDL

    Do you have coaches on your staff that need to get a CDL? Do they not even know where to begin? Join Cagen Chaney and I as we walk through the process of getting the CDL in this day and age. Coach Chaney has been teaching and coaching for two years and we promise to have some helpful and enjoyable stories about the process of obtaining a CDL, for the purpose of driving a school bus, in the State of Texas. Not only that, but he (and his wife) Amanda have a brand new baby girl, Birdie Jo Chaney. We take a little bit of time at the end to discuss the balance of teaching, coaching, and being a new parent.

  • Tale Lights #4.1 Larry Taylor

    Saddle up! As we take a ride with retired superintendent, Larry Taylor! Episode 4.1 is now available. You will notice an improvement in the sound quality, as we recorded it in different locations, both using the anchor app. Read more about Larry Taylor and other upcoming guests at: www.talelightspodcast.com/podcast-interviews 4.2 is also now available and we will be recording 4.3 in the future. We’re a couple of talkers, so I doubt there’s an end in sight. We go deep into the jungles of educations while digging into the experiences of Mr. Taylor’s career, and portions of my own, as well. We talk about the history of education finance, accountability, building relationships with students, and so much more!
