Podcasts about be who our students need us

There is so much work to be done to create the type of joyous and just schools that our students deserve, and each day seems to bring yet another trauma or challenge to contend with. To help us unpack and find a path forward during these challenging times, we chat with Kass and Cornelius Minor, two titans of dope teaching who together lead the Minor Collective. We explore Kass' new book Teaching Fiercely, reflect on Cornelius' celebrated 2018 book We Got This, and explore the potential of radical hope and community in building a more humanizing school system. But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent headlines in education including one study about white families moving away from Asian families in order to avoid academic competition and an AP story examining the work of Louisiana's unapproved private schools. → Get your Teach the Truth T-Shirt here! → View this episode on YouTube!

In this episode we talk about self-care—how we do it, why we don't—and the ways grief, caregiving, and rest are all forms of self-care. First, we speak with Massachusetts-based social worker Adya Lindo, whose primary work during COVID has become supporting school-age youth in their grieving journeys and educators who work with grieving students—even as they're grieving loss themselves. We also speak with high school English educator Christa Calkins and her newborn Wilder in rural New York during a time of parental leave. She discusses how her journey as a new parent has made her re-examine her relationship with care, capitalism, and whiteness. Our first Resource Room of the new year is with Cesarina Pierre Santana, an elementary educator in Washington, DC, who talks about being in her 26th year of teaching and what she's unlearning in order to listen to her students. The convo with Cesarina was so delicious we will share part two in March. We also hear from fifth grader Sabreena, who comes to us from Singapore to share an essay she wrote about her faith, Islam. In this new year of learning, what are you refusing and unlearning? What commitments are you making to your self-care?

Hello everyone! It has been said that middle school is where the love of reading goes to die... but not if Christina Hanson has anything to say about it! Christina, otherwise known as @Hansonhallway on Instagram, has a lot to say about how to get kids engaged with books. Under her deeply engrained philosophy of letting students read what they want and often in class, is solid pedological practice that includes reading a picture book a day, and being a reader herself. If you feel like reading is dying in your class, or maybe on your campus. this is the episode for you.     This episode is sponsored by Heinemann—the leading publisher of professional books and resources for educators—and their professional book, We Got This: Equity, Access, and the Quest to Be Who Our Students Need Us to Be by Cornelius Minor. Powerful teaching is rooted in powerful listening. What we hear can spark action that allows us to make powerful moves toward equity by broadening access to learning for all children. In We Got This, Cornelius Minor identifies tools, attributes, and strategies that can augment our listening, empowering us to take the steps to start influencing the systems that govern our classrooms and schools. We do not teach for what is. We teach for what can be. Craft better heroes…not just for the students that you hope to teach, but for the world that you hope to build.  We Got This  is available as a book, ebook, and audiobook.

Hello everyone! As the world grapples with crisis after crisis, we have all turned our gaze to the leaders of our communities. Leadership is hard. It is a lonely profession. Yet, according to my guest Jimmy Casas, it is the single most vital piece to an effective institution.

This week, he dives into what we can do about it. Whether you are looking to come out of a dark place in your career or position, or simply want to improve the campus you are on, this episode is for you.         This episode is sponsored by Heinemann—the leading publisher of professional books and resources for educators—and their professional book, We Got This: Equity, Access, and the Quest to Be Who Our Students Need Us to Be by Cornelius Minor.

Hello everyone! Coming off fresh from my 2 hour episode with Eric Weinstein, I wanted to talk about behavior and better ways we can respond as teachers. To do so, I brought on the amazing Ms. Chyna, a behavioral special education teacher, otherwise known as @especiallysped on Instagram. In this talk, we set the stage for how we should be thinking about behavioral issues in the class, and then move on to discuss ineffective and effective ways to deal with such problems. But most importantly, we discuss why humanizing our interactions with our most challenging students can be the real difference.     This episode is sponsored by Heinemann—the leading publisher of professional books and resources for educators—and their professional book, We Got This: Equity, Access, and the Quest to Be Who Our Students Need Us to Be by Cornelius Minor.
