In this episode of Room to Grow, our hosts share conversation with Rebecka Peterson, the 2023 National Teacher of the Year (NTOY). Rebecka is a high school math teacher at Union High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on leave for the 2023-24 school year to fulfill her NTOY responsibilities. She views the NTOY not as an award, but rather a job, that of spokesperson and ambassador for the teaching profession.

In this conversation, we learn about her teaching journey and the lessons she learned along the way that have shaped her focus in the classroom. She shares how she focuses on connections with students – connections to each other, to school, to the content, and to their communities. She reflects on current struggles facing math education systems, and her belief that choice could drive better student engagement, more student learning, and less teacher burnout.

There's a hidden superpower in a regular teen activity that will provide support for teachers as well as students. This inclination, when activated, encouraged, and guided can create a safety net for students, build webbing so classrooms feel warm and encouraging, catch students who are falling behind, and bring out the sensitivity and protectiveness of some of the most unruly students. What is it? Friendships. Yes, simple friendships. In this episode, Amy Edelstein talks about how to structure the friendships and the positive benefits that come when students begin to support each other's successes, connect in simple ways to help each other stay on track, and even model positive challenges ahead. As always, this episode is practical, philosophical, and experiential. Enjoy this roadmap and the meditation that goes along with it!

Educators are constantly being asked to do more with less. And because they are resourceful, talented, and invested, they meet those expectations, often to their own detriment. Our best and brightest continue showing up each day, but they bear the cost over time. Eventually, everything breaks down if asked to run at 125% all the time.

As we face a sustained teacher shortage, how can school and district leaders dismantle burnout culture and provide educators with the support they need to be successful in this profession long term? Listen to this edWeb podcast to learn from experts on this topic.

This edWeb podcast is of interest to PreK-12 school and district leaders.

You can book a free workshop with her to support teacher mental health and reduce staff stress, anxiety, and fatigue: https://forms.gle/uCGXoNMUdSAssoSCA

Are you a people pleaser? Teachers are often put in a position where they feel they aren't "good" or a team player if they don't try to agree to everyone's request. The trouble is, people pleasing is a sure way to end up in teacher burnout mode. You won't be happy, and you won't have the resources to do your best in the classroom. In this episode, I'll go into why we people please as teachers, how to stop people pleasing, and what to do instead of being a people pleasing teacher.

How we measure success in Texas public schools? Right now, standardized testing and an A-F accountability system that assigns grades to campuses is used almost entirely to grade our schools. 

Accountability, and the transparency it brings, is essential. We need to make sure the 5.4 million students in Texas public schools are provided with the tools they need to eventually enter the workforce, and that taxpayer money is being put to good use. 

But what if we had a system that looked at more than how students do on one test on one day? What if we decided that what makes a “good school” goes beyond test scores and we evaluated how districts prepare students for life and career through things like early childhood education, dual language, fine arts, and extra-curricular programs? Or the many crucial resources public schools provide to ensure the well-being of their students, like meals, mental health services, and campus security?

This is a wholly achievable idea — and one that had momentum and bipartisan support during the most recent legislative session. But, like so many other worthy public education issues, accountability and assessment reforms went down in the battle over private school vouchers during the 88th Session.

In this episode, hear from Lori Rapp, Superintendent at Lewisville ISD; Jacqueline Martinex, Former 4th grade teacher at Canutillo ISD; Daniel Saenz, CEO of Nieto Technology Partners; Paola Gonzalez Fusilier, School Board Trustee at Pasadena ISD; and Dr. Libby Cohen, Senior Director of Advocacy at Raise Your Hand Texas, each discusses assessment and accountability from their unique perspectives. 

In this captivating podcast episode, Becca dives into an intriguing conversation with Chanavia Patterson, affectionately known as Principal Patterson, on the powerful concept of "listening for what's not being said" in school culture. Discover the secrets behind understanding underlying messages, emotions, and nonverbal cues to foster a thriving school climate and increase teacher retention. From active and reflective listening techniques to creating open communication spaces and the game-changing impact of creating your very own advisory council, Principal Patterson shares invaluable insights to transform your leadership approach. Uncover the essence of school culture, far beyond the tangible, as her wisdom sparks inspiration for exceptional educational leadership to elevate your school's culture, communication practices and teacher retention.

Teacher Stress and Burnout: Causes and Coping Strategies

If you're a classroom educator, you know firsthand how challenging and demanding your job can be. Between juggling lesson planning, student assessments, grading, parent communications, administrative duties, and extracurricular demands, it's unsurprising that teacher burnout is a prevalent issue in today's education system. Consider this: in a recent survey conducted by the National Education Association, more than half of members said they were planning to retire or leave teaching sooner than planned. Stress and burnout are key factors driving an exodus from the profession and contributing to an ongoing and global teacher shortage (and a global pandemic only made these issues more acute). In this episode, we'll be discussing some of the causes of burnout and the signs and symptoms that teachers might experience as a result of workplace stress. We'll also be diving into a variety of strategies that can be used to combat burnout, cultivate resilience, and prioritize your mental health.

A key takeaway from our conversation is the importance of your relationships with colleagues and trusted administrators in reducing teacher stress and burnout. Building relationships and getting involved (to the extent possible) in leadership positions within your school or district might be one way to make a big difference. Your voice is crucial! By becoming an advocate for change and having a say in important decisions, educators can begin to shift attitudes that lead to a culture of stress and burnout.

From mindfulness and self-care practices to boundary-setting and time-management strategies, we'll be sharing a wide range of tools and techniques that can help educators to reduce stress and cultivate a more sustainable work-life balance. Whether you're a seasoned educator or an aspiring teacher just starting out, this episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice that can help you to minimize the risk and effects of burnout in your own career. Tune in and join the conversation!

Podcast - You're Wrong About

This week, Natasha Mascarenhas interviewed Sam Chaudhary, the founder of ClassDojo, and Chris Farmer, the founder and CEO of SignalFire, a venture firm that recently announced a $900 million fund to back tech startups. This interview is structured a bit differently as it was actually recorded as a TechCrunch Live session, our weekly show that focuses on helping people start better venture backed businesses.

We'll hear from the trio about:

• What an outsider advantage looks like in startups, per a top investor
• Why ClassDojo doesn’t see itself as an edtech company
• How Sam landed early traction with a difficult-to-capture consumer
• How both Sam and Chris are thinking through the AI question brewing in every office
