Dear The Sneaker Principal Podcast Listener... I thank you for your continued commitment to this platform. When I first started this podcast in March, two weeks after the closing of school in New York City and most cities across America, I committed to bringing you conversations about education from multiple lenses. I was using this platform as a way to pass our quarantine time by engaging in uplifting dialogue to keep us all continually engaged in our educational systems. This was all in the hope of sharing resources and ideas that would better prepare us for returning to our school buildings. Now, seven months later, public education as a structured system looks to be on wobbling legs. Unions and politicians are at each other's throats in very public and bloody fight. As of yesterday the NYC principals' union voted  "No Confidence" in both our mayor and schools chancellor. As troubling as this is, I see a squabble between wealthy power players that seem to be blind to the enhanced dark realities that the poorest students in NYC, representing approximately 70% of all students.

I am refocusing The Sneaker Principal Podcast to ask the questions that I hope that we are are seeking answers for. For example... What is going to happen to our neediest and most under protection in communities while the unions and politicians fight?

-Uche

If we have any hope with keeping the current state of education afloat as we hunker deeper into the use of technology to get through the pandemic we have to move from just being teachers to being 360 degree content creators. Artists like Yellopain are part of the oral tradition of teaching through song that goes back to Africa and is what hip-hop is made of. We schools are now competing for real estate in the attention span of our youth. I suggest we find ways to renew and reconnect to our profession by studying a video like "My Vote Dont Count".

Episode #26 of The Sneaker Principal Podcast:

How schools handle upset and disgruntled parents is essential to maintaining trust with the entire school community. Too often families have legitimate issues and concerns with a school that is often mishandled and typically dismissed. Here is an example of such an instance and how it was handle, as well as my feedback on how it could have been better handled.
