40:55

In our final episode of the season, we look at how to turn the challenges of the 4th nine-weeks into incredible learning opportunities that improve outcomes. Simply put, effective teachers are at their best in May. We don't "mail it in" or give up. We aren't just trying to survive. Instead, we are leveraging the relationships we have built and the academic grit we have developed to help students achieve more than ever.…

Episode #25: Your Life Sentence 25:11

9 days ago25:11

25:11

If you had to sum up your impact in the classroom in one sentence, what would it say? How similar would it be to the sentence your kids would write? Effective teachers strive to make a positive difference. They also realize that being remembered for that impact is far more important than being remembered as a person.…

18:31

Living in the past, no matter how great it may be, can lead to emotional drag for you and unfair comparisons and contrasts for your students. Effective teachers realize the importance of being fully present for their students and coworkers. They also know that putting good memories where they belong and turning the page on the negative are critical keys to finding longevity and peace in our profession.…

28:21

As a regular part of your process, utilize content experts/professionals, interventionists, and strong continuing education resources. Make relationships with people outside of your classroom and leverage them to generate better outcomes for your students. Don't just focus on your output. Feed the starving baker and focus a little more on input. In the long run, you will become more efficient and effective, not to mention your students will be the beneficiaries of more meaningful lessons.…

Episode #22: Venture Into the Unknown 23:18

23:18

As an educator, if you aren't venturing into the unknown, you are reducing your effectiveness as a classroom manager, content leader, and professional colleague. Don't grow or change for the sake of growing and changing. Instead, venture into the unknown to add to your toolbox. Those new tools can impact lives in such an incredible way - including your own.…

37:17

Educators have to balance a seemingly endless number of tasks and responsibilities. This can lead to stress, anxiety, fatigue, burnout, and a lack of focus. However, effective teachers know the importance of eliminating clutter and zeroing in on what's important - our students and learning objectives. Clear your path and remind yourself to "make the main thing the main thing."…

7 weeks ago22:28

22:28

Let's keep it simple. Both philosophically and practically, the substitute shortage shouldn't be your burden. Educators can advocate for their kids and themselves at the same time. Stop going to work sick. Stop missing family milestones. Stop helping administrators, schools, or districts take advantage of you.…

Episode #18: Review Day Revisited 34:53

8 weeks ago34:53

34:53

Teachers often use "Review Days" as a regular part of their process, especially before summative assessments. However, if not approached correctly, these days can actually hurt students and even prevent learning. Playing games of random unit trivia and/or attempting to reteach every previous lesson are failing strategies for long-term learning. Instead, effective teachers utilize "Review Days" as additional lessons to further and reinforce concepts, skills, and knowledge.…

Quibbling with parents in emails, parent conferences, or anywhere else is usually a waste of time. Effective teachers know that empathy, clear expectations, and emotional intelligence are key.

Episode #16: Personal, Political, and Professional Lenses 28:12

10 weeks ago28:12

28:12

It goes without saying that all of us have different life experiences, political beliefs, and professional practices. These serve as our "lenses" through which we inevitably design and facilitate lessons. Effective teachers are aware of these differences and the potential impact they have on students as both learners and people. How a student receives or interacts with a lesson is affected by these lenses (theirs and yours). We can't drive content in a vacuum. When we are more aware of these lenses, students are more likely to benefit from our process.…

Episode #15: Operation Dumbo 18:50

11 weeks ago18:50

18:50

The gap between who we are and how we actually come across to our students needs to be as narrow as possible. In addition to being relationship-focused, effective teachers must possess high levels of self-awareness. They need to reflect, seek feedback, and accept coaching on a regular basis. Effective teachers come across as genuine because they ARE genuine. They are liked AND respected. Falling to achieve these things can make you come across like a Dumbo to your students, and in turn, impact the learning.…

Episode #14: Not Just One Piece of Pie 27:01

12 weeks ago27:01

27:01

Effective teachers know they have to offer different pieces of the "pie" to truly connect with the diversity of students in the classroom. In addition to offering countless ways to learn and show skills and progress, allowing them to "nibble" on different pieces improves the student experience. So, what makes up your pie? How big are the pieces? Is it time to offer more or remake others?…

This episode discusses crucial strategies that will help your students find success in the classroom and beyond. Effective teachers know that effort is really about motivation.
