Jauhn Hinkle| Eastlake High School | Welcome Back!An extremely raw, yet lightly cut episode featuring photography teacher, Jauhn Hinkle. A veteran of over 20 plus years in SUHSD, Jauhn is a legend, known for speaking his truth unapologetically, and probably way too often. We discuss Hinkle's storied history in Sweetwater and how he attended school board meetings in a whole ass skunk suit. I cannot tell you how much we laughed during this episode, I don't think we've ever had a guest with as many colorful descriptors as Jauhn. You only know if you listen. What a fantastic way to open up season seven of the podcast and welcome in the '21-'22 school year.Socials:@sr.tejondemiel | @resist_edu | @czareff | @mr_ayyyy

Abel Macias@creatureteacher @culturayskate cultura-y-skate.comAbel Macias is a long-time friend from our days in undergrad at San Diego State University. We grew up in the same neighborhood of East San Diego (nice people call it "City Heights") but we wouldn't cross paths until the mid 90s at SDSU. We start by discussing his experience in education at Horace Mann Junior and Crawford High, and then how his path to being a professor was anything but linear. He currently teaches Chicano and Chicana Studies at San Diego City Community College and San Diego State University. We also also discuss his passion for skating and how that lead to him launching a skate brand, Cultura y Skate. Tune for a robust discussion on skateboards, gangs, higher education and indigenous struggle.Shoutout @resist_edu for the assist on sound, video and cohost duties.Shoutout @profile784 for the head-nodding intro and outro music.

Episode 58: Aled Anaya, Orange Glen High SchoolAled Anaya is a phenomenal artist that has the good fortune to teach students in the same neighborhood and district that he grew up in, Escondido, CA. The son of immigrant parents, Aled details his own struggles with school and how his graphic design course helped shape him into the educator he is today. Aled balances producing amazing art of his own and growing a CTE Graphic Arts program at Orange Glen High School. We get into a rich discussion about the value of a robust CTE program, and how to engage students that find creativity late in their schooling. A self-proclaimed hip-hop head, we ask Aled to give us his Top 5 MC's. He gave us "a baker's dozen". Hence, the subtitle of the episode.

Episode 56 is timely and critical for our students, as we dive into the history and work that has shaped Ethnic Studies in California. Dr. Theresa Montaño and Dr. Guillermo Gomez have been putting in the work for an Ethnic Studies curriculum since 2007. We cover the basics of what Ethnic Studies is, what it should look like in our schools, and why our students have needed this curriculum for decades. The State Board of Education recently accepted a very "watered down" version of ES curriculum due to push back from some very powerful forces, and our guests do not shy away from discussing how this happened. Because the SBE has diluted and co-opted this hard work, Montaño and Gomez discuss ways that teachers and districts can move forward with a liberated Ethnic Studies curriculum. This is a critical listen for any educator or community member that would like to bring this curriculum to a local school district.

Dr. Partida is a dear family friend and one of the most personable doctors in the game. When the world went on quarantine, we knew we had to get Carmen on the show. She asked that we wait a few months until we really had a grasp on just how menacing this virus could be. 9 months later, we got her to record. We get into her origin story, talk about what she has seen in the emergency rooms during the pandemic, and her work in other locales. Do we ask her about the safety of reopening schools and the vaccine? Of course we do. This was such an enlightening episode. The pride of Castle Park High, Dr. Carmen Partida.

Episode 53 - Marianna VinsonHailing from humbled beginnings in Chula Vista, CA, Marianna Vinson has a played several key roles in education. Currently an executive director somewhere very local to the podcast, she has been an elementary teacher, principal, consultant, and a Deputy Director in the Obama Dept of Ed. We’re not gonna lie, we wanted to get some of that tea out of her, because we know she’s seen a lot, but Marianna is extremely kind and professional. There’s a lot of good information here for our listeners who would like to affect education in different arenas. We hope you enjoy the episode.

Cristina is the Assemblywoman for Assembly District 58, which serves several cities in southeast Los Angeles. The Educated Guess reached out to Asm. Garcia because she is not only a fierce advocate for her constituents, but she’s also a former high school math teacher. Her calling to politics was simple. Elected officials from her hometown of Bell Gardens were corrupt. If there is one way to characterize Cristina Garcia, it’s that she does not take her office for granted. You will hear a story of that covers a love of Education and fearless activism. We hope you enjoy the episode. Twitter: @czareff | @resist_edu | @edguesspodcast | @cgarcia_ca

EP052 - Jesus CardenasAt some point, teachers and students need to realize their political capitol. There has to be a model of engagement for young people.

Episode 52 is a fellowship. From student newspaper to political organizer. Step into the arena.

Enjoy the show.@kackjing@parkermeridian@czareff@educatedguesspodcast

We decided to reach out to students from the Class of 2020 to get their experiences of learning and living during the COVID quarantine. This wasn’t our normal trash talking sort of episode, as we really just wanted the raw, real words from students about distance learning, lack of social events, and any successes or struggles they’ve had during this time. They gave advice to the upcoming Class of 2021, and some words of wisdom for teachers in regards to distance learning. Thank you to the students of Southwest High, Bonita Vista High, and Otay Ranch High. We wish you the best as you move on to your next journey. ✌️Twitter: @edguesspodcast | @czareff | @don_dumas | @mr_rodriguez23 | @bohemiangrace IG: @educatedguesspodcast | @czareff | @boemiangrace | @dmdmas | @joel_rodriguez76 #distancelearning #educatorpodcast #podcast #podcastersofinstagram #educatorsofinstagram #classof2020 #classof2020strong

On the Educated Guess Podcast: Live at the Barbeque - Side B, we ask doctors dumb questions. In this segment, "Dr. Solo" and Dr. Dan Garcia shed light on the men's health. Enjoy!

For Episode 39 of the Educated Guess Podcast we tried something a little different...WE WENT LIVE! The "Live at the Barbeque" edition of the show featured a heavy dose of Dr. Martín Casas and Dr. Pilar Vargas who shared their experiences and views on a wide range of topics including PLCs, dual language programs, and the infamous 2019 yearbook. Additionally, they voiced their concerns regarding online learning and independent studies programs. "Live at the Barbeque" also gave us an opportunity to attempt our first round robin segment with the help of Mr. Edward Nuñez (San Diego), Mr. Gerardo Huidor (Chula Vista), and Mr. Marquise Anderson (Los Angeles), who touched on 90s cinema, knowledge of self, and social media. A third segment, featuring "Dr. Solo" and Dr. Dan Garcia, will explore health and science. This portion will be available on "Live at the Barbeque - Side B".

His tagline that stands out above all others is, "From dope dealer to hope dealer." Here the stories and inner machinations of Roberto Rivera. A young man by way of Texas, who would lead a life of social justice activism and entrepreneurship. He would then go on to create his own major surrounding these fields at UWM. We sit down with Roberto for the better part of an hour and get into his thinking and reveal some of the stories. We found it critical for Roberto to identify those moments where he knew he could create and control circumstances in his life. To be fair tho, he was an extremely easy interview and the conversation flowed seamlessly. We hope you like the stellar editing. We have a new member on the Educated Guess Podcast Team and his name is Ed Nuñez. Thank you, Ed!@edguesspodcast@czareff@mr_ayyy@resist_edu

His words are beautiful and powerful, and there is no denying his message. Rodrigo and I discuss our takeaways during the breaks, with our own colorful style that is The Educated Guess Podcast.Enjoy Season 4. Enjoy Brother Ali.

Here on the Educated Guess Podcast, we do ur best to interview educators far and near that refuse to accept the status quo of our craft.  We present to you, Carlos Gonzalez of Los Angeles. Teacher, Assistant Principal, and now principal in South Los Angeles.  His dedication to high expectations for students and staff has, no doubt, lead to his rise as an instructional leader in his district. I first met Carlos at the BOOST conference, where his strong, unapologetic stance on a quality education made an immediate impression on me. Also joining the podcast, is Diego Arancibia.  Brother to Rodrigo, and the first of us to meet and work with Carlos.  Diego would be the director of the Afterschool All Stars, an after school program, at a school where Carlos was the assistant principal.    Both men are game changers in the realm of education, and I want you to hear their stories and perspectives for yourselves.Get at us on them twitters: @czareff @mr_ayyy @d_suli

Introduction by Adrian Arancibia.  Shout out to Diego for the backround information that made this podcast POP! Mr. Gerardo Huidor discusses his struggles with school as a youth in the South Bay.  He would go on to SDSU and nearly drop out, if not for a turning point.  He would go onto get his Masters in Social Work at UCLA and work in that field for a couple of years.But education was his calling.  He went from a middle school to teaching AP World History at a brand new high school in our district, which he has been doing now for almost 15 years.  He is a master.  And his pass rates prove it.  You'd have to hear the story to believe it, and it is our honor to present it to you.https://www.facebook.com/educatedguesspodcast/?ref=bookmarks@czareff @mr_ayyy on them twitters 

EP020 The End of the Year Roundup with Rodrigo and Mr. MorenoThis episode occured the Friday that school let out in our district.  Hence, we had some libations and you can here czareff steadily tail off during the episode.Mr. Moreno is a new teacher in our district, so we decided to pick his brain with SPeedway Stout and Fall Brewing.  We discuss Daily Learning Targets (DLTs), interactive notebooks, and stepping out of your comfort zone.  Mr Moreno is definitely not a teacher who is afraid to try something new, even if it means that the lesson doesn't go as planned.We dip into the music scene, where Mr. Morrissey discusses his introduction to hip hop music.We discuss the new and revised induction program in our district.Enjoy your summer.

Homage to the tour guide of Midnight Marauders.Nikki Eddy is and AP/IB teacher at Castle Park High School, in Chula VIsta, CA. In my humble opinion, her biggest contribution to youth is providing the atmoshpere so students can organize around the issues that are important to them.  So transformative is her approach, that students have taken the lead on some professional development for school staff on issues of social justice.Ms. Eddy also happens to teach one of my favorite classes in high school, Theory of Knowledge, part of the International Baccalaureate program. A course on epistomology, students study how we have formed systems of knowledge since the early inception of rationalized thought. Shout out to Landlord Jim's and ARE (Association of Raza Educators) by Ms. Eddy.  Hope you enjoy the episode.@czareff on the TwittersApple Podcasts, Google Play, Stitcher, Tunein, wherever A1 podcasts can be found.Public Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/educatedguesspodcast/?ref=bookmarks

Two dope boys are at it again, this time we’re in reflection mode!! Fresh off an amazing experience at the 2017 BOOST Conference, we touch base on some key takeaways from the week in the desert. We’ll also talk about after school’s potential when it pair up with the core day correctly and what people who aren't involved with after-school programs can learn from attending boost. Shout outs to  @cxg0564 , @StrengthsGUY , @djtutti_v l @iamEDUCATED l @HIScorevalues , @sabacred for helping create an amazing event and experience!! Peace!! 

An important interview with one of the most experienced and respected educators in San Diego Unified.She preferred to remain somewhat anonymous, since we would talk about current budget issues that have led to the eliminations of departments, RIF notices, and a class action grievance by SDEA (Sand Diego Education Association).Educator Maggie has been in SDUSD for 37 years, serving in many capacities, including technology and ELD. SHe is also a local product of San Diego, graduating from Sweetwater High School and San Diego State.  She pays homage to those who helped her apply to college, which, in her time, was not a common path for people in her community.Powerful words speaking truth.  I hope you like it.Educated Guess Podcast on Facebook@czareff on Twitter and I

We step through with the hot check-in, seeing as world news is moving at neck break speed. Goes down like Spicey drinking a Pepsi on a United flight to Berkeley.  We discuss our dedicated listers and how one local board member decided to stand up for his beliefs. I'm going to City Council next Monday to drop a diss track of Ether caliber. We also provide context for the upcaoming Boost Conference that I Rodrigo and I will attend.  This is the biggest after school conference in the nation and deserving of at least an episode or two.  Be on the look out for those, and check the healthy original breaks that Rodrigo provides.  Peace. @czareff @mr_ayyy
