Time for Teachership

In Podcast Episode 54 of the Time for Teachership podcast, I'm diving into Episode 1 of my Leading for Justice Mini Series. I'm exploring the research of why shared leadership should be an area of focus and how to set up structures in shared leadership in our educational context. ⁠ ⁠

I cover the benefits of shared leadership from educational equity in our schools, to nurturing the relationship of ALL stakeholders (educational leaders, teachers, families, students & communities). I help you imagine the possibilities and encourage you to think about your why so you can invite your community to join in this important focus.⁠

I hope you find it helpful and I'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode!

In Episode 52 of the Time for Teachership Podcast, I am talking with two former students, Eliel & Rachel.

Their big dream is to create a space in the education system where they can learn not only the base curriculum, but skills that they can carry and use in their future. It's important to make students partners with educators so they can brainstorm solutions together. ⁠ ⁠

The most important need is to make each student feel seen and heard. When you know what the problem is with your students, then you can address it.⁠ ⁠ I hope you find this episode and blogpost helpful. They offer great advice for educators!

In today's episode, I am diving into the most common questions I get from educators developing a curriculum for justice- When do I start? When do I have enough skills so my work doesn't cause more harm than good? Will talking about race issues create more racism or increase trauma in my students?⁠ ⁠ I also share a few of my own experiences and mistakes I have made along the way. And remind you that there are always opportunities to learn and grow.⁠

Being an optimist doesn't mean you don't have dark moments or thoughts. Those will creep in from time to time, but an optimist will take a step back and reframe their thinking - shift their mindset.⁠

On the show this week, I am talking with Dr. Sara Frost, optimist, mom, wife, and program operations manager for a non-profit. We are discussing what being an optimist means, the mindset shift needed to remain optimistic when faced with challenges, and why play-makers are so important for children. ⁠Being an optimist doesn't mean you don't have dark moments or thoughts.

Safety is critical for healing the effects of trauma. This is at the center of the conversation between Dr. Cherie Bridges Patrick and I as we go over safety cues, racial trauma, the polyvagal theory, awareness of our body and more. Let me be clear that learning about all of this DOES have an important purpose for us as educators. By getting an understanding of safety and using safety cues, our students will be able to trust us and come to us for help when they need it. I know you will enjoy hearing Dr. Patrick's insight on this topic as much as I do.
