We Teach Inspired!!

On this episode Kyle launches his new weekly debrief. Rather than writing it down on paper we're going to put it down on audio!

On this episode we discuss our experience both as participants and presenters at the University of New Mexico's Mentoring Institute Conference. We presented our Theory of Mentoring Relativity and also listen to several dynamic speakers including our friend Chad Littlefield. Check it out!!

On episode #23 Wilkie outlines the 3 C's: Communication, Consistency, and Culture!! Listen in as we discuss one of our favorite topics and why we think culture is so important to successful students and schools. Thanks for listening to our podcast and supporting the growth of education!!

In this episode we discuss the need for teachers to detach their teaching practice from student results. Not to say that we are unconcerned with the success of our students, but to say that we can't tie our self worth to their outcomes. Ultimately they are responsible for their own success and we must accept that fact. We're striving for consistency as teachers within our educational practice and continuing to develop our craft each day. Thanks for checking out episode #22

On this episode Wilkie and Kyle are back to discuss how we can do a better job as teachers of validating our students beyond their grades. We catch up on life after the hurricane in Houston and discuss how if we must allow ourselves to be truly seen if we are going to teach our students to value themselves. Thanks for checking out episode 21!!

Sorry for the delay, but we are back on the air with an update on how things are in Houston and Wisconsin. In this episode we talk about the clean up efforts in Houston, how life has changed for us and how to get good at making lemonade from life's lemons. Sorry for the cut off at the end and for our silence the last month, but we promise to be putting our podcast out weekly going forward!

On this episode we talk about the stories we tell ourselves as teachers versus the stories our students and colleagues tell about us. Examining the stories we tell ourselves and the stories others tell about us gives a metric of our authenticity. If we don't take the time to be intentional about our stories then we will be subject to the stories others tell about us. We believe this is a powerful practice for both teachers and students. We hope this is a strategy you can use to start 2017-18 off right!

On this episode we discuss the impact that teachers have in classroom, schools, communities, our country and our world. We hope as the school year closes in that teachers understand the power they have to impact our society at every level. We talk about the value of intentional relationships, authenticity and why we believe society won't change unless our schools do. Thanks again for tuning in and we hope you have a great 2017-2018 school year!!

In this episode we talk about the importance of a teachers physical presence as well as how to be present and engaging with your students. There's a difference between being present and engaging in conversations and your kids can tell. Sorry for the few cutouts and crying kids : ) the joys of the internet and staying with you family!!
