The Credible Teacher

I document reflecting on what I'm now capable of doing with this podcast and how our own beliefs about what our students are capable of could be hurting them, if we aren't aware of it.

I document the three areas that transformational leaders excel at (based on study) and relate them to what I've experienced in the classroom.

I document a realization I had about classroom management and how it's a process that never ends.

I document why volunteering with a hospice facility is something I'm interested in and why perspective is so interesting to me.

I document this question that my oldest son (5) asked us last night and how the idea of not knowing things can mean so many things as a human. Also, it can be a relief as a teacher and even build credibility.

I document a brief chat I had with a class concerning how I view my job as their teacher and how I go about communicating what's really happening in school in a way that may lead to more credibility with students.

I document a study done by the University of Missouri about student math sense and why teachers/system may want to focus in belief systems along with the skills that are taught.

I document what these two types of leadership styles are and an example of how I (maybe?) handled a situation as a transformational leader...knowing there most likely is a balance between both.

I document the reasons why I treated a few students as a result of their positive choices and share why teachers should focus on the impact they can make vs. all the things that get in the way if doing so.

I document my reaction to a post about another teacher's disappointment when the superintendent of her district visits her room and stands next to the messiest desk in the room.
