The Teachers' Tribe Podcast episodes
- S1 Ep021 - Reality Check MarkI chose the Jeopardy category (Before and After) style title because it’s time for a “Reality Check Mark”. Ready or not, it’s happening - many schools have or are returning to face-to-face instruction. Amidst the trepidation that many teachers are feeling, there are too many things in the unknown category. As I explored the CDC guidelines, I was equally concerned about the “mental health and social-emotional wellbeing considerations”. While the matter of returning to school has been debated in various sectors of society and in the media, I have always felt that we have lost sight of one piece of reality. Listen and find out if you need a reality check, like I did.BLOG POST: http://www.theteacherstribe.com/blog/reality-check-markSOURCES: CDC Checklist Educational Leadership PublicationSOCIAL MEDIAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theteacherstribe/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheTeachersTribeTwitter: https://twitter.com/teachers_tribeYouTube: The Teachers’ Tribe20 min
- S1 Ep020 - One HandS1 Ep020 - One HandToday’s message and tips are directed at parents, caregivers and teachers. As I continue to work in a virtual environment, I know I am not alone with some of the challenges that I am facing. Supporting our children while learning during a pandemic is definitely the time to apply these saying. Let’s think about it together as I offer some tips for these times.BLOG POST: http://www.theteacherstribe.com/blog/one-handStory Source: https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-good-stories-about-teamworkInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theteacherstribe/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheTeachersTribeTwitter: https://twitter.com/teachers_tribeYouTube: The Teachers’ Tribe19 min
- S1 Ep019 - Bend the TreeS1 Ep019 - Bend the TreeThis episode is mainly for parents and caregivers and it focuses on the formative years, especially the early childhood period. Child-rearing is a tremendous blessing and responsibility. We should never take this opportunity lightly and I encourage you to give it your best shot. We will not do it perfectly, because we are practicing and learning as we go. It is worth considering Matt Walsh’s quote: “Parenting is the easiest thing in the world to have an opinion about, but the hardest thing in the world to do.”BLOG POST: http://www.theteacherstribe.com/blog/bend-the-treeJohn’s Hopkins Children’s Article: https://www.hopkinsallchildrens.org/ACH-News/General-News/The-importance-of-sleep-for-kidsSOCIAL MEDIAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theteacherstribe/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheTeachersTribeTwitter: https://twitter.com/teachers_tribeYouTube: The Teachers’ Tribe17 min
- S1 Ep018 - Now and ThenWhile many things have changed, some things have remained constant. Many of my childhood experiences were night and day when compared with those of my children and students; however, we share similar social-emotional needs. If at no other time in my teaching career, this is the year to heighten my focus on SEL. Join me in exploring that today.BLOG: http://www.theteacherstribe.com/blog/now-and-thenSOCIAL MEDIAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theteacherstribe/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheTeachersTribeTwitter: https://twitter.com/teachers_tribeYouTube: The Teachers’ Tribe18 min
- S1 Ep017 - There's Always a LessonSimple day-to-day life experiences can help us to gain valuable lessons if we practice mindfulness. It is not easy to embrace the ideas that challenges are valuable and that no experience should be seen as worthless. Contemplate with me in this episode how we can create a new sense of awareness about our daily lives. Are you missing out on meaningful moments because of busy lifestyles and never-ending to-do lists? Let’s explore and find the lessons together!BLOG POST: http://www.theteacherstribe.com/blog/theres-always-a-lessonBen Underwood on Oprah Winfrey ShowSOCIAL MEDIAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theteacherstribe/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheTeachersTribeTwitter: https://twitter.com/teachers_tribeYouTube: The Teachers’ Tribe17 min
- S1 Ep016 - The Best Is HereWilliam Arthur Ward’s words should inspire us to acknowledge that the best is here every time we see our children/students. He said, “When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves”. In this episode, I share an idea that is applicable to our lives as teachers, parents and caregivers.20 min
- S1 Ep015 - If At First...Many veteran teachers feel like first year teachers again this year. I heard someone referring to this school year as a plane that we’re building as we are flying it. That’s a strong visual; but so far, it seems appropriate. Just imagine that for a moment. How would you feel if you were zooming in the air at top speed with many passengers onboard but you had to be putting the pieces of the aircraft together at the same time? According to Winston Churchill, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the COURAGE to CONTINUE that counts.” Let’s take a look at what success looks like this year.BLOG POST: http://www.theteacherstribe.com/blog/if-at-firstSOCIAL MEDIAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theteacherstribe/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheTeachersTribeTwitter: https://twitter.com/teachers_tribeYouTube: The Teachers’ Tribe19 min
- S1 Ep014 - What's Your Shift?S1 Ep014 - What’s Your Shift?The word “shift” conjures up a few different ideas in my mind. Do you need to shift into a higher gear or work on shifts with others? Are you in need of a paradigm shift? Among the dictionary definitions for the word shift is “a slight change in position, direction or tendency”. (Oxford English Dictionary) That’s the shift I will be focusing on in this episode.BLOG POST: http://www.theteacherstribe.com/blog/whats-your-shiftSOCIAL MEDIAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theteacherstribe/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheTeachersTribeTwitter: https://twitter.com/teachers_tribeYouTube: The Teachers’ Tribe21 min
- S1 Ep013 - How Will They Remember?S1 Ep013 - How Will They Remember?The new school year is here for many of us. It comes with mixed emotions, challenges and new ways of teaching and learning. We can play a role in determining the outcome and the memories that our children will hold on to. The question is, “How will my students remember the 2020-2021 school year?” I invite you to join me on this intentional journey of planning to make it a cherished experience for them.Link: Wild Gilbert by Lloyd Lovindeer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8flDlixo4KA)Blog Post: http://www.theteacherstribe.com/blog/how-will-they-rememberSOCIAL MEDIAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theteacherstribe/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheTeachersTribeTwitter: https://twitter.com/teachers_tribeYouTube: The Teachers’ Tribe17 min
- S1 Ep012 - Please Say My NameA person’s name is special and an important part of identity. Many children experience anxiety, ridicule and other negative emotions because of their names. Dale Carnegie said, “Names are the sweetest and most important sound in any language”. How much do you focus on the names of the children/students in your care? Is that something important to think about as we begin a new school year?Blog Post: http://www.theteacherstribe.com/blog/please-say-my-nameSOCIAL MEDIAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theteacherstribe/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheTeachersTribeTwitter: https://twitter.com/teachers_tribeYouTube: The Teachers’ Tribe15 min
