Time for Teachership: Recent Episodes

Lindsay Lyons

How can I build capacity for culturally responsive teaching and project-based instruction? How can I reduce teacher burnout and promote a culture of wellness for staff and students? What are the secrets to getting teacher buy-in? What does practicing shared leadership actually look like?

Welcome to the Time for Teachership podcast where we tackle adaptive challenges in educational leadership! Each week, host Lindsay Lyons brings together guest experts, research findings, and practical steps to help brave school leaders transform schools into antiracist spaces that cultivate student, family, and teacher leadership to enable all students to thrive.

What if grammar wasn't about memorizing rules—but about helping students express themselves more powerfully?

In this episode with host Lindsay, literacy consultant and author Patty McGee shares the research behind her book Not Your Granny's Grammar and explains why traditional grammar instruction often fails to improve student writing. Instead, she offers an inquiry-based, student-centered approach that helps grammar become a meaningful tool for communication, creativity, and voice.

Together, we explore how teachers can move beyond worksheets and isolated grammar lessons toward joyful grammar experiences that foster curiosity, collaboration, and authentic writing across content areas.

Whether you're an elementary teacher, literacy coach, instructional leader, or secondary ELA educator, you'll leave with practical strategies you can implement immediately.

In this episode, we discuss: * Why grammar should be viewed as a tool for expression—not simply a collection of rules. * The difference between spoken grammar, book grammar, and standard grammar, and why each has value. * How grammar can amplify student voice and strengthen meaning in writing. * What decades of research reveal about why traditional grammar instruction doesn't improve writing quality. * The three research-backed grammar practices that have the greatest impact: + Sentence construction + Sentence expansion + Sentence combining * Why grammar instruction works best when taught through inquiry-based units rather than isolated lessons. * Patty's grammar learning progression built around surface learning, deep learning, and transfer. * The power of long-term student partnerships for collaborative grammar learning. * Why teachers should ask more questions—and lecture less—during grammar experiences. * How reflection builds curiosity and helps students naturally progress toward more sophisticated sentence structures. * Common challenges teachers face when teaching grammar—and how to overcome them. * Why it's okay (and powerful) for teachers to say, "I don't know—let's figure it out together." * Easy-to-create grammar manipulatives that make grammar interactive, engaging, and fun. * How reading, writing, and grammar naturally reinforce one another when taught together.

In Part 2 of this conversation with host Lindsay, Dr. Genevieve Erker Caffrey unpacks the final three components of her P.O.W.E.R. Framework for justice-oriented social studies instruction: Wisdom & Wit, Entanglements & Empowerment, and Relevance & Responsibility. Together, these dimensions help educators move beyond teaching about history to creating meaningful learning experiences that cultivate critical thinking, civic engagement, and student agency.

You'll hear practical examples for elementary and secondary classrooms, recommendations for using children's literature, strategies for facilitating nuanced classroom discussions, and ideas for helping students move from inquiry to informed action.

If you're looking for ways to teach complex histories while honoring joy, diverse ways of knowing, and authentic civic participation, this episode is packed with actionable ideas.

In this episode, we discuss: * What Wisdom & Wit means in the P.O.W.E.R. Framework and why joy is only one part of the equation. * How music, storytelling, art, humor, oral traditions, and multiple languages can deepen social studies instruction. * Using children's literature to center historically marginalized voices and cultivate student genius. * Why teachers should embrace complexity instead of oversimplifying historical events. * The meaning of Entanglements & Empowerment and how students can explore multiple perspectives within historical movements. * Teaching the complexity of progress through coalition building, disagreement, and civic organizing. * Preparing students for authentic civic action before asking them to solve community problems. * Why Relevance & Responsibility should be embedded throughout the curriculum—not just at the end of a unit. * Practical examples of student civic action, including letter writing, awareness campaigns, service learning, and partnerships with community organizations. * A simple curriculum audit teachers can use to evaluate whether their lessons include every dimension of the P.O.W.E.R. Framework. * Why the framework is intentionally called P.O.W.E.R. and how each dimension helps students analyze and understand power dynamics through a critical lens.

Most schools are collaborating.

But very few are collaborating in a way that systematically elevates instruction for every teacher and every student.

In this episode, guest Kurtis Hewson breaks down the Collaborative Team Meeting (CTM)—a deceptively simple structure that becomes the engine of a school's entire support system. You'll learn how CTMs sit inside a larger four-layer collaboration model, why focusing on "yellow" students (not red) is a game-changer, and how a tight, repeatable meeting structure builds collective efficacy, distributive coaching, and real instructional growth.

If you've ever felt like your school is "playing whack-a-mole" with student needs or drowning in meetings about individual students, this episode offers a practical, proven alternative.

What You'll Learn * The four layers of collaboration every school needs * Why adding one meeting can actually reduce meetings overall * The critical mindset shift: tier the supports, not the kids * Why CTMs focus on yellow students (and how that prevents future red) * The pre-work, norms, roles, and timing that make CTMs effective * How celebrations turn into organic strategy sharing * The Key Issue protocol that keeps conversations about practice, not personalities * How CTMs create distributive coaching across a staff * The biggest mistake schools make when trying to collaborate

Timestamps * 00:00 Why CTMs are different from typical collaboration * 02:30 The four layers of collaboration explained * 06:45 Kurtis's "every child deserves a team" vision * 09:00 Three mindset shifts schools must make * 14:00 What happens before a CTM starts (pre-work & norms) * 18:00 Why celebrations matter more than you think * 20:30 The Key Issue protocol explained * 24:30 How teachers commit to trying new strategies * 26:30 Distributive coaching and capacity building * 29:30 The biggest challenge: sticking to the structure * 33:30 The free CTM Starter Kit and new book announcement

What if "student voice" isn't the goal?

In this episode, guest Adam Fletcher reframes the conversation around Meaningful Student Involvement—a deeper, more transformative approach built on student–adult partnerships, confronting adultism, and cultivating personal engagement from kindergarten through graduation.

Adam argues that education is not just preparation for democracy—it is the bedrock of civil society itself. When students are true partners in learning, teaching, and leadership, schools become places where young people practice being community members, decision-makers, and engaged citizens now.

You'll walk away with practical frameworks (the Three-Legged Stool of School Transformation and the Cycle of Student Engagement) and real examples from classrooms, schools, and national initiatives that make this work tangible at any level.

What You'll Learn * Why student voice alone is not enough * The difference between student voice, engagement, and meaningful involvement * How adultism quietly shapes schools—and how to confront it * What personal engagement really looks like (beyond compliance) * The Three-Legged Stool: structure, culture, and attitudes * The Cycle of Student Engagement: listen → validate → authorize → act → reflect * Concrete examples from a classroom, a school, and a national policy initiative * Why meaningful student involvement may be the most important response to AI in schools

How do teachers respond when students appear to have little or no background knowledge about a topic?

In this episode of the Time for Teachership Podcast, host and instructional coach Lindsay Lyons explores strategies for helping students connect new learning to their lived experiences. Rather than viewing students as lacking knowledge, she encourages educators to expand their definition of background knowledge to include students' identities, communities, experiences, and cultural assets.

Drawing on frameworks such as Funds of Knowledge and Cultural Wealth Theory, Lyons shares practical tools educators can use to help students build meaningful connections to historical content, social studies themes, and inquiry-based learning.

Listeners will learn how to support students in making sense of new information, generating deeper questions, and engaging in analytical thinking—without assuming they are starting with an "empty vessel."

This episode is especially helpful for social studies teachers, instructional coaches, and educators focused on inquiry-based learning.

Key Topics Covered * Rethinking the idea of students having "no background knowledge" * Why student experiences are valuable learning assets * Using Funds of Knowledge in the classroom * Applying the Cultural Wealth Model to social studies instruction * Strategies to help students connect historical topics to their own lives * Cognitive routines that support inquiry and analysis * Helping students generate deeper historical questions * Building tools students can reuse across learning contexts

Key Takeaways * Students rarely lack background knowledge—they simply have different forms of knowledge. * Teachers can help students connect academic content to lived experiences. * Asset-based frameworks support more inclusive and effective learning. * Cognitive routines help students move from connections to critical thinking and analysis. * Connection prompts can transform classroom conversations and inquiry.

Talking with young people about difficult current events—especially those involving immigration enforcement, protests, and community fear—can feel overwhelming for educators and families. In this episode of the Time for Teachership Podcast, host Lindsay Lyons sits down with education leaders Kara Pranikoff and Dr. Eric Soto‑Shed to discuss how teachers and caregivers can support students navigating conversations about immigration enforcement, protests, and current events.

Together, they introduce the Think–Feel–Do framework, a simple yet powerful structure educators can use to guide discussions about complex and emotional issues like actions by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The framework helps students explore three key questions:

What do I think? (curiosity, critical thinking, and context)
How do I feel? (identity, empathy, emotional processing)
What can I do? (civic action and agency)

The conversation explores how teachers can address hard topics responsibly without avoiding them—and without overwhelming students emotionally. By grounding discussions in content knowledge, shared values, and opportunities for action, educators can create classrooms where students process events thoughtfully and compassionately.

This episode also highlights how families can partner with schools to support young people as they make sense of difficult news, build media literacy habits, and develop resilience in challenging times.

Key Topics Covered * How to talk with students about immigration enforcement and current events * The Think–Feel–Do framework for discussing difficult issues in classrooms * Supporting students without retraumatizing them * Why content knowledge and historical context matter in emotionally charged discussions * The role of values like fairness, safety, and dignity in civic dialogue * Helping students move from awareness to civic engagement and informed action * Addressing diverse reactions among students—from curiosity to activism * Supporting students directly affected by immigration policy * How families can model healthy media habits and emotional processing * Why joy, resilience, and community still matter in conversations about injustice

What does it take to build a classroom culture where students truly believe:

I belong here.
I can master rigorous challenges.
My ideas make an impact.

In this energizing conversation, Dr. Jennifer Berry, CEO of SmartLab Learning, joins Lindsay on the Time for Teachership podcast to explore how educators can intentionally cultivate what she calls STEM identity — not just in STEM classrooms, but across all learning spaces.

Together, we unpack how belonging, productive struggle, and agency are foundational not only for academic success, but for thriving in future careers and contributing meaningfully to the world.

This episode is about more than tools or technology. It's about designing an ecosystem that helps students develop the self-belief to lead.

Key Takeaways * STEM identity starts with belief. Students thrive when they believe: I belong here, I can master challenge, and my ideas matter. * Productive struggle builds confidence. Pause before stepping in. Calibrated support — not immediate rescue — strengthens learning power. * Belonging requires intentional design. Environment, curriculum, facilitation, and real-world connection must work together as an ecosystem. * Avoid "random acts of STEM." Tools and technology should be tied to authentic problems and industry relevance. * Education must be future-focused. In an AI-driven world, students need agency, adaptability, and the confidence to lead the tools they use.

Last week, I had the incredible honor of speaking with Zaretta Hammond about cognitive justice, instructional equity, and rebuilding students' learning power. If you haven't listened to Episode 247 yet, I strongly encourage you to go back and start there.

In this episode, I do something a little different.

I reflect — in real time — on a moment in our conversation where Zaretta stopped me and challenged my thinking. Specifically, she pushed back on my assumption that student voice could serve as the primary lever for instructional improvement and equity.

Her response sparked a full-on mental model shift for me.

This episode is a transparent walk through that shift — the embarrassment, the defensiveness, the reflection, and ultimately, the integration. If you've ever experienced discomfort while learning, this episode may resonate deeply.

Key Takeaways * Discomfort signals growth. Being challenged can trigger defensiveness, but that tension often marks the start of real learning. * Student voice isn't a silver bullet. Dependent learners may need explicit instruction in literacy and metacognitive skills before voice can be fully leveraged. * Build learning power intentionally. Cognitive apprenticeship — teaching students how to learn — is foundational to equity. * Sequence matters. It's both/and (literacy and criticality, skill-building and voice), but clarity about outcomes and timing is essential. * Change requires action. Dissatisfaction + vision + a concrete first step are necessary to move beyond resistance.

What does it really take to lead meaningful change in schools — not just adopt new strategies, but fundamentally shift practice?

In this powerful conversation, Zaretta Hammond joins Lindsay on the Time for Teachership podcast to discuss her latest book, Rebuilding Students' Learning Power: Teaching for Instructional Equity and Cognitive Justice. Together, we explore what it means to pursue cognitive justice, why change is so difficult in schools, and how instructional leaders can move beyond surface-level reforms toward true transformation.

Zaretta challenges leaders to examine the mental models and explanatory stories that drive their decisions. She explains why many well-intentioned reforms — even progressive ones — can unintentionally maintain cognitive redlining. Most importantly, she offers a roadmap for leading change that centers students as learners, not just participants.

This is not a conversation about adding one more strategy. It's about rethinking the recipe.

Key Takeaways 1. Cognitive Justice as the Dream Zaretta's vision for education is rooted in cognitive justice — ensuring every student becomes a powerful, independent learner. Colonization and systemic inequities have historically underdeveloped the cognitive capacity of marginalized communities through invisible sorting mechanisms. Instructional equity requires intentionally countering those systems.

Resetting Mental Models Change does not begin with new strategies. It begins with interrogating the explanatory stories we tell ourselves:
What narratives do we hold about students and families?
Where did those beliefs originate?
How do those stories drive our instructional decisions?

Leaders must first collect and examine the stories circulating in their schools before attempting transformation.

From Pedagogy of Compliance to Pedagogy of Possibility Many school systems still operate within a "grammar of schooling" that hasn't shifted in over a century. Pacing guides, engagement checklists, and surface-level reforms often reinforce compliance rather than build learning power.

The shift requires:

Integrating "learning how to learn" skills into curriculum pacing
Designing classrooms as cognitive apprenticeships
Creating productive struggle
Moving students from novice → journeyman → mastery
Beware of Poor Proxies for Learning Observable engagement does not equal learning.

Students repeating learning targets, appearing busy, or using the right jargon can create an illusion of learning. Leaders must develop a science-of-learning lens to avoid being misled by these poor proxies.

Professionalism in education requires ongoing inquiry into instruction — not just strategy adoption.

One-off workshops rarely create lasting change in classrooms. In this episode of the Time For Teachership podcast, Lindsay shares a practical Google Doc template designed to support teacher teams in ongoing, meaningful professional learning. She walks through a structured approach called Group Implementation Coaching Sessions, showing how coaching, feedback, and inquiry can help teachers refine their practice and better support student learning.

What You'll Learn in This Episode/Key Takeaways * Why continuous coaching is more effective than standalone workshops (Joyce & Showers, 2022). * How to set the stage for teacher team coaching by identifying team strengths, individual values, and key priorities. * Strategies for maintaining an asset-based, equity-focused, and student-centered approach in coaching sessions. * Key coaching moves to help teachers shift mindsets, including:

+ Asking for examples to get to evidence.
+ Reframing challenges (e.g., valuing curiosity over background knowledge).
+ Moving from scarcity to prioritization.
+ Aligning pedagogy to core teaching values.

A step-by-step walkthrough of a coaching session:
1. Human Connection: Check-ins, celebrations, and group reflection.
2. Implementation Check: Review previous action steps, data, and student feedback.
3. Action Planning: Identify instructional strategies, micro-groups, or feedback systems to try before the next session.
4. Next Steps: Decide who will try what and how data will be gathered.
5. How to leverage peer coaching and group reflection to generate richer insights and practical solutions.

What does it look like to coach teachers with humanity, curiosity, and care—especially in today's demanding educational landscape?

In this episode of the Time for Teachership podcast, Lindsay welcomes back Dr. Jacobē Bell to explore what it truly means to take a humanizing approach to instructional coaching. Drawing on her experience coaching instructional coaches across multiple contexts, Dr. Bell shares practical strategies, mindset shifts, and real coaching moments that help educators grow while protecting their wellbeing.

This conversation is part of a mini-series focused on supporting instructional coaches, particularly those who step into the role without formal preparation and are learning "by fire."

What You'll Learn in This Episode/Key Takeaways * + - * Humanizing Coaching + Coaching is not just about instruction—it's also about emotional awareness, wellness, and meeting educators where they are. + Coaches can balance accountability with care by centering teachers as co-producers of knowledge. * Afrofuturism, Freedom Dreaming & Coaching

            + Dr. Bell connects Afrofuturism to instructional coaching by imagining a future where educators experience wellness, contentment, and sustainability.
            + A powerful vision: coaching that empowers educators without burning them out.
        * Mindset Shifts from Teacher to Coach


            + Moving from classroom teaching to coaching requires seeing the *whole system*, not just individual practice.
            + Coaches must navigate adult belief systems, values about students, and differing perspectives—often without making everyone happy.
        * Micro-Modeling as a Coaching Strategy


            + Instead of modeling an entire lesson, Dr. Bell advocates for micro-modeling:


                - Coaches model a short instructional move
                - Teachers immediately practice it with students
                - Coaches give real-time feedback
            + This approach helps shift beliefs about student ability and leads to immediate, tangible growth.
        * Surfacing Beliefs with Curiosity


            + Strategies for navigating hard conversations:


                - Reflecting teachers' words back to them
                - Asking open, curiosity-driven questions
                - Lowering defensiveness by naming uncertainty or even "blaming" your coaching
            + Assuming best intentions opens the door to vulnerability and growth.
        * Live Coaching with Care


            + Live coaching can include gently interrupting or questioning moments of instruction—but only after trust and norms are established.
            + Asking teachers how they prefer to be coached is a critical first step.
        * Authenticity Over One-Size-Fits-All


            + There is no single "right" way to coach.
            + Effective coaching grows from authenticity, relationships, and listening—not rigid formulas.
        * Sustainability & Change Management


            + Dr. Bell shares her current learning focus on sustaining change in schools over time.
            + Sustainable improvement requires planning for longevity from day one—not just short-term wins.

How can educators gather meaningful data that actually reflects student thinking—without over-relying on benchmarks or labels?

In this episode of the Time for Teachership podcast, Lindsay is joined by Dr. Jana Lee to explore how teachers, coaches, and instructional leaders can collect and analyze data that shows what students truly understand, how they're thinking, and where learning breaks down. Together, they unpack mindset shifts around assessment, flexible grouping, and skill-based instruction—and why these approaches are essential for inclusive, equitable classrooms.

Dr. Jana Lee shares practical strategies for using student work artifacts, observation, and in-the-moment checks for understanding to guide instruction, support coaching cycles, and measure real impact on student learning.

What is instructional coaching—really? And how can coaches meet teachers where they are without forcing everyone into the same coaching mold?

In this episode of the Time For Teachership podcast, Lindsay is joined by Chrissy Beltran, instructional coaching expert, host of Instructional Coaching with Miss B, and author of an upcoming ASCD book on differentiated coaching. Together, they unpack what it means to differentiate instructional coaching, define the coaching role clearly, and build authentic relationships with teachers—especially those who may be resistant to coaching.

Episode Freebie: 1-Hour Masterclass: Engage Students and Advance Justice: 3 Secrets to Creating Standards-Aligned, Student-Centered Curricula in a Sustainable Way

Today, I am discussing an element of project-based learning that is often overlooked - how to craft a compelling driving question.⁠
⁠
I break down the differences between essential and driving questions, I give examples of each, and a checklist or the standard of what is needed. When you are creating a driving question, I recommend a minimum of 5 iterations to encompass the criteria for that driving question.⁠
⁠
The criteria for a compelling driving question:⁠
⁠
- It’s engaging to students⁠
- Allows for open ended responses⁠
- Opens a range of responses⁠
- Rooted in a specific context-can’t be too broad⁠
- Clear language & phrasing for the students⁠
- Centers justice⁠
- Aligned to learning goals⁠
⁠
I hope you will learn some interesting things from this discussion.

It’s important to allow students practice skills repeatedly throughout the school year and from grade to grade; Having the same rubric for each project, unit, classroom and grade, creates an understanding to the student that this is how projects will be assessed without having to re-instruct how they will be graded each time.⁠

Episode Freebie: Inspirational Quotes for Deep-End Leaders

On episode 76 of the podcast, I’m talking with Jaz Ampaw-Farr about becoming united in your activism for your school community. When you work together, you can come up with even more ideas and ways to make an impact in your school. ⁠
⁠
One of Jaz’s big dreams is to see a human first approach to the learning. What can we do to invite more empathy into this space? It’s about understanding that all are coming from completely different places in their personal lives, different energy levels, different struggles and privileges. And so we can’t assume that everyone will be able to pass their class by being taught in one standard fashion.⁠
⁠
Jaz also talks about how educators will hold themselves back from being their full selves and from making mistakes. But in order to grow, we need to be willing to take risks. We have to put ourselves on the line to get to a better place.⁠

On the show this week, I am talking with career and leadership coach Jeff Ikler. Jeff has worked for nearly 50 years to help students, teachers, and administrators acquire knowledge and find meaning in their work.

Students need more agency and to be cared about by adults at school. Educators are at their best when they recognize that the things students go through and manage in their lives have a direct effect on their desire and ability to put academic work in.

If teachers want to shift their mindsets and start making those changes, there’s no reason it can’t be attempted at a school or district level. Not to mention, we discuss how students don’t need to be steered towards college as the only goal. What would happen if we took their needs and desires into account when it comes to them figuring out their future?

Episode Freebie: Study Guide for "Shifting"

In this week's episode, we are learning from Sean Priest about how to bring social justice and equity directly into our schools. ⁠
⁠
There are multiple things that impede students' learning and experience at school. This could be social influences, high stress, outside responsibilities and more. The goal for school leaders is to find out how they can get involved in dismantling those obstacles. This could be in the form of changing the way you do grading for example. ⁠
⁠
Remember that equity should be educating oneself first about the different issues learners face and then giving them power to make changes that will serve their needs.⁠

In this episode of the Time for Teachership Podcast, I am talking with Dr. Kelly Cerialo, an Associate Professor and Program Coordinator in the Business and Hospitality Department at Paul Smith’s College.⁠
⁠
The model that Dr. Cerialo’s school focuses on is innovative experiential learning. Place-based learning is what inspires the current study abroad program at the college. Because the students are in the middle to lower income brackets, the intention with the study abroad program was to make it accessible to everyone. This is unique because it gives students an option to travel who wouldn’t have that chance in a traditional school. ⁠
⁠
Follow along with Dr. Cerialo and I to hear about the sustainable approach, justice-based considerations for study abroad programming, and various impacts this program has made.⁠

The routines are great for simplifying, like how you start, how you transition, how are you organizing your materials, How do you end, and so on.

Predictable learning spaces are safer and students are more likely to take the risks inherent to learning in those spaces.

In this latest episode, I'm chatting with Dana Goodier who has served as a World Languages and English teacher and middle school administrator with over 21 years of experience . She completed her EdD in Educational Leadership in early 2020. Building off of her own growth as a teacher, she is dedicated to providing schools with techniques to minimize off-task behavior and to increase time on task.⁠
⁠
Dana shares her stories of coming out of the trenches as an educator, and how resilience in different educational settings despite challenges has helped her thrive. She understands that time is of the essence for teachers and that they want to spend more time planning fun and engaging lessons, and less time dealing with off-task behaviors. Listen now to hear more.

In Episode 66, Mark Taylor explains why it's important to pay attention to what students want and provide a path for them to succeed. He mentions how he likes to use the FIRE acronym where F stands for Failure (to understand what failure really means), I for Inspiration, R for Resilience, and E for Empowerment.⁠
⁠
If educators use the FIRE principles, then every child has the chance to do what they were born to do in a natural way. It's quite inspiring!

Do you have a moral compass that guides you? Browyn Harcourt, the principal of Croydon Community School, believes it’s important to be driven by your values.

On this episode, we reflect on why doing what feels “right” can also feel hard but also why it’s worth it. It can be isolating to follow your morals if you’re the only one. But if no one steps up, who will? How long can we wait for someone else to take the first shot? Remember, you as one person, can make a difference. You are changing lives with each step forward. It doesn’t mean you’re changing everything on a macro-level, it means that the impact you do make is powerful and it tends to have a ripple effect.

Today you'll get to hear from Darcy Fernandes, an educator, leader, superintendent, and advocate for at-risk students. If you've thought about the fact that schools with wealthier students/families get more money than schools with low income families it means the system's working how it was intended. There is a lot of inequity within schools, ranging from the way that certain students are barred from taking the classes they want to the lack of inclusivity in the textbooks and assignments during class. Darcy is here to say that we need to give all stakeholders in a school a voice. That's what ensures real, sustainable change.

Episode Freebie: 1-Hour Masterclass: Engage Students and Advance Justice: 3 Secrets to Creating Standards-Aligned, Student-Centered Curricula in a Sustainable Way

Today, I am discussing an element of project-based learning that is often overlooked - how to craft a compelling driving question.⁠
⁠
I break down the differences between essential and driving questions, I give examples of each, and a checklist or the standard of what is needed. When you are creating a driving question, I recommend a minimum of 5 iterations to encompass the criteria for that driving question.⁠
⁠
The criteria for a compelling driving question:⁠
⁠
- It’s engaging to students⁠
- Allows for open ended responses⁠
- Opens a range of responses⁠
- Rooted in a specific context-can’t be too broad⁠
- Clear language & phrasing for the students⁠
- Centers justice⁠
- Aligned to learning goals⁠
⁠
I hope you will learn some interesting things from this discussion.

It’s important to allow students practice skills repeatedly throughout the school year and from grade to grade; Having the same rubric for each project, unit, classroom and grade, creates an understanding to the student that this is how projects will be assessed without having to re-instruct how they will be graded each time.⁠

We start off with dividing issues into two categories

Empirical questions- those that have a clear answer-teaching the history
Policy questions- what to do with the facts and how to respond

Then taking a perspective consciousness approach bringing our own identities and experiences to the conversation, but also helping to see and gain a new perspective from other peoples’ identity and experience.

In this episode we are discussing how to take away the rules for creative writing. So many kids may not like writing because we put writing in a box, follow these rules, these prompts, etc. There is no celebration of life or emotions which makes it hard for them to connect to the writing. In John’s experience, he advocates for making mindset shifts to experience emotion in pure form and transmit those emotions to activism.

John also reads some of his own poetry and experiences the emotions in his own writing. Such a powerful episode! I hope you find it helpful and inspiring and remember to check out my blogpost-Link in Bio!

Today, I am discussing how to pay for your professional development for yourself or for a teacher, and new funding initiatives and how to use them. Effective professional development enables leaders and teachers to develop the knowledge and skills they need to address students' learning challenges.

I cover Title I and Title II funding which are the most common funding sources and go into more detail about Title IV a commonly overlooked source for funding and ESSER.

Understanding the experiences of children without judging them is a move we need to make in order to be sure that all children get the education they need and deserve. In this episode I talk with Taryn Givan about Campus Leadership Teams as part of her program called Leader in Me. Leader in Me aims to empower more educators with practices that connect culture, academics, and leadership. They use methods like the 7 habits of highly effective people and social emotional learning to increase student confidence, give students more leadership skills, help school staff feel supported, and drive school achievements.

In Podcast Episode 30 of the Time For Teachership Podcast I am talking with Lejla Bilal about giving everyone within a school setting a voice and on shifting from buy-in mentality to shared leadership. When we are talking about adaptive leadership we need to name the elephant in the room AND:

identify the key players
determine what are the challenges
strategize how we can resolve issues
and do it collectively (including ourselves)

Right now, the need for equity training at schools is getting higher, not lower. It’s apparent that teachers still haven’t built the capacity or habit of doing the work on their own. According to today's guest, Dr. Eakins, the goal is for school members to get all the tools they need to take charge of their own social justice efforts. Tune in to hear us talk about what equity training really involves and why teachers shouldn't assume they don't need it.

But what if they were taught to be aware of these issues much sooner in life? In this episode, trauma-informed specialist, writer, curricular developer, and instructional coach April Brown shows how to have more important discussions with young children about race and systems of white supremacy.
