April shares her strategies for building effective classroom routines and the importance of positive behavior interventions.

I'm thrilled to have Garry Sigle, Central Regional Director, and Sharon Nelson, Sr. Director of Legal Services for the Association of American Educators (AAE) on the show today.AAE provides professional benefits public school employees desire, like liability insurance and job protection, without funding partisan politics or non-education issues.The cost is $234 per year that includes $2 million in liability coverage. In contrast, the NEA cost is more than $1,400 per year that includes just half the liability coverage.In addition, rather than a group policy, AAE offers a per member, per instance policy, which guarantees each member will receive the benefits they are paying for.It's time to get the word out. Hope you can tune in.Support the show

The landscape of education is evolving in the midst of policy changes across the country. In this week's episode, we are joined by Dr. Fatima Brunson, Tenure-track Assistant Professor of Education at Spelman College. Dr. Brunson shares how federal shifts are reshaping learning environments, disproportionately impacting students and educators. Despite this politically charged climate contributing to student and faculty stress, Dr. Brunson highlights the resilience of future educators committed to authentic transformation, justice, and culturally relevant pedagogy. Find out how she empowers students in her class to navigate funding losses, dispel policy myths, and craft student-led policy briefs of alternative solutions with potential for school adoption. Dr. Brunson completed her Doctorate of Philosophy in Policy Studies and Urban Education from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). As a scholar committed to advancing educational equity, her research examines how schools can strengthen teachers' cultural knowledge and foster responsive teaching practices—critical components of culturally sustaining pedagogy. Her work focuses on urban schools where demographic divides between students and educators often exist, highlighting the conditions that support effective, equity-driven teaching. In partnership with school districts and informal learning spaces like science centers and children's museums, Dr. Brunson explores how educators can work collectively to create humanizing, culturally affirming learning experiences. Through consulting and professional development, she supports organizations in building inclusive environments and enhancing student engagement. At the heart of her work is a deep commitment to ensuring that all children—especially students of color—receive the affirming, high-quality education they deserve. To learn more about Dr. Brunson.

We're diving into a vital topic that touches the heart of our work as birth professionals: supporting mental health during the perinatal period. Whether you're a childbirth educator, a doula, or another type of birth professional, your role is uniquely positioned to offer meaningful support during one of the most emotionally complex times in a person's life.   Perinatal Mental Health Disorders (PMHDs) affect 1 in 5 individuals during pregnancy and postpartum—yet they often go undiscussed or unnoticed. In this episode, we'll explore how educators, doulas, and other birth professionals can create safe spaces for open conversations, recognize the signs of PMHDs, and offer compassionate, informed guidance to students and clients alike.  About Our Guests  Together, Dr. Celeste St. John-Larkin, Dr. Sarah Nagle-Yang, and Dr. Laurel Hicks, help lead the PROSPER program at the University of Colorado School of Medicine—a free, statewide perinatal psychiatric phone and e-consultation service that supports front-line healthcare providers in screening, assessing, and treating mental health and substance use conditions in pregnant and postpartum patients.

I shed 30 pounds, and I'm feeling the best I've felt in a while. But it was 30 difficult days - of cravings, headaches, mood swings, brain fog, fatigue, you name it… But it was necessary, and it made me think, “What would that look like for our schools? Our school districts? Our educators and their classrooms?”Our schools and our young people are struggling.

Teaser:I've been having a lot of conversations with APs and other leaders recently and one of the common themes is how overwhelming the work is right now and how hard it can be to invest in self-care. Mara and I discussed some self-care strategies a couple weeks ago in episode 271. One thing we did not talk about is how to unplug from the day so your time away form work is… well, time away from work. We are going to get technical and discuss specific strategies and habits you can adopt to increase the likelihood that you can leave your work behind. There are a couple caveats to this: For many of you, there are job responsibilities you have in the evening (subs and buses) – and we will look at how to work from home in the healthiest way possible next week. The other caveat is these techniques are helpful but they are not a panacea. We'll touch a bit more on that as we dive into the show.Sponsor Spot 1:I'd like to thank Kaleidoscope Adventures for sponsoring today's show.

(wish her well at mara@frederickbuskey.com or marabuskeyllc@gmail.com)Key Points Part 1Let's not sugar coat things – it's hard right nowThings probably aren't going to get much better in the near futureBurnout is an organizational problem (See also Helen Kelly in episodes 141 and 182)That said, there are things we can do to make it “suck less.”Today: transition home, next week: how to protect home time when you must work from homeOpening with encouragement to do 5mc (it is about reclaiming purpose and being able to say, today, I moved my school forward)Simple and fastGets you critical insightsBuilds relationshipsBuilds teacher capacitySponsor Spot 2:I want to thank IXL for sponsoring this podcast…Everyone talks about the power of data-driven instruction. But what does that actually look like? Look no further than IXL, the ultimate online learning and teaching platform for K to 12. IXL gives you meaningful insights that drive real progress, and research can prove it. Studies across 45 states show that schools who use IXL outperform other schools on state tests. Educators who use IXL love that they can easily see how their school is performing in real-time to make better instructional decisions. And IXL doesn't stop at just data. IXL also brings an entire ecosystem of resources for your teachers, with a complete curriculum, personalized learning plans, and so much more. It's no wonder that IXL is used in 95 of the top 100 school districts. Ready to join them? Visit http://ixl.com/assistant to get started.Key Points Part 2Begin with these three reflective questions:If burnout is an organizational problem, what's the problem?Imagine 10-20 years into the future. If you keep working the way you are now, and your self-care habits remain the same, what word(s) pop into your head?If you were out for three months, what would happen at work?A leading cause of fatigue and burnout is the inability to leave your work at work. If you want to be successful - as a leader and a person/family member/friend - you must figure out how to leave your work behind. Yes, this is easier said than done (speaking from experience) but we can develop some practices to help.Key components:Concluding the work dayTransitioning to homeEntering home modeConcluding the work dayReflect on the day, including identifying:Regrets and missed opportunitiesWins and celebrationsIf there is a serious issue that will be difficult to let go of, journal about it and do as much processing as you can. When you close the journal, close your mind. Also, do your journaling in a personal notebook you take home with you, not on a work-owned computer. When the issue intrudes on your thoughts at home, acknowledge and let it go.Identify the three most important priorities for the next day and time block them on your calendar.Transitioning to homeBe intentional about what you do with the trip home.You can use this as reflection time or professional learning (podcasts), but that undermines your transition. It is better to listen to professional podcasts on the way to work (that's why we release at 6 am instead of 3 pm) and listen to music or something that grounds you in your non-professional life on your way home.Entering Home ModeAs soon as you get home, change into casual non-work clothesCreate a specific routine to signal yourself that you are home, such as:Spend time checking in with a loved one (including pets)Imbibe your favorite food or beverage and do something relaxingExercise (consider stopping at a park to walk on your way home – even for five minutes. One step – literally- better than nothing; drive straight to the gym, do not pass Go, do not collect $200

Author ("Southern. Gay. Teacher." and "Gay Arab American and Middle Eastern Men") and former Fulton County educator Randy Fair joined the show today to share with me what prompted him to write an op/ed in the South Florida Sun Sentinel (paywall ... wah wahhh) defending teachers' free speech rights. I read the op/ed for the audience prior to the conversation, so you won't need to pay to read it.In the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk assassination, school systems throughout the country have been suspending and/or terminating educators for social media posts reacting to Kirk's passing. Fair believes this is an overstep. We also discussed what prompted him to write about Gay Arab American & Middle-Eastern Men for his latest book. ------ She's already shattered never-before crossed boundaries as Georgia's first-ever Palestinian-American lawmaker, and now, Rep. Ruwa Romman wants to be Georgia's first woman governor. She spent time with me to discuss what prompted her to run for the Democratic Party's nomination with an already-heavy ticket.
