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.

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.⁠ Liked this episode? Rate, review, and share!

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? Liked this episode? Rate, review, and share! Links: Guest can be found on website.

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.⁠ Liked this episode?

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.⁠ Liked this episode?

This week, our guest is Mitch Weathers who had a ton of great points to share.⁠ ⁠ In this conversation, Mitch introduces us to the "organized binder" which is an evidence based MTSS Tier one universal solution that creates a structured and dependable environment with clear expectations and routines. 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. Liked this episode? Rate, review, and share!

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.

Embrace passion and fearlessness because that's what fuels you to be the best leader you can be!⁠ ⁠ 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! Liked this episode? Rate, review, and share!
