When our friends at The Wright Stuff Chics and Teach Your Heart Out decided to help a school in Bay County Florida after they had lost everything in a hurricane we weren't surprised, but we were blown away by the donation by Hand 2 Mind of $700,000 worth of materials to help those students and teachers get back on their feet!

Show notes

John Rodney is a teacher in Burbank who lives in L.A. and is just a good dude! We were fortunate to connect with John on Instagram (@teachertoteacher) and he agreed to have a chat with us for the podcast. He told the story of how being a summer bar tender in Maine got him connected to a principal in L.A. which turned into a teaching job and he has now been there for over a year. John also gave us good advice on how to get to know your community and the impact that can have on your students. He teaches in a community with a large Armenian population and he discusses how he learned to give examples that are culturally relevant to them. We can say for certain that John will be back on the podcast soon! If you'd like to support us you can subscribe and leave a review and if you'd like to learn more head over to theledproject.com!

The LED Project #142: Learning on the Journey w/ Jessica Cabeen Jan 20, 2019

Show notes

On this episode we talk with Principal Jessica Cabeen about her journey from Musical Therapist to middle school principal! What was fun about this episode was that although we were introduced through a mutual friend we both grew up in northwest Wisconsin. We weren't in high school at the same time, but we were able to share the common experience of growing up in a small town and learning to teach in the urban setting. We talked about building relationships, setting high expectations and giving kids space to fail.

On this episode of the podcast we are joined by the incredibly fun and engaging Esther Brunat for a conversation on how to build relationships through humor. We connect during the Teachers Reboot Conference after watching her session called Petty on Purpose. Asking students questions like, "Who peed in your cheerios?" can often diffuse tense situations and create connections between teachers and students. This episode is filled with laughs and real talk!
