Teachers, tell me if this sounds familiar: When you first start teaching, it's survival mode. Next thing you know you're barking orders, becoming the disciplinarian.

In this episode of Room to Grow, Joanie and Curtis have conversations with middle and high school students to gain their perspectives on learning math. They interviewed six students from grades 7-12 in three different sessions. Because all of these conversations were rich with great comments, the next two episodes of Room to Grow will be devoted to these students' perspectives.  Part 1 focuses on what the students said their teachers do or don't do in the classroom that supports their learning. We heard about the importance of being able to talk to others during class, to move around and actively engage students in the lesson, and understanding, supporting, and normalizing that students learn at different paces. Future episodes center on the conversations around homework and the importance of their teachers in forming their own mathematical identity and the culture of learning in the classroom. You may be surprised at how much you learn from these students.We encourage you to explore the resources below, referenced in this episode:Riya's Ramblings podcast – find on your favorite podcast platform or HERE on Apple PodcastsResources for getting students talking in math classBlog post on developing math language routinesBlog post with strategies for supporting mathematics discourse in your classroomResources for getting students up and moving in classBlog post with ideas for beginning, middle and end of classBlog post with easy to implement ideas Did you enjoy this episode of Room to Grow?

Welcome to our Summer Replay series. We wanted to revisit some of our previous episodes. These episodes were previously recorded and aired at an earlier date. This episode originally aired on September 28, 2022.   According to a 2022 study by the CDC, 37% of U.S. high schoolers have faced mental health struggles amid the COVID pandemic. These struggles highlight students' need for a positive, welcoming environment during the new school year. We couldn't think of a better guest to discuss positivity than CERTIFIED Ambassador, Abner Soto-Henry.  Abner Soto-Henry has taught information technology education for nearly 20 years at the Latin American Youth Center Career Academy, specializing in Microsoft certifications, IC3 Digital Literacy certifications, and CompTIA certifications. In total, Mr. Soto-Henry has more than 24 years of experience in education. Originally from Costa Rica, Abner speaks fluent Spanish, English, and Portuguese, enabling him to connect with the students he serves. He has received several awards, including being named Certiport's 2021 Educator of the Year. A former professional soccer player, his passion for teaching is only rivaled by his love of the game. In this episode, we talk with Abner about the positive and negative influences at play in the lives of today's students. Abner paints a picture of the ideal classroom and talks about ways to connect with students to make your dream classroom a reality. And last, but certainly not least, he offers advice for how to fill your own cup, so you can emanate positivity in the classroom each and every day.  Want to connect with Abner for more positive energy and advice?

Supporting Early Career Teachers – a Systems Approach Show Description:With all the challenges we face, it can be difficult to focus on just one thing.

When I was a classroom teacher without any kids, I had no idea of the correlation or commonality that being a parent and a teacher would have. Now, being a parent, I would do some things differently and have a different lens on, which is why I've loved doing this series on things I've learned from parenting that can apply to teaching. In this episode, we're wrapping up this series on ways to build a team mindset into your classroom culture. Classrooms and families are very similar in that they're both run as a community or unit. Even though each person has individual roles, everyone needs to function as a whole. I know that building a positive and inclusive classroom culture is so important, but I'm also discussing ways you can build a team mindset, get your students involved, and have them get to know each other. Being the leader of your classroom, you will show them how and explain why it's essential in building a classroom culture. Managing your classroom isn't just about disruptive behaviors or challenging students. It's also about how your classroom functions and the feelings students have within your four walls. Personally, I want my classroom and home to be a safe place with positivity and inclusion. So, if you want to create the same in your classroom, make sure you build a team mindset into your classroom culture!

Imagine stepping into the heart of Southern Utah's educational battlegrounds with Joann Brinton, whose candidacy for the State Board of Education hinges on a rich personal narrative and a fervent desire to shape the future of our schools. Her story, stretching from South Texas to the rugged landscapes of Utah, frames a discussion that's as varied as it is vital: the balance of funding, culture, and parental rights in our children's classrooms. Whether it's the role of history in creating critical thinkers or the effect of gender on teaching methods, Joanne's insights crack open the door to a world where education and community values are in a constant, stirring dance.Our conversation took unexpected turns, reflecting on the political awakenings amid the pandemic, which unified communities in unprecedented ways. Through the eyes of a deeply involved citizen—active in local politics and women's groups—listeners get a front-row seat to the debates stirring in educational circles about grade systems, meritocracy, and the fine line between innovation and tradition. With Joanne's story as a backdrop, we traverse the evolving landscape of Utah's educational standards, accountability, and the potent mix of politics and pedagogy that defines our children's learning environments.As we chart the tumultuous waters of education funding and teacher burnout, the narrative takes a sobering turn, laying bare the intricate relationship between district-level decisions and the educators who deliver on their promises. At the core of our discussion lies a fundamental question: how do we keep the essence of educational excellence alive amid the whirlpool of administrative demands and curriculum controversies? From the campaign trails to the school hallways, join us on a profound journey, uncovering the layers of influence, ambition, and hope that make up the tapestry of education in Utah.Find Joann here:https://www.joannbrinton.com/Find Wealth 435 here:https://realestate435.kw.com/Find Blue Form Media here:https://www.blueformmedia.com/

Join Staci Gilpin and Courtney Plotts in their research on how social media impacts the educational journey and engagement of undergraduate students. They explore the transformative power of social media in bridging a genuine human connection, and discuss strategies to integrate social media into the educational journey, sharing insights on cultivating communities, empowering students, and enhancing the overall learning experience. Discover how social media is reshaping education, fostering lifelong connections, and preparing students for the interconnected world of tomorrow."Humaneness can transcend technology, it really can, and that's what it comes down to. And at the end of the day, we can't be everything for every student, but we can give them access to what they need in those psychological and social spaces for a relationship, for connection, for those other important pieces of learning, right? Because learning is not done alone. It's done in a community."Recommended Resources:Research article by Staci Gilpin and Courtney Plotts: From Likes to Learning: Enhancing Classroom Culture through Social Media EngagementOther related articles:Using Social Media to Retain and Connect with Students in the Shift to Online EducationAdventures with Snapchat in an Online CourseBitmojis, Gifts, and Snaps in the Classroom?

For years I have done management and discipline trainings for new teachers. For years, those trainings changed little. Recently though, by approach has shifted. I'm now focusing on helping teachers build positive classroom cultures, by attending to three elements:1.     First and most importantly are relationship2.     Second is classroom management3.     Third is classroom safety, which is more accurate term than discipline. I'm in the process of developing a series of virtual courses for teachers, but also for leaders, because there are some things I think we need to change.
