Collaborative Teaching for Stronger School Community
Collaborative Teaching for Stronger School Community
"I truly feel that if I did not have these people supporting me as a teacher, I couldn't keep moving." - Katie, on her coworkers
In school, collaboration is key. This week, we're discussing the importance of carving out time for teachers to work together to solve tough problems and share inspiration. (We'll also talk about why staff meetings don't always count as collaborative time!) From veteran teachers and those who are just starting their careers, we've gathered reflections on how collegiality bolsters student achievement, reduces turnover in the profession, and fosters strong community. We'll also bring you the latest headlines in education news from around the country: S.B. 83 looms over higher education institutions in Ohio, sex ed. faces a setback in Gwinnett County, GA, and MOOSE are on the loose in Maine. (You'll just have to listen.)

She’s Not a Regular Art Teacher, She’s a Cool Art Teacher
Girls who had their friend's parents blocked on Twitter in high school (*cough, cough*) now have severe social media anxiety. Can you imagine growing up with social media today? It was one thing to stress over which song you were going to select for your Myspace profile, but being 16 and feeling the pressure to be hot on main? Pass! This week on the pod I’m joined by none other than my bestie for the restie, the hottest art teacher in Minneapolis, miss Maddie, to chat about teaching in the time of COVID, the trials and tribulations of being a youth in today’s online world, and more! You know the drill, join us if you dare.
