We Teach Inspired!!

We had the chance to catch up with our guy Hal Bowman (https://halbowman.com/) for the podcast to talk about what it has been like over the last few years as a professional development facilitator and what he is seeing from the teachers he works with. In part 1 of our conversation Hal talks about how this profession is simply, but not easy. We talked about how people outside of the classroom could never understand what it actually takes to be a teacher. We asked the question who do we need to become as educators now that our students can get everything we would teach them through the internet. 

We hope you enjoy this episode and if you are not connected with Hal we encourage you to do so!!

Welcome back to the ABCs of Inspired Teaching. We went back and forth about whether to release this conversation as a podcast or to leave it be, but we thought it was important to be transparent and vulnerable about where we are at. We recorded this conversation about a month ago when we were both particularly frustrated. Thankfully things have gotten better for both of us as we have taken steps to make them that way. We hope that it is ok to share this with you and the you'll forgive us for being blunt at times. We just want you to know that if you're struggling your not alone and we're here to support you however we can!!

It has been more than two years since the start of the pandemic and education continues to be in a state of flux. However, teaching has always been in a state of flux. Our classrooms don't just change every semester or every year, they are changing on the daily. Your groups of kids will come in differently every single day and it is up to us to be able to adapt to these changes and deliver the best instruction we can to our kids. That is what we are talking about on this episode.

How do you adapt and engage your different classes on the daily? Let us know on social media!!

It has been an interesting process over the last several years to try to write our first book. So many different concepts and structures that it is strange to listen back to ideas we recorded two years ago and see what it has become. These are the original conversations we had about the 26 words that make up THE ABCs of INSPIRED TEACHING. These words make up our 2nd chapter represent how we act within the relationships we have established through chapter 1. Forgive the format and poor audio please. We felt this was important for us to reflect on and share!!

As we get into 2022 and try to find our footing in a teaching landscape that is shifting below us we thought it would be important to take a look back at what we learned in 2021. A theme that appeared throughout our conversation is letting go of assumptions. Letting go of the things we thought we knew about teaching and learned and embracing our ability to innovate on the fly. We also tackle questions like how do we redirect and manage the behaviors of students who aren't in the normal progression of behavior. Many of our kids haven't had a normal year in four years, so they really aren't acting their age. These are the things we talk about on this episode. We hope you enjoy it!!

Welcome to THE ABCS of INSPIRED TEACHING!! This is the 4th version of a podcast that has been hosted by Wilkie Law and Kyle Krueger since 2016. Over the course of five years we've tried different approaches in creating a podcast that makes a difference for teachers and this is where we have landed. 

This podcast hopes to breathe life into teachers and help them pull out all the good things that are already inside their students. We will interview people who inspire us, teachers who can share their stories of inspiration and share practical wisdom for teachers who want to be their best for kids.

This episode is with our friend Gary Gray Jr. Gary is a Black Canadian who teaches internationally. He has been a guest on the show more times than anyone else and it is because of how he inspires us. We talked with Gary about the books he is writing, why he chooses to tell stories and how we can't rush the revising process.

Connectivity: the state or extent of being connected or interconnected

Before we get started with the new podcasts in 2022 when want to through it back to the conversations that started us on this journey to a book and new podcast. This conversation turned into the basis for our section on CONNECTIVITY. To sum it up-- connection is essential if you want to breathe life into your kids!!

Thanks for listening!!

Here are some thoughts from Kyle for the week of 11-29-21. A little more content and a little crappier sound, but we still want to share some thoughts with you. More importantly is a positive reflection practice that is paying dividends!

Believability- the quality of being able to be believed; credibility

As we work through this school year and all of the challenges we face as educators we know that our credibility is more important than ever. We are asked to speak on and model so many things now that it is crucial that our kids believe that we are who we say we are. This recording was one of 26 we originally did for our book and as we get set to start a new year of podcasts we'd like to share these old ones with you. It is amazing to us that even though these were recorded in 2019-20 they still ring as true as ever.

Let us know how you make yourself believable to your kids on social media @theabcsofinspiredteaching
