On this episode of the podcast we had the chance to talk with Ken Ehrmann who is an instructional coach outside Philadelphia and is the host of the Poweredup Podcast. We had the chance to talk about what we learned as substitute teachers, how Ken was able to start a news show with his 5th graders, and why it is important to have a good reason to use a new technology or platform in the classroom! Here's how you can connect with Ken:

We are back with part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Sabba Quidway from Designing Schools! (designingschools.org) On this episode we talked with Sabba about how we need to be willing to unlearn certain habits if we are going to find our strengths and passions. As teachers we can feel like our gifts get pushed to the back burner with all of the duties and requirements of the profession, but Sabba encourages us to find the support we need to embrace change in our classrooms. We are so grateful to Sabba for spending time with us and we hope to have her back on the podcast soon!!

Please find us online and let us know how we're doing!!

We are back with part two of our conversation with Rae Hughart from Teacher Better Team. In this half of the podcast we discussed how to find your authenticity, why teachers fear advocating for themselves, and how to determine what issues and problems are worth fighting for in your school. Again we are grateful for Rae's perspective as she has a hand in so many different educational communities. She really helped us see some things beyond our typical point of view and reframed our role as educators in a powerful way. You can connect with Rae at teacherbetter.com or find her on Instagram @raehughart!

Administrators can't figure out why teachers aren't understand what they are asking them to do and teachers can't understand why administrators aren't seeing the big picture. That is what Rae Hughart CXO of the Teacher Better Team told us on the podcast this week. This is part 1 of 2 with Rae as we catch up with her for the first time in a few years and learn what her experience has been working with teachers, students, and admin over the past few years. Rae tells us not just about the communication problems she sees, but also that we as teachers are not advocating for ourselves in the ways that we should. We hope you enjoy and tune in next week for part 2.

Here are some of Kyle's thoughts from the week of January 4th. Trying out a new format to answer the same questions everyday.

1. What did you do today to defeat the cloned version of yourself from this morning? Taken from Kevin Estella

2. How did you add value today?

3. How did you breathe life today?

4. What needs to be done tomorrow?

Recently Kyle used a quote from Muhammed Ali in class in which Ali uses the term 'so-called Negros.' He read the quote to his class as a part of a lesson on the Civil Rights Movement. There was some strong negative reaction to this, so we sat down to have a conversation about that we wanted to share with y'all.   In this situation how would you have approach the lesson? How would you have responded to students?

Here is the second half of our interview with Hal Bowman (halbowman.com) and in this part of the conversation we talked about how teachers are losing the perception war. We were talking about how it seems that we are not just losing teachers who are new to the profession, but the rockstar teachers who have the valuable experience. The subject shifted to how we can recruit better people to the profession which was what pushed us into a conversation about why people would want to be a part of a profession so that so much of society seems to have disdain for. 

We asked ourselves how can we make positivity louder in teaching and let everyone know that those viral videos you see on social media are happening every minute of everyday in classrooms around the country. Teachers who genuinely love kids and teaching are the rule, not the exception.
