I am so excited to welcome Liz Kleinrock from Teach and Transform onto the Podcast.  After ten years of teaching, Liz has recently moved into the role of professional development educator, supporting schools and districts to support their anti-bias and anti-racism work.  In this episode, Liz breaks down ABAR work, highlights the ways our schools fall into the trap of performative allyship, and exposes forms of gatekeeping within our classrooms, schools and districts.  Her words are POWERFUL, and I so enjoyed the editing process of this episode because it meant that I could listen to her words over and over again.  Each time I got to pull back another layer and begin to digest it, so feel free to do what I did and listen to this episode more than once.  Liz does such a wonderful job of breaking this topic down, and supporting us as we engage in this anti-bias, anti-racist work.  I can’t wait for you to have a listen!    Liz Kleinrock: @teachandtransform www.teachandtransform.org

Teaching With Infertility: An Inside Look

Morning Meeting is easily the most important part of our school day.  It is the time when my students are welcomed into their classroom, they have an opportunity to preview their day, engage in shared reading, build community, and learn about one another.  Responsive Classroom emphasizes the need for students to feel safe, valued, and respected before they can be expected to engage in any academic tasks.  Morning meeting is the key to making that happen!  Find out how to make the most out of your morning meeting, how to get creative if you have limited time to give to this model, and hear answers to some of your most frequent questions.  Morning meeting is the best way I have found to support my struggling scholars, prevent bullying, and build critical social and emotional skills!  Listen in to find out all of the details!

Morning Meeting: The Most Important Part of Our Day

Heidi Rose from The Zero Waste Classroom joins me on the podcast today to talk about the carbon footprint of our classrooms. She gives us actionable steps to take in our classrooms, and does so while speaking great truth to our climate crisis. Together we'll dive into the very real statistics behind our climate crisis, and Heidi will support us on this emotional journey to understanding our carbon footprint, the privileges we hold as we look at this global crisis from a social justice lens, and often the guilt we feel from not knowing.  Heidi is going to walk us through ALL of this today.  I know it's a tall order, but she DELIVERS! Sometimes, things like climate change feel so BIG, and the idea that teachers (who are often already made to feel so small) can have an impact is such an important message!
