Dolphins Swim in a Pod(cast)

Join us (well, one of us, really) with guest Kate Baskwell as we take a deep dive into the art of teaching Sports Medicine, Med Terms and how to be fly in 2021 (ps, not possible). We also learn what should and shouldn't be taken seriously in education!

After a career in law enforcement that included being on patrol, being a detective, being a captain and then into school resource officer work in Chatham County, Cpl. Priest takes a few minutes out of his busy day to talk with us about school safety, relationships with students and staff, and, oddly, what to do when a skunk is stuck in your car!

PE Teacher/Baseball Coach/Husband/Father/Chicago Native/All-Around Good Guy Emanuel Wheeler joins us for this first episode of 2021. If you need inspiration - this is your guy.

Actually it's really much about the holidays. It's not a whole heck of a lot about Ben Crews, either. It's just three teachers almost at the Christmas break sitting back and riffing on music, making jokes and discussing the inherent qualities of a fine establishment like Applebee's.

Snakes, Chinchillas, Guinea Pigs and all things soil (not dirt!) with Agricultural Education pioneer and former BCHS Teacher of the Year, Beth Ann Melton!

This episode features Missouri native by-way-of New Orleans Biology teacher extraordinaire and Leader in Me student team advisor Aimee Whitesell. She gives us a little of her past and a little of her future while describing the present situation in her third year here at Battery Creek!

Our first episode of Season 2 starts with a deep, heartwarming conversation with our Instructional Coach Ayanna Anderson! Listen as she talks about her childhood in St. Louis and her decision to stop this summer in both Little Rock, Arkansas and Selma, Alabama to reflect on her own upbringing.

Despite a couple technical glitches, we were lucky to be able to catch up (via Zoom!) with Earth Science teacher Krista Robles to talk about the Long Island, NY native's first year in South Carolina and plans for Year 2!

First year Athletic Director and Battery Creek Alum Sarah Hayes talks to us about sports, her own journey from Beaufort to Brown University back to Beaufort. This one-time basketball phenom was also Teacher of the Year once upon a time. Listen to how she's putting the student back in student-athlete!

BCHS Theatre teacher extraordinaire Sara Hollenbeck brings the drama in this week's episode. Straight from the stage to your ears for your listening pleasure - this multi-talented second-year teacher tells us about herself and her classes! FYI, none of this was scripted...just improv as always.

Straight from Pakistan (via temporary home on Lady's Island), exchange student Hania Nadeem explains her choice to come to America as a student in the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study program, her favorite spicy and non-spicy foods, the educational differences in Pakistan AND the best television show she discovered while on quarantine with her host family! We've got a lot to learn from this culturally sophisticated student - come listen!

Co-host Justine Hardy talks with Media Specialist Ryan Copeland about her experience this year as a first year teacher at Battery Creek High School, along with what led her to join the education field! PS - it's funny, too. At least we both hope so. Talking about school is unlistenable (hint: not a word) without jokes.
