    #290 Leaving the Classroom for the LOVE of the Classroom with Jennifer Buchholz (pt.1) Dec 19, 2022
    Show notes

    Hello everyone! We all know that teachers are leaving the classroom in droves. There is a teacher shortage (or more accurately, a shortage of people who want to work in an underpaid and under-appreciated profession).

    But, not everyone leaving the classroom is doing so because they are unhappy. Many—including myself—have stepped out because of the LOVE we feel for the class, and the passion we have to help as many people as we can in schools.

    Jennifer Buchholz (also known as @skatingthroughliteracy on Instagram), is a literacy consultant and instructional coach who left the class she loved to serve classes elsewhere. Not only is she spreading great literacy knowledge on social media, but she is also open about her story and why she changed her role this year.

    Whether you are thinking about leaving, want to know there are people still enjoying the work they do, or want a different perspective on why a teacher would choose a different role, this episode is for you!

    If you want more great literacy focused content, check out our sister show, Craft & Draft and our upcoming training on January 7th, 2023.

    This episode is sponsored by Heinemann—the leading publisher of professional books and resources for educators—and their professional book, Textured Teaching: A Framework for Culturally Sustaining Practices by Lorena Escoto Germán.

    With Culturally Sustaining Practice as its foundation, Textured Teaching helps secondary teachers stop wondering and guessing how to implement teaching and learning that leads to social justice. Lorena Germán shares her framework for creating a classroom environment that is highly rigorous and engaging, and that reflects the core traits of Textured Teaching: student-driven and community-centered, interdisciplinary, experiential, and flexible. The actionable strategies Lorena uses to bring Textured Teaching values to life illuminate what is possible when we welcome all types of texts, all types of voices, and all forms of expression into the classroom.

    #289 The STAAR Short Constructed Response Strategies Dec 12, 2022
    Show notes

    Hello everyone! Welcome to a special episode of Teach Me, Teacher focused completely on the new Texas STAAR short constructed response item type.

    Here at Teach Me, Teacher, we know testing isn't the be all end all, but it is a reality, and one we must prepare students for. To tackle this task and hopefully support you, I have collaborated with Pam Ochoa, my co-host of Craft & Draft.

    In this episode, Pam Ochoa shares how she is addressing the new short constructed responses on the STAAR test, required from the redesigned. She discusses the two different types of short constructed responses, one for reading and one for revision and editing.

    She explains how she is teaching the students how to answer the STAAR short constructed responses, while maintaining a workshop environment. This episode can be heard in FULL on the Patreon, along with hours of bonus episodes never heard before, and bonus training videos not found anywhere else.

    Whether you are or not in Texas, some of the principles Jacob and Pam address will work beyond the test prompt and are applicable for other types of writing as well.

    Join Jacob and Pam as they answer a Craft & Draft listener's question about the short constructed response. May it help you address these types of questions in your workshop!

    #288 The Elephant in the Room...Student Behavior (Ms. Chyna pt.2) Dec 05, 2022
    Show notes

    Hello everyone! It is no secret that teachers are facing new levels of elevated behaviors from students. Many seem to struggle with self regulation, attention, and compliance. So much of this can be attributed to schools being closed and Covid changing the amount of tech kids learn with.

    But the reality is, this is currently reality...which means we have to address it and learn to move forward.

    To help with this, I brought back Ms. Chyna to the podcast to talk about all the things she is grateful for in this work, while also acknowledging the many difficulties all educators are facing. Ms. Chyna is a behavioral special education teacher, otherwise known as @especiallysped on Instagram, and is insightful, relatable, and always helpful.

    Last week, we discussed finding your people and working towards positivity, and this week we are diving down the long discussion of behavior in schools, and how a mindset shift could help us evolve with the times.

    Enjoy!

    Hello everyone! It is no secret that times are changing...and have changed. Kids seem different. Behavior is all over the place (regardless of the level you work at). There are pressures from seemingly every angle...

    And yet, there is still joy to be found. Don't believe me? Well, no need. I brought back Ms. Chyna to the podcast to talk about all the things she is grateful for in this work, while also acknowledging the many difficulties all educators are facing.

    Ms. Chyna is a behavioral special education teacher, otherwise known as @especiallysped on Instagram, and is insightful, relatable, and always helpful.

    #286 In Defense of Direct Teaching (Daniel Buck pt.2) Nov 21, 2022
    Show notes

    Hello everyone! It has never been the goal of this podcast to push one side of the current issues education is facing. I value the complexities of what we do in schools, and as a consequence, value wide ranging opinions from people who care about education's future.

    Last week, I brought Daniel Buck to the show, who brings his expertise, willingness to dialogue, and unafraid opinions to discuss what he calls the biggest debate no one is talking about… the knowledge vs skills debate as it relates to pedagogy and schools.

    This week, we dive into a plethora of topics (such as supporting families, school choice, keeping politics out of classrooms...), but the one that encompasses them all is Daniel's defense of direct teaching and how it can improve student learning.

    For the uninitiated, Daniel has been featured in places such as the New York Post and Wall Street Journal, has a healthy Twitter following, and is the author of the upcoming book, What Is Wrong With Our Schools? The ideology impoverishing education in America and how we can do better for our student.

    Hello everyone! It has never been the goal of this podcast to push one side of the current issues education is facing. I value the complexities of what we do in schools, and as a consequence, value wide ranging opinions from people who care about education's future.

    Today is a day where I get to model what it's like to speak with someone who I do not fully agree with, but value and respect their thinking nonetheless.

    Hello everyone! After hosting this podcast for 7 years, running my second podcast Craft & Draft, and talking about the importance of authentic writing instruction, I have come to learn an unsettling fact… writing is so often overlooked in professional development and curriculum documents.

    Too often, writing is pushed to the side or given a steady diet of drills, programs, or rules for kids to follow, rather than being a vehicle for self expression, discovery, and learning. It's also, as we discuss in this episode, often not taught across all of the

    #281 Educators Need Trust and Support (Dr. Nadia Lopez pt.2) Oct 17, 2022
    Show notes

    Hello everyone! Educators are some of the hardest working people on this earth. Few people outside of education understand what it truly takes to move kids, support families, and build schools to be powerful tools for all who enter them.

    At times the demands of this job can take their toll, however, and when they do, consequences can be dire.

    To discuss what it takes to build powerful educational environments and the cost that can be present with such work is the brilliant Dr. Nadia Lopez.

    Dr. Nadia Lopez is an award-winning global educational thought leader, who became a viral sensation after the popular blog Humans of New York featured her as one of the most influential people of this life. Disrupting the school to prison pipeline, Dr. Lopez founded Mott Hall Bridges Academy, a STEAM-focused middle school in Brownsville, Brooklyn, New York, in 2010, and served as the principal for ten years. She was named Linkedin's 2019 Top 10 Voices in Education and received the Black Girls Rock award–alongside Michelle Obama in 2015.

    In 2020, Dr. Lopez ended her tenure as Mott Hall Bridges Academy's principal as an act of self-preservation after developing a stress-related illness that threatened her life. The experience inspired her to develop a coaching program for women of color in educational leadership designed to build their capacity, with a focus on sustainability.

    In part two we discuss:

    • What happened to Mott Hall Bridges when Dr. Lopez came back
    • The importance of supporting teachers and building trust
    • Where education is headed and how we can support a better tomorrow

    …and so much more!
