The Teachers Lounge

We often hear from others a lot of complaining about how schools are failing. Too often, it's the teachers themselves who are negative about their profession.

Teachers, before we start the beginning of another school year I feel like it's important to hear the messages from those who are at the end of this life. What would they do differently? A conversation with your dying self could change how you live your life for the upcoming school year. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mr-bryans-classroom/message

As I wrap season two of the podcast, this episode serves as an epilogue. While we get ready to start our summer break in the States my time away from the classroom will be extended. Since the field of education doesn't seem to be making positive changes for teachers it's time for me to make a change. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mr-bryans-classroom/message

As the school year is coming to an end, many teachers shut down and give the students unstructured free time. While this may work with some groups, for many teachers it can lead to more stress and classroom management problems. In this episode, Bryan shares some ideas on how you can end the school year on a fun note, yet stay true to the learning environment. After all, students have all summer to rest and goof around. It shouldn't happen in your classroom. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mr-bryans-classroom/message

Our culture is one who likes to whine and complain. Many people see themselves as victims, and today's students are no exception. Regardless of what grade you teach, educators are bombared by a variety of excuses. Bryan encourages listeners to not accept your average student excuse. Don't get angry, get creative. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mr-bryans-classroom/message

Almost every teacher has a classroom where there is one unmotivated student, regardless of what you try. The parents have lost hope. Is this failure your fault? Could a better teacher have done better? Not likely. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mr-bryans-classroom/message

This episode was previously released in 2016. With our current times, now seems like a good time to revisit it and be reminded of the impact teachers have on their students. Like Ben Ellis, one day we will die. Make the most out of the opportunities the teaching profession presents to you. One never knows what kind of impact you can have on others. My grandmother, who was a teacher, was honored at a 50th high school reunion. She was remembered as an inspiration and friend to all. What will our students remember about us, and our action, long after we leave them? Here's a hint. It won't be about test driven data and meeting state standards for testing. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mr-bryans-classroom/message

Happy New Year! Joining us on this season premiere of my podcast for teachers is Vicki Davis (@coolcatteacher). She too is a teacher and podcaster.

With the current cost of living, and the struggles of the teaching profession here in the States, many teachers are wanting change. Some teachers realize that little will change in their favor. So they make a change by teaching overseas like South Korea where the profession is better respected and the stress is less. In this episode, we talk with a young teacher in South Korea who gives us some insight into the pros/cons of teaching overseas. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mr-bryans-classroom/message

Are you looking for a strategy that allows you to do some lecture but also builds in time for student interaction? In this episode, I'll share the Ten Plus Two strategy from the "Let's Teach" YouTube channel found at https://youtu.be/Y2udPWz_3vg

The Teachers Lounge goes live with special guest Dr. James Hughey. Dr. Hughey is a retired teacher/psychologist who will offer some insight for teachers about taking care of their mental health. He'll also share teaching strategies that have worked well for him.  For blog posts, podcasts, and videos from Dr. Hughey visit pfpl.us.

 Despite the fact that teaching seems to be phasing out of modern classrooms, many of us in education recognize its value. In fact, many teachers are doing their best to keep creativity in classrooms.   However, like our car batteries, we sometimes wear down and our inspiration to be creative is lost. We can enter a rut.   Fortunately, this rut can be temporary.  On this episode, Bryan shares a blog post from "Write On With Mrs. G" that can help us jump-start our creativity as a teacher. 

On the podcast, Bryan will not only share his own views and experiences but feature the voice of other educators as well. Some are featured in a conversational episode and others are highlighted by having their written words read aloud.   This episode features an article from edutopia.org titled "How Novice and Expert Teachers Approach Classroom Management Differently" byYouki Terada. A recent "study reveals the ways in which new and experienced teachers think about discipline—plus 6 takeaways for managing your classroom effectively this year." Whether you are an experienced teacher, or a fairly new educator, the Teachers Lounge believes you will find some value from this article. 

Recently, I lost my dog of 13 years. Max was fortunate to spend his senior years working in my classroom.  I heard from many parents, staff, and students about the impact Max had on the school.  The right animal in the right classroom can provide a lot of value. Janelle's Cox article lists the following benefits:  Teaches Responsibility: Having a classroom pet allows children to understand the responsibility that is involved in order to take care of an animal. Whether it’s feeding it lunch or cleaning out the cage, children will learn what it takes to care for something other than themselves. Students Learn Compassion: A classroom pet is a great way to teach children compassion and how to nurture. Children will learn how to properly handle and care for the pet. Even the toughest of kids will have the chance to practice his/her nurturing skills. They will learn that they need to treat the pet carefully in order for it to trust them. Is Therapeutic for Children: Classroom pets can bring calmness to children who have anxiety or stress in their lives. Studies show that classroom animals lessen tension and help children to be calmer. What teacher wouldn’t want that in their classroom? Can be good for Your Health: There has been a lot of research on the benefits of animals and your health. Studies not only show that children who have pets are better equipped to fight off infection, but they also tend to average more days at school than children who do not have a pet. It Enriches the Classroom Experience: Classroom pets introduce children to the world of animals. If students don’t have a pet of their own at home, they can see, feel, touch, and learn what it takes to care for one at school.

Educators, may your holiday break be merry and bright! Enjoy this rebroadcast on why you are a big deal.  It's Christmas time in the city, and that means we not only get to enjoy the holiday season but also some much needed time off. It's halftime for us as teachers...a time to rest and also maybe think of how the 2nd half of the year will go. Bryan also shares some inspiring stories from teachers to remind you that we as educators can make a difference.

Shyness is often misunderstood because it is not one emotion, but a mixture of fear, tension, apprehension, or embarrassment. Shy children seem to lack confidence and are self-conscious especially in new surroundings or when they are the center of attention. Changes in the environment and school pressures are also factors that affect a child’s demeanor. It is noteworthy that shyness is not necessarily a negative attribute. Many shy children exhibit an ability to please and think for themselves. Being reserved can also be a worthy personality trait. It is when shyness is severe that educators need to be concerned. Join Bryan in the Lounge as he and education writer Leah Davies (@Kellybearbooks) converse about students who are quiet thinkers and observers. She also manages http://www.kellybear.com What strategies help you in reaching your quiet and shy students?

The Teachers Lounge mourns the loss of an incredible veteran teacher, Evelyn Sellers. Evelyn taught a vast amount of students in over 30 years. She made an incredible impact on her students and fellow teachers; many of whom attended her funeral decades after knowing her. Of course, since she was my mom, she also made an incredibly positive impact on my life.    Evelyn was also a member of our teachers' roundtable on various episodes. The following is an interview clip I did with her on her educational career, and useful strategies to help the current teacher.

Remind is a free tool that has helped me to be more effective with classroom communication by sending quick, simple messages to any device that parents and students may use.  All phone numbers stay private. I talk with Taylor Chapman about the many benefits of using the Remind platform and how it can make us more effective in communicating with students and parents.  Visit Remind and try it out at https://www.remind.com/

Teachers expect their students to listen to adults and to others, but how effectively are we as listeners to our students? Listening is an extremely important skill for educators (communicating with parents, administrators, co-workers, and students) but most of us struggle with being good listeners. Veteran teacher, and retired counselor, Dr. James Hughey joins us in the Lounge to discuss what can truly make a difference in the lives of you and your students for years to come. For Dr. Hughey's podcast “Power For Positive Living” visit PFPL.US

If you watched the Superbowl, you couldn't help but notice the atmosphere was filled with excitement and passion. The announcers, players, fans, and halftime performers acted like they really wanted to be there and enjoyed what they were doing.  Can the same be said about you in your classroom? 

Happy New Year! Joining us on the program to offer some motivation, teaching strategies, and some of what she's learned over her very successful journey as an educator is Vicki Davis (@coolcatteacher). She also hosts a podcast show called "The 10 Minute Teacher" at https://www.coolcatteacher.com/podcast/  

Child abuse is not something we like to discuss, especially this time of year. However, sexual child abuse is going on somewhere right now. Often we as teachers hear this information at the start of the year when we have a ton of responsibilities on our plate and we haven't even met our students. Now as we approach the halfway mark of the year and know our students, The Teachers Lounge goes back to this topic and invites special guests from Darkness to Light (http://www.d2l.org). They are an organization dedicated to helping those children who suffer from sexual abuse. We discuss the myths, our roles as teachers, and useful strategies in dealing with this very dark topic.

Teaching can be a very discouraging field. It's very tempting to gravitate to the dark side while complaining about our career and being very negative. Owen Griffith is our guest in the Lounge. He is a veteran teacher and educational blog writer (http://spirituallyteaching.blogspot.com). Owen has found that teaching gratitude not only has changed the students in his classroom but also has made him a stronger teacher. We discuss the importance of cultivating an attitude of gratitude in our classrooms and the many benefits it brings.

We continue our insightful interview with teacher and author Robert Ward. On part two of this program we discuss more topics from his book The Firm, Fair, Fascinating Facilitator: Inspire your Students, Engage your Class, Transform your Teaching Robert's resource's can be found on Amazon and his blog is at https://rewardingeducation.wordpress.com. Follow him on Twitter at https://twitter.com/RewardingEdu

No smiling till Christmas? Are you acting like a drill instructor for the first few weeks of school? Should we post consequences in our classroom? What about that student who lies and says he is innocent? There are many misunderstandings when it comes to being a firm and fair teacher. Fortunately, we have an experienced educator, mentor, and author to help us reflect on how firm and fair we are in the classroom. Fellow teacher Robert Ward(@RewardingEdu) brings over two decades of classroom experiences to our show and his book: The Firm, Fair, Fascinating Facilitator: Inspire your Students, Engage your Class, Transform your Teaching is currently available wherever books are sold.  "The purpose of this book is to illuminate and equip both current and prospective educators with the necessary knowledge and skills to at long last become that spectacular and satisfied teacher that they had always envisioned themselves to be and that their students so desperately need them to be."

It's that time of year again! Summer vacation is coming to an end and we're getting ready to start a new school year! The start of the year is critical, and so much depends on your attitude. This episode offers some helpful suggestions. For Dr. James Hughey's podcast “Power For Positive Living” visit PFPL.US

Bryan retired The Teachers Land Podcast a few years ago. However, he is surprised after all this time many people are still checking out the old episodes!  Bryan recently celebrates 20 years of classroom teaching by looking back at episodes that were recorded earlier in his career. Do those shows stand the test of time? Years later, Bryan offers his commentary about what was said.  The first episode is the series premiere. Originally entitled, "Carpe Diem" Bryan feels it's important to look back and understand why we wanted to enter such a challenging field. We can also see growth and improvement when we look back. Did we turn into the experienced teachers we envisioned at the start?

Leaving a lucrative advertising career in New York, he got a job as a teacher at a Santa Fe alternative school—and never looked back.

"Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all" -Aristole In the teaching profession, things will come and go. However, relationships with our students will always be what matters. Twenty-six-year teacher Lisa Lee gives an emotional talk about making a difference in children's lives as teachers and teaches us that if we reach the inner core first, the common core is more easily taught.

"Almost half a trillion dollars is spent on K-12 education each year and look at the results.  One out of every four American children reads below grade level. One out of every three high school students do not graduate." Why does this continue to be a problem? Public schools are struggling greatly and politicians are consulted over teachers. What are some solutions to fix America's school system? Join teacher and author Brian Crosby of Smart Kids in Bad Schools on The Teachers Lounge! Please share your thoughts at teachersloungeshow@gmail.com or call the voicemail line at 770-322-4160.

 Educators know all too well that there are a few things that are inevitable, death, taxes, and high stakes testing! What you may not be aware of is the effect it has on students and great teachers, those who stay at work late, not because they didn’t get the mountains of paperwork, intervention plans, and data analysis done during the day, not because they are unorganized poor managers of time, but because it’s the only time they have to do what they were actually hired to do, build relationships and design engaging thought provoking learning experiences for the students they teach.  In this talk, Lifelong Learner, Educator, & Consultant, Chandra Shaw, shares the story of her first year of teaching and a of “politically incorrect” advice on what’s needed for teachers to teach so that ALL students can continue to learn and grow.

This is the time of year when we might start exploring other opportunities in the teaching field. One of the disadvantages of our profession is that teachers have a very small window of time to interview and be hired. Recent layoffs and budget cuts has made it much harder for prospective teachers to find work. With so much competition, you want to make sure your interview goes well. Join experienced teachers Bryan, James, and Evelyn as we hope to make that job interview a positive experience.  Please share your thoughts in the comment section or call the voicemail line at 770-322-4160.

Parent/teacher conferences can be something that both parents and teachers dread. We can get tired of the same old, same old interactions, that really did not affect change. Often this conferences take the shape of telling the parents all the “wrong” things their child is doing to earn a bad grade – or it is a time for the parents of the high performing students to come to school to hear how great their child is or is doing. Most of the time the student is excluded from the conference or not given much of a voice to advocate for themselves. Instead of conferences, why not try goal setting meetings that are led by students? This meeting can be a positive, proactive approach to improve student achievement by facilitating a positive mindset.  This episode will feature youtube teacher Smartatmath who will teach strategies to provide opportunities for student, parent and teacher success. Learning cannot happen if students do not understand the expectations and do not have a positive attitude and mindset. Student success is more likely with parents as part of the instructional team. What strategies have worked well for you? Please share your thoughts in the comment section or call the voicemail line at 770-322-4160.      

Ben Stein as the ultra boring economics teacher in the 1986 film "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" is the blueprint for what we don't want to be as educators. However, many of today's students are seeing the same boring teaching style in their own classrooms. In this day and age, companies are eager for customers opinions and offer deals via social media and customer surveys. They want to hear from their customer base. However, most teachers don't really invite their "customers" to give feedback on how well we are doing and how to improve as educators. At the time of this recording, Vivien Victoriano was a 6th grade student at Charles S. Rushe Middle School in Pasco county Florida. Her Ted Talk can be found at https://youtu.be/wHDFCeJgYlw.  We invite her voice and opinion on the show. We will also discuss some example strategies to make class more engaging and interesting. Modern education is becoming more dynamic and engaging. Some students have trouble keeping their attention. How do you keep your class interesting?

The demands of the teaching profession are both challenging and stressful. The last thing we need is to live a life borrowing money, living paycheck to paycheck, and having debt collectors reach us at work. The Teachers Lounge will incorporate living a healthy life in selected episodes. Bryan is a big believer that an unhealthy teacher is not as effective in their classrooms. If we bring money stress into a stressful job, it can have an impact on our school year. To help motivate us to a debt free year, this episode features a post from theteacherswife.com called "Our Journey to Debt-Free Living" and a clip from Dave Ramsey's youtube channel "Two Teachers Expel $76,000 of Debt in 30 Months"! Day one or one day....the choice is yours. Are you a teacher that is debt free?
