    Show notes

    Don’t wait to step up to the plate and lead those around you just because you don’t have a title.

    • Leaders are givers. Leaders are learners. Leaders are helpers. Leaders are doers.
    • Don’t wait to be asked. Don’t wait until you have the paycheck. Don’t wait until you have the time.

    131: Slaying the Myth of Differentiation Dec 18, 2017
    Show notes

    Differentiation is the latest buzz in education, but the reality of what it looks like in the classroom has yet to be solidified. Many new teachers struggle with providing personalized learning experiences to their students not because they do not understand what differentiation is, rather it’s the logistical, organizational part of differentiation that leaves them stuck. Tune in to hear what you can do today to begin differentiating instruction for your students!

    Quotables

    • Write everything in pencil
    • Differentiation really just means whatever you are doing to help students learn, make sure it’s applicable to where they are as a learner
    • Differentiation isn’t something we do for a short period throughout the day; it’s a mindset we have in reaching our kids.
    • It’s personalizing the experience so that kids can be successful
    • Learning is messy and a constant problem to be solved

    Gretchen’s Tip

    1. Content- WHAT you teach the kids
    2. Process- HOW you teach the kids
    3. Product- HOW the kids demonstrate their learning

    130: Find Your Own Path with Corey Knight Dec 11, 2017
    Show notes

    Corey Knight has extensive experience in the classroom with technology. After graduating from Indiana University with a degree in secondary education, he became a classroom teacher at an urban middle school in Indiana. After two years, he began working on my post graduate degree which he earned from Ball State University in Educational Technology and Curriculum.

    He was immediately offered a job to be a tech coach for the district he worked at, but he kindly rejected the offer in order to stay in the classroom and continue working with students. He has a real experience with students and applying iPad technology in the classroom. While working in the classroom, he found that there was a need for teachers to learn how to apply technology in their classrooms in a meaningful way. The development of Classroom Tech Made Simple is the direct result of that need being met.

    Corey continues to teach in the classroom today and enjoys working with students and teachers alike to help make the classroom a fun, challenging, and rigorous environment for learning.

    Quotables

    • Experience is the best teacher
    • Find your own path
    • Be flexible
    • See a teachable moment and capitalize on it
    • Make it relevant to students
    • Don’t be afraid to fail… it’s only a bad thing if you don’t learn anything from that failure
    • Celebrate small successes
    • “Every master starts as a disaster”
    • When we get complacent in education, our teaching is lacking

    Show notes

    Teachers face some tough obstacles on their journey in the classroom. But those circumstances don’t define who they are as a person or a professional. Tune in to hear 4 steps for how you can write your story so that it has the impact and ending that you dream of.

    127: Classroom Management like PB & J Nov 20, 2017
    Show notes

    Classroom management can be tricky when we react to student behavior instead of setting up procedures. Oftentimes, we let the heat of the moment control our brain and we end up making decisions that hinder student learning. Tune in to hear two scenarios of classroom management struggles where tips are shared so that the problem and solution go together like a delicious peanut butter and jelly sandwich!

    Quotables

    • One of the major reasons why teachers struggle with classroom management has little to do with their content knowledge or their passion to teach. It all comes down to clarity.
    • Quiet is not the same as silent
    • Your wording choice has a huge impact on the result of your classroom behaviors
    • It’s not about winning a war of who’s right and who’s most responsible. It’s about helping kids. All day every day.
    • If your solution is hindering learning, you are the problem
    • Every decision we make impacts kids
    • We have to design our learning space and vibe so it encourages students to show up and apply themselves
    • Students need to love learning but more importantly they need to BE ABLE to love learning

    The work-life balance struggle is never more real than when you realize there’s more parts than just work and life that you need to balance.

Tune in to hear 3 tips you can implement today to make time for all these different parts of you.
