S1 Ep 33Fool Me Once...
Breaking news! Tennessee apparently does not understand why teachers do not keep teaching or why they do not want to become teachers. They think it is because it is too difficult to get and renew a license....wrong!#Tennessee #license#education #teachers #parents #students #schoolsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61572991876027Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greateducationreset/[email protected] Hosted on Acast.

S1 Ep 32Guilty by Association
Today's episode I will be talking about teacher associations and which one I belong to and why. I also need to communicate my regulars, that I will be shifting episode frequency to every other week. Sorry to those of you who look forward to these on a weekly basis, but I need some more prep time. I actually intended for this to always be a bi-weekly podcast, but I got a little too excited and started pushing out every week.

S1 Ep 21"I Thrive Under a Lack of Accountability" - Michael Scott
We aim to strike a nerve with teachers and admin on this one. While it's nice to not "feel" micromanaged, to be a team, we all need to pull our weight. This means some teachers might need a little more supervision than others.#accountability #oversight #leadership#education #teachers #parents #students #schoolsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61572991876027Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greateducationreset/[email protected] Hosted on Acast.

S1 Ep 19Who Are You?
This past week in Tennessee, some people questioned if the state knew who exactly was receiving school vouchers for the upcoming year and other questions, like how many and in what districts, etc. The current state administration didn't have any answers. This is a problem.#education #teachers #parents #students #schoolsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61572991876027Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greateducationreset/[email protected] Hosted on Acast.

S1 Ep 18You Block Head!
It may seem small, but the schedule format used at a school affects a lot more than most people think about.

S1 Ep 17How Low Can You Go?
It seems like we keep lowering behavior standards and academic standards in education all of the time to either appease a group of people or inflate our district's and/or school's success. How low is too low?#equity #equality #standards #grades #sanfransisco#education #teachers #parents #students #schoolsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61572991876027Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greateducationreset/[email protected] Hosted on Acast.

S1 Ep 10Socially Acceptable - Part 1
Did you know about 100 years ago, more than 50% of students repeated at least one grade before they were 13 years old?
