We Didn't Know What We Didn't Know- Stories of Teaching Over Three Decades
Do you have something to add to the conversation? Please text us today. Thanks! In this laugh-out-loud short, our 50th episode, (!) retired educators Sue and Lisa dive into the absurd yet hilarious idea of a nursing home exclusively for retired teachers. Imagine ex-principals thinking they are running the place, while residents engage in wheelchair races, balloon volleyball, and GoNoodle brain breaks. Hallways are adorned with blue pocket charts displaying daily schedules, and every meal feels like a nostalgic trip to the school cafeteria—complete with plastic trays and the obligatory "May I be excused?" Decor competitions are fierce, with doors decked out for every holiday. The laminator is always on and ready for residents to plasticize ANYTHING! The duo muses about continuing their podcast in their golden years, but calling it, “Get Me Outta Here.” Blending summer camp vibes with educator quirks, this imagined nursing home is a new take on retirement. It's a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the lighter side of teaching!#TheyDontPayMeEnoughForThis, #IGiveUp, #HandsToYourself, #WhyDoIBotherDressingUp, #WhatItsAllAbout, #LessonPlan, #BathroomBreak, #DanielsonModel, #TryingToBeNice, #StopTheWorldIWantToGetOff, #WeDidntKnow, #WeDidntKnowWhatWeDidntKnow, #StressedTeacher, #funny,#NiceTry #StillFail #elementaryHumor, #DoAsISayNotAsIDo , #AForEffort, #IsItSummerYet, #ImHip #CoolTeacher, #WhyIsThisSticky, #ClassPets Please contact us with comments or questions at podcastwedidntknow@gmail.com.

n this video interview, Steve Mesler, Co-Founder of Classroom Champions, and Seth Rosenzweig, the organization's new CEO, discuss what the organization does and the recent change in leadership. PRESS RELEASE Calgary, AB – Classroom Champions, a leading global charity empowering students socially, emotionally and academically through the mentorship and mindset of World Class Athlete Mentors, today announced a significant leadership transition. After over a year of planning, Steve Mesler, co-founder and Olympic gold medalist, will be stepping down from his role as CEO after 15 years and will take on a new position as Chair of the Board of Directors. Concurrently, Seth Rosenzweig, a seasoned nonprofit leader and former CEO of Team IMPACT, will assume the CEO role at Classroom Champions and guide the organization into the future. Mesler, a renowned U.S. Olympic bobsledder who broke the country's 62-year draught when he won a gold medal in the four-man event at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, co-founded Classroom Champions in 2009 with his sister Dr. Leigh Parise.

Mesler has been instrumental in the organization's development and growth, expanding its reach to serve millions of students across North America and around the globe through powerful partnerships such as NBC Olympics, the NHL, Airbnb, Canadian Tire's Jumpstart charity, the Bualo Bills, Team Canada, Google, GoNoodle, and many more. Through his work building Classroom Champions over the past 15 years, Mesler has been recognized as a finalist for the International Champion for Peace, one of Sports Illustrated's “Athletes Who Care,” and was recently awarded the Government of Canada's second highest civilian award, the Meritorious Service Medal from the Governor General of Canada, for Classroom Champions' contributions to educational opportunities for Canadian children. As Chair, Mesler will remain deeply involved and work with Rosenzweig to propel Classroom Champions into thousands more schools to reach millions more children. Reflecting on his transition, Mesler said, “Seeing Classroom Champions evolve into what it is today is both exciting and humbling. I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved for so many children and look forward to continuing to support the organization's mission in my new role as Chair of the Board of Directors. From the moment I met Seth, I recognized that his personal character, combined with his incredible experience building organizations leveraging athletes to help kids, meant that he could be the ideal leader to usher Classroom Champions into its next phase of growth and impact. I feel fortunate and excited he'll be putting on the Classroom Champions jersey.” Seth Rosenzweig brings a wealth of experience in nonprofit leadership and a passion for youth empowerment to his new role as CEO of Classroom Champions. As the former CEO of Team IMPACT, Rosenzweig spearheaded the organization's eorts to connect children facing serious and chronic illnesses with college athletic teams, fostering impactful relationships that provided crucial emotional support and inspiration. In his eight years stewarding Team IMPACT, Rosenzweig led the organization to unprecedented growth. Among Rosenzweig's core objectives in the role is to expand Classroom Champions' footprint across North America. Rosenzweig said, “I am honoured to join Classroom Champions as CEO and to work alongside such a dedicated team making a tangible dierence for students. I am deeply inspired by the organization's mission to empower students through mentorship, and I am excited to begin advancing our impact and reach. I look forward to collaborating with our athlete mentors, educators, and partners to create positive change in the lives of even more deserving students.” As Classroom Champions embarks on this new chapter, the charity remains steadfast in its commitment to empowering students to become resilient, compassionate, and confident community leaders.

Educators know mental health must be treated like physical health - it's a basic need that must be met for students to be able to successfully learn and grow in our schools. But, since even before the pandemic, there's been a growing mental health crisis among children. Dr. Ariana Hoet, executive clinical director for Nationwide Children's Hospital's On Our Sleeves program, joins the Ohio Education Association for this episode to discuss factors that contribute to the crisis, what can be done to support students in schools, and the resources available to help educators help kids. In this episode, we also hear some of the message and a new resolution from the Ohio House of Representatives that was shared with educators as part OEA's first-ever Public Education Matters Day celebrations across the state.IMPORTANT RESOURCES | Click here to learn more about On Our Sleeves, and check out some of the following resources for educators: GoNoodle: https://www.gonoodle.com/tags/L2nZb2/all-the-feels Teacher curriculums: https://www.onoursleeves.org/mental-wellness-tools-guides/educator-sign-up Sign up for teacher listserv: https://www.onoursleeves.org/sign-up (just click educator) Follow On Our Sleeves on Instagram at @onoursleevesofficial and On Our Sleeves on Facebook.

Featured Public Education Matters guests: Dr. Ariana Hoet, PhD, On Our Sleeves Executive Clinical Director Ariana Hoet, pediatric psychologist at Nationwide Children's Hospital and executive clinical director of On Our Sleeves, is the driving force behind its mission of providing educational resources that break stigmas, increase mental health literacy, and support children's mental health. Dr. Hoet believes all children and families should have a fair opportunity to be as healthy as possible. That enthusiasm extends into her desire for making sure that people of all backgrounds are accepted and celebrated – a passion born from her own experience as an immigrant to the U.S. from Venezuela. Her work in this arena led her to being recognized as a Distinguished Hispanic Ohioan by the Ohio Commission on Hispanic/Latino Affairs and an “EXTRAordinary” Volunteer by the Down Syndrome Association of Central Ohio for her work within the Spanish-speaking community. Dr. Hoet works in Pediatric Primary Care where she serves primarily Latino and Somali immigrant children. She is also a clinical assistant professor of Pediatrics in the Department of Pediatric Psychology and Neuropsychology at Nationwide Children's Hospital and The Ohio State University, with a role in training the next generation of behavioral health professionals who will tackle the emerging mental health crisis in children. Dr. Hoet has become a go-to national expert for outlets including USA Today, CNN, Good Morning America, and Newsweek because she is a vital public voice for youth mental health, and also because she has made an impact on countless young lives in her clinical practice. The work of On Our Sleeves and Dr. Hoet helped draw U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek H. Murthy to Nationwide Children's in October of 2022 to discuss the county's growing pediatric mental health crisis. In panel discussions before central Ohio business executives at Nationwide Children's, and with hundreds of college students at Otterbein University, Dr. Hoet and Dr. Murthy spoke passionately about addressing often-misunderstood mental health challenges. Dr. Hoet is the proud mom of a toddler and enjoys family time, dancing, and Ohio State football. She is also involved in Latino community events, both personally and professionally. Dr. Hoet is the co-founder and vice president of Parenting Culture, a national non-profit for culturally responsive and inclusive parenting resources and a board member of Proyecto Mariposas, the Columbus non-profit serving Latina mothers and daughters. She received her bachelor's degree in psychology from The Ohio State University and a doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of North Carolina-Greensboro. She completed her residency at The University of Colorado School of Medicine and a post-doctoral fellowship at Akron Children's Hospital.

Levi seems to be grumpy and demanding Go Noodle videos on the ipad. Everyone wants to help, so the family jumps into action to find him some goat noodles.... almost what he wants. Silly and Funny Things are our family's bedtime stories. Each boy (Miles, Ari, and Levi) gets to pick a word that will show up in the story. The stories aren't edited (who has time for that) and they include everything from chit-chat to us reprimanding our kids - a very immersive experience.

Regulate, Relate, ReasonToday we talk about Dr. Bruce Perry's work and the Neurosequential Model. https://www.neurosequential.com/ We have read Dr. Perry's books, including The Boy Who Was Raised As A Dog and What Happened to You?, and we love the perspective the Neurosequential model brings to the table when it comes to managing students in the classroom. Dr. Perry reminds us that we have to start with regulating the body before we can relate, and those two things need to be addressed before we begin to reason. Listen in as we talk about what this means for the classroom.Welcome to season 3 of Arkansas A.W.A.R.E.!Join Betsy Kindall, Nicole Fairchild, and Stacy Moore as they discuss issues related to mental health in education. Their conversations are witty and relate-able, simultaneously shedding light on issues that can sometimes be hard to confront or understand.

One of the main reasons I started a podcast is to share ideas. Sometimes these ideas just happen to also be products and today I have an amazing idea and story-based product to share with you. I am chatting with Drew Vernon, marketing director for Tonies, USA, but this is not a sponsored episode. Drew and I have similar passions for creative play and screen-free storytelling that develops a young person's imagination. We both love inspiring creativity in kids and adults and of course for me, it's always about stories and connection. I think you're really going to enjoy this conversation and the chance to learn about a product that should be championed and shared. So, what exactly is this product that promotes ALL of these things? It's a Toniebox. In simple terms it is a box that even young child can learn to use (and not destroy) that plays audio when you attach a small figure, called a Tonie. There are content Tonies for dozens of beloved characters from classic literature to Disney movies and more on the way. In fact, Winnie the Pooh was just added! And Tonies is continually partnering with companies—like Go Noodle and expert personalities—like LeVar Burton—to provide top notch content and an inspiring and elevating listening experience. Even with all of this amazing content, I am still a BIGGER fan of the Creative Tonies (little pointy-eared figures) that work with a FREE app to allow a grandparent (or any other loved one) to send messages and stories to a child. The Creative Tonie also allows kids to create their own content. Drew talked about giving his kids some creative parameters that unleashed 45 minutes of imaginative play—so cool. And, I can just imagine recording my voice sharing a personal, family or family history story in my app and having that instantly made available and enticing to my granddaughter and future grandkids! Audio stories take children on a journey from consuming to creating. First they create active listeners and then they turn those listeners into authors. — Drew Vernon IF you're a teacher, learn more about Tonies for Teachers and sign up to be in the loop moving forward!Marketing from Tonies: Childhood is a sacred, precious time in life. Even long after we've grown, the memories we make in childhood have the power to transport us back to a time or place or person to re-experience what we felt in that moment long ago. The stories we fall in love with in the early days and years of our lives transcend simple entertainment, they seed powerful memories and spark nostalgia. They teach us about the world and about each other. They become a part of a narrative we carry with us throughout our lives. Meet the FoundersWe are Patric Faßbender and Marcus Stahl and we created tonies with one thing in mind: our kids. Childhood should be a magical time full of big adventures and loveable memories. We wanted to create a way for kids to experience storytelling in a digital age, that stimulates their imagination in ways that a screen can't. We made the Toniebox for kids (and parents) who want to feel good about their entertainment at home and to bring back imagination in its purest form.We built tonies to be an immersive, wondrous experience you can feel good about, but more importantly a community you can be part of now and for many years to come.With quality screen-free audio, we can help our kids become active learners and enable them to develop the imagination they will need to become the thought leaders driving innovation in the future. AND, to that end, I have one Toniebox to give away!To make yourself eligible for a random drawing, please leave a comment below. Feel free to tell me who you are excited to share this idea and product with …

Mike welcomes Dan Carroll, the co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Clever, which helps K-12 school districts, educators, and students navigate some of the complexities of the digital world. They begin by discussing Dan’s early career teaching for Teach for America, and then his move into educational technology administration. Frustrated by the speed he could launch new initiatives, with some friends he founded Clever to help teachers and students gain access to edtech easily and scalably. Dan and Mike discuss Clever’s early days, and the “chicken and egg” problem of getting both schools and edtech companies initially to sign up. By charging only the vendors, they grew fast and now have nearly ½ of all American K-12 students signing on through Clever. They explore Clever’s dedication to security and privacy and following laws like COPPA and FERPA. They then discuss how Clever can help with the digital divide, including a compelling case of helping the Oakland school district provide its students with educational access during COVID-19. Dan tells Mike more about initiatives to help teachers during the pandemic, and how the Clever “Library” gives teachers and students access to a myriad of free resources, including the most popular, GoNoodle. Dan and Mike finish up discussing the importance of curiosity for learning, and their hopes that schools hold onto the best of the innovation that happened under COVID.

Carl Orff was born in 1895 and passed away in 1982. He was a composer from Germany and a very important figure in elementary music education. Carl Orff showed a great deal of talent in music at an early age and his mother decided to have him start playing the piano at the age of 5. He was even writing his own music in his early years! He then started to take lessons on the cello, which is an instrument that is part of the string family. Young Carl then added the organ as another instrument to learn. The organ is typically found in a church and has a bunch of pipes, large and small that are all connected to a large keyboard, and when you press a key down on the organ, it sends air through the pipes to make a large sound. Well, as the years went Carl continued to learn and began publishing music that he wrote at the age of 16 while continuing his studies into his 20’s and then began teaching. In 1924, he founded a school called the Günther School for gymnastics, music, and dance in Munich and was the head of the school until 1944 when it shut down. There he developed new methods of teaching kids music and called it “Schulwerk” which combines music, movement, drama, and speech. Many teachers use Carl Orff’s methods found in his published work even today! It allows kids to be in a natural state of play; making the best environment for learning music. So if you really enjoy music class, Mr. Carl Orff definitely played a role in making a music class fun. And not just for kids...for us teachers too. His most famous piece of music is Carmina Burana. Its epic sound is used in many events, commercials, and performances. Make sure to visit the show notes to find an incredible video and performance of Carl Orff’s opening to the awesome piece “Carmina Burana”. Speaking of fun, well, Easter is coming, and what better way to celebrate than with the Easter Bunny Rap. You know how Mr. Carl Orff combined movement and music. Well, in this song, you will get to move along with some body percussion. In the song, you will echo a pattern that is performed, which means the body percussion part will be heard and you have to perform it back. So get your ears ready. And if you want to check out the video that goes along with the Easter Bunny Rap, make sure to check the show notes to watch the video! And now we present; The Easter Bunny Rap! Just Chattin’: Jessica Graham is from Michigan and currently lives in Texas where she teaches middle school music. Prior to her teaching Middle School, she taught elementary General music for 14 years. Jessica is also the host and creator of the podcast Afternoon Ti; a podcast giving music educators ideas and experiences in teaching music. Today we discuss movement activities that can be done at home or in school and can be reached virtually for free. There are many more resources she offered that we did not discuss that can be found in the show notes. We hope you enjoy this interview. Hi Jessica and welcome to the show. Hi Bill thank you for having me. Absolutely and it’s great to have you on the show here. And what I always like to start with is for you to tell us a little bit about your journey with music as a kid. You know you could tell us what you did in school and maybe if you took private lessons or take private lessons, so what kind of things did you experience as a kid? So, my mom was a music teacher so I grew up with music in the house and she accompanied local choirs especially the high school choir. And one of my first musical experiences I would say was learning the songs to Fame the musical because that was the music she was playing on the piano. So at the age of like three or four I would walk around the house singing you know all of the fame songs and yeah I just love that. And so I would go to all of her rehearsals and I would sit and listen to the choirs and watch her play. And I took piano lessons for years and for the most part enjoyed that. It was always hard to practice. I like performing the songs but the practicing got easier as I got older. And then I really loved dance so I took dance for years. Loved Hip Hop and Jazz and ballet and all the things. And in high school and middle school and all through college I enjoyed singing in choir. So I really enjoyed doing a lot with movement and choral singing and playing piano. Yeah that’s awesome, yeah, so, my mom was actually a music teacher as well. Both my parents were music majors and my mom was my teacher for many years. Yeah yeah yeah so I hear you on all the music just always be in there in the house yeah that's super cool. So currently you are a music teacher. So where do you teach and what grades do you teach now? I teach grades 5 through 8 at a school called Good Shepherd Episcopal School in Dallas Texas. And this will be my sixth year teaching there and before that I taught for 14 years in the public school system K through 5. So are you originally from Texas? No, I grew up in Michigan and then went to school in Tennessee and came back to Michigan and I met my husband long distance and it was easier for me to move then for his career to move. So made the way down here and now I’m texan at heart for sure. Yeah that's awesome so you also have a podcast and it's called Afternoon Ti and it's a podcast for music teachers like myself. And so could you tell us a little bit about the show? Sure. So as a music teacher I feel like every music teacher has something to share and something different or a different slant to help other music teachers. And I felt like I was at a point where I had some ideas that I thought might be helpful for other teachers and so I decided to start using the things I had around my house, a microphone and my computer and oftentimes we would go in our master bedroom closet and just recording a very simplistic way. But to give other teachers ideas of what to do with movement or singing or even teacher self-care, how to take care of your teacher-health your voice and different things that you can do not only for your students in the community but as a teacher personally. So I enjoy interviewing people like you do and just learning. I feel like I've learned so much by talking to other music teachers and just sharing what I can in whatever way I can just to hope that it helped somebody else. I love that and yeah I listen to your show and it really does you really do get a lot of ideas you know just from listening and you also get an idea of like oh yeah yeah what I'm doing is working well. Yeah so I thought it's really a great resource and any music teachers listening or even if you are a parent is doing homeschooling checking out the podcast is going to help with some things. So and we're going to talk even more about some cool activities here. but before I get to that I do want to let everyone know that it's afternoon ti TI right? Which is do re me fa so la ti right that note. I love that play on words, it's great. So let’s get to some of these cool movement activities. You know one of the things that were experiencing right now are kids at home and one of the things that I love to do in my music classes to get kids moving right we want kids to move doing it eurhythmics which is basically kids getting up in and moving around to the music, feeling the beat, bouncing balls and doing all of these fun things that kids love to do but are also helping them develop musically. So we thought it’d be neat to discuss some movement activities that we could offer our audience so that kids could do these activities at home. They're all online-based so let’s hear some, you've got some great online resources. What I tried to think of was finding resources that were not only available online but if teachers were using them in the classroom since we're having to keep that 6 foot distance. But we want our kids to still participate in movement and moving their bodies to music so the first one I thought of was GoNoodle. I know a lot of people may know about that one but it's a great one to mention because it can cover such a wide age span. And I feel like it's simple for any teacher really to put it on and the kids know instinctively what to do and copy. So that’s one I want to mention. And then the second one has been a favorite of mine for several years and it's body percussion and it's by a man named Santi Seratosa. And his are more intricate though I have found ways to simplify. You can simply find a pattern you like that he shares and imitate it and do it longer over a period of time rather than going super fast through it. But he does things with chairs or in boxes or layering different ostinato patterns so that then you can allow students to maybe choose one and copy it or you can even use the tutorials that he gives. And I love there's some pop songs he does like Try by Colbie Caillat or something just like this by The Chainsmokers and Coldplay and he'll walk you through all the body percussion. A lot of it sitting in chairs which is also ideal for where we're at right now it's movement but the kids are isolated. But he also has some that have to do with Shostakovich’s Waltz and Vivaldi's Four Seasons. And you can go right through the tutorials and as a teacher I've gone through it and then I made kind of notes about what he's doing and then I find where I need to simplify. But as far as parents being at home they may be cool ones to watch and then create your own if it's too difficult. Or take parts of it so those are two things I would mention that way you have an idea for younger students but you can also push some of your older students or even adults might enjoy it. I like how that website really focuses on not just the classical music right but they want to include pop music as well. So yeah that's a lot of fun, great. Well thank you so much and there's actually a bunch of other parts that you gave me here which is which is awesome. And we're going to include those in the show notes and we’ll also put Afternoon Ti in the show notes. So yeah I thank you so much Jessica for being on the show and sharing your knowledge. I know you have a lot there so it's really just it's great. I love talking to other music teachers and getting ideas and then sharing that so that we can kid’s experiencing music even better so well thank you so much I'll see you. We would like to thank Jessica Grant again for being a part of the show. Jessica gave a bunch of great resources on top of what was discussed in the show which are found in the show notes.

It seems everyone from businesses to politicians and sports teams is grappling with their responses to the current social moment... can we trust their answers? Are these responses anything more than marketing tactics that seem supportive while in reality are only designed not to upset the status quo? Or is the opposite true that newly “woke” marketers and athletes are trying to dictate a new reality to the rest of us? What are the right forums for athletes to support social justice? Is there fatigue starting to set in? Or a need to have political free forums designed only for entertainment? This Episode is brought to you by our friends at GoNoodle...

Welcome back to the Not So Wimpy Teacher podcast! In this episode, I'm chatting with long-time teacher and author, Elizabeth Peterson, about how valuable the Arts are to students and how to integrate them into your classroom in simple ways. In her 20 years of teaching, Elizabeth has been a huge proponent of using the Arts to help students with social and emotional learning. Episode 69 Takeaways: + You don't have to be a musician or an artist to integrate the arts into your classroom in a helpful way + Teaching kids active listening is all about being active with your ears and brain, not just active with your body + Have "Listen Alouds" where you play a piece of music during snack time and let your students identify sounds, emotions, themes, etc. + Take "Brain Breaks" with your class and have them stand up, stretch or even dance to get their whole body moving + Try "Friendly Friday" and let your students use their creativity to make an encouraging card or note for another classmate + Consistency with these small additions is key The good news is you can even implement these ideas in a virtual classroom! Do your movement break on a zoom call by sharing your screen with the class and playing a Go Noodle or YouTube video for them to dance to. Do your listen aloud in your virtual classroom. Have kids write encouragements to each other on a google comment thread. The more your students see YOU expressing creativity with confidence, the more they will feel comfortable themselves. Integrating the Arts into your classroom can have a powerful effect on your students, helping them process and express their emotions in a productive way. You can find Elizabeth and grab your free resource at theinspiredclassroom.com/notsowimpy! Want more Not So Wimpy Teacher tips and tricks?

In this episode of The Imagine Neighborhood, we’re wrapping up our first season by talking about all the skills we’ve practiced and discussed over the last few weeks. Scotty and Count Vacula are going to need their wits about them when they encounter Tantrumus Maximus, an evil hamster who’s determined to cause as many tantrums as possible. Even though he throws every possible frustration, disappointment, and confusion their way, Scotty and Vac’s problem-solving skills prevail! In this episode, we’re reviewing many problem-solving skills: calming down and saying the problem, making amends, if–then plans, and perspective-taking. When kids find themselves feeling frustrated, needing help in a conflict, or not sure what to do with big, overwhelming feelings, it’s important for them to be able to find a solution in the moment.

Topic - Move and learn Kids have gotta move to learn. Movement stimulates all the nerve cells that we think with and primes those cells to do stuff by turning on the attention systems. Movement causes the front of your brain to turn on allowing you to manipulate information. You'll also be able to manage frustration and stick with learning longer. Kids who move learn better and behave better in the classroom. For third and fourth graders who have a lot of disagreements and injuries at recess, scheduled movement breaks reduce those problems dramatically. Eighty percent of elementary schools in the US are using free 2-minutes videos from the GoNoodle company to provide entertaining content to kids to help them move around and then, get back to their schoolwork. Movement improves learning in kids and productivity in adults. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/drclaudia/message
Summary Brian Mayer continues to discuss this prolonged period of what is called social distancing during the current pandemic we are all facing. Kids have an especially difficult time with this mostly because it is hard for the younger ones to understand and the older ones are just really so used to be so social. Today we will talk about some creative ideas for kids to be able connect while being physically distant. We hope you enjoy today's message. For more information and additional resources please visit our website at http://www.theremarriedlife.com Today's Goodies The need to be socially distant from others during the current pandemic is tough enough for adults, but what about the kids. Kids can have such a difficult time because (unless they are homeschooled) are used to being around lots of other kids and people. This difficulty in our kids having trouble with social distancing can be very burdensome on us as adults especially in a blended family. Because relationships are often strained in a blended family and now we are spending lots more time together that it can cause an even greater strain. However, I have heard lots of stories to the contrary where families are coming closer together by doing some really creative things at this time. We are going to talk about some creative ideas that your kids can do during this time to help them with the whole social distancing issue. Some ideas they can mostly do on their own and others could be done together. For the younger kids, a website called Go Noodle has all sorts of videos to help with movement and mindfulness. This could be a good site to start the day where kids get off to a fresh start by moving and or doing some meditation. Use Zoom which is a videoconferencing website where kids can connect with other kids. This might be a good opportunity for teens to stay connected with each other. Of course you may need to set up some ground rules for communication and whether or not you want to be able to see and hear what is going on in real time. There is also a record feature that you could let your child know could be used to go back and look through the video if need be. Working with the other parents on how best to approach this would also be a good idea. Sidewalk Chalk Obstacle Course. I actually saw this one day while I was on a run. The neat thing is that the kids wrote in chalk that this could be used by anyone who wanted to have fun. Obviously this one might be a bit difficult to maintain distance if lots of kids want to do this at once. Use Recycled Items to Create Something Fun. This one might best for the younger kids, but teens could enjoy it as well. For the young ones, creating a robot out of used milk jugs or maybe teens can create some kind of electronic device from old electronic parts and wires you might have around. Cook Together Especially To Help Someone Else. Getting the kids more involved in cooking can always be fun. What would make it even more fun and important would be to cook for a neighbor or a friend in need. I have seen lots of people doing this for other and leaving the food in the garage or on the porch. Neighborhood Scavenger Hunt. You could make a game out of finding things in the neighborhood. For example, the kids might have to collect 3 different types of leaves, or find a white wild flower (teach them the difference between wild flowers and those that people have planted before they go pulling!) Make a Movie. Have the kids develop a plot, write a script, choose the actors, and film using a smart phone. There is lots of great movie editing software to choose from to help put it all together. Online Books Including Audio. A great website called Get Epic has lots of great kids books to choose from whether they read or listen to the audio. There is a free trial available and then after that there is a cost. The one comes highly recommended from my wife, the teacher! We hope that this episode has your creative juices flowing to help come up with some not so common ideas to the potential boredom that is possibly setting in for your blended family.

In this, our third Corona BONUS episode looking at Anxiety within the context of the current Corona pandemic, Dale Pickles, Managing Director of B Squared is joined by his guest Sarah-Jane Critchley. Anxiety is a big topic normally, but right now with all the changes that have happened over the last few weeks to our every day lives, it is huge. In this episode we start with the question ‘What is anxiety?', this isn't a simple question as everyone feels anxious, it is how much it impacts on your life. Jane provides us with a great way to rate your anxiety and ways to help manage or reduce your anxiety. Our conversation then moved on to what can be done now, what can be done at home and the importance of exercise. Some of the strategies discussed include: Exercise/activity – Joe Wicks, Gonoodle, Yoga for Kids, kitchen boogie Structuring the 4 R's (Routine, Rhythm, Rest and Recovery) Meditation – Smiling mind, Headspace Breathing Know your sensory profile Self- Care sensory Shoebox Anxiety sucks – and blows! Dress for happy (and silly) Find the funny (and share it) Stimdancing At the end of the podcast we also discussed the difficulty some children will face transitioning back to school when school starts again. We discussed how schools can support transitions to new schools, when the normal transition process cannot be followed.

Episode 80 is another solo episode, sans guest, and the final half of my thoughts on the place we all find ourselves in currently: in the middle of this global pandemic of Covid-19 or the Corona Virus. I recorded this episode on Friday, April 3, 2020. I'm typing this on Sunday, April 5, and the current statistics are 1,266,614 cases, 69,169 deaths and 260,967 recoveries worldwide this afternoon. That means there were more than 200,000 new cases, 11,000 new deaths and 33,000 new recoveries over this weekend.In the first half of this, from last week, I spent a lot of time talking about my feelings regarding our responsibilities, not only for a lot of us as parents but for all of us as humans and mostly... as adults.With this episode, I still have an undercurrent of that just beneath the surface, but a lot of this episode is spent giving you more tangible and practical takeaways to your new everyday lives right now. Whatever that may be: I think nearly all of us are living in some form of a "new normal". One of the positives that I hope comes out of this pandemic is our newfound understanding and respect for people in many different professions. The low-hanging fruit is, of course, people on the front lines in the healthcare industry. Doctors, nurses... all of them. The risk they are putting themselves in right now is, at times, baffling how they can do it, day after day. Some of the other people I have really felt a need to recognize: people working at restaurants, people at grocery stores. Let's also talk about teachers. Come on. If you haven't raised a glass to the people who are teaching all of our kids at school over the course of a school year, please do so now. It's imperative that we do our best to consider how this all affects our children. Think about how upside-down their worlds have become. They have lost touch significantly (in some cases, they may have lost touch altogether) with their classmates. How many of you had one or more favorite teachers? Remember how great it was to see them every weekday and be in their class? Think about that giant hole in their lives now. With that loss of the normal school day, also comes the loss of what that schedule brings to them in regards to their health. They no longer have whatever spacing out of their food intake, which also may have included your input if you were packing lunches for those younger kids. So, how much and how often are they eating now? And what, exactly, are they eating... that maybe wasn't in their day-to-day previously? WHO and the CDC both recommend that children should perform at least 60 minutes' worth of moderate to vigorous levels of physical activity on a daily basis. Are you keeping that up for your kids right now? There are so many ways to accomplish this, even during whatever your community's current level of quarantine or shelter-in-place may be. There's a website and an app called Go Noodle that is a free resource for kids to visit to be active and stay healthy. My kids love using that site, actually and I've done a few of the dances with them, too. Cosmic Kids is another great place, that even has yoga for kids. You may not even know that the YMCA has something called YMCA360 (that they recently made free for people) that you can access for all of this, as well. It can be as simple, even, as looking things up on Youtube for your kids to do some activities at home. Stress eating is not just an adult deal, everyone. So, remember that your kids may be picking up on your stress or even have their own about this crazy time right now. So, it's important and not at all mean of you to keep track of what your kids are eating throughout the day. It's important that we don't just let everything go by the wayside just because of the state of the world right now. I'm tempted to say: if you want to, yourselves, that is fine......

Everything is going to be ok… I feel like all of us need to hear this on repeat right now. Everything is going to be ok. We are in this together, and we will get through it together. I have taken about a week, a week of sitting around shell shocked and reeling at the speed at which everything is changing. A week of feeling panicked, of trying to adjust to this new normal. A week of supporting my kids and helping THEM adjust to this new way of living – apart from their friends, on a completely different schedule and at a new pace. I'm hoping that all of you gave yourself that time as well and I'm also hoping that like me you are starting to spring back to life, to plan and strategize how you can best get through this. I am pushing pause on what I had originally planned for the next couple of episodes because with everything that is happening in the world right now there are a couple of things I want to get out there to help people weather this. Today's episode being – how to work at home because with businesses shutting down (businesses… the world), everyone being sent home to work, kids off school and everything else that is happening there are a LOT of people who are suddenly finding themselves trying to figure out how to accomplish much of anything while working at home with their partner, their kids, their pets, the temptation to multitask and do laundry at the same time – all of it. So for a lot of people, this working from home things is pretty new. Potentially they have never done it before and honestly while it sounds simple there are a lot of things that can throw a wrench in your productivity. Way more distractions, way more flexibility and way less accountability. I am a work from home pro. I have been doing it for years and years – both with kids and daycare, and without. In the first years of my son's life, when it was just he and I there was a LOT of time spent simultaneously working and taking care of a baby – its not easy but it can be done. In more recent years there have been times when the kids are home sick and I need to juggle work and taking care of them – again not easy, but I will say its definitely easier as the kids get older. If you have babies or toddlers home right now and are trying to work – my heart goes out to you because I get just how challenging that is – but don't give up, you can do this! First tip – create structure for yourself and for the kids. We all do better when we have some form of structure. Stick to getting up and going to bed at the same times each day. Hold onto your morning routine of getting ready for the day (if you have one, I personally tend to live in pajamas but its been YEARS since I worked a regular 9-5 type job, so that IS my normal). Schedule meals, at least loosely. Schedule breaks as well as your start and finish times. Make sure as well that if you do have kids at home and you are juggling being a Mom and working at the same time that you are scheduling things for the kids. Left to their own devices they WILL drive you crazy and interrupt every single task that you try to complete for the day. It's not an if, it's a matter of when. So give them something to do because the 5 – 10 minutes you spend setting them up on an activity is going to buy you a lot of time and save you a lot of headache and frustration through out the day. If at all possible – preplan the activities for the day. The internet is absolutely FULL of great activities for kids of all ages right now. Jump on Pinterest, ask friends for ideas, google “what to do with my kids in quarantine” and I promise you are going to get hundreds of ideas. Get yourself set up the night before and then when the kids wake up give them a general outline of what to expect. Knowing what their day will look like gives them a sense of security and reduces their anxiety as well. Tell them what activities are planned, what meals will look like and when you plan to serve snacks. Start to create a new routine that they can count on each day for stability. Hilariously, I had initially planned on doing an episode on screen time and the effects it has on our kids. We had cut screens in our house last fall and the results were so dramatic that I actually got a phone call from one of our kid's teachers asking if we had started ADHD meds because the behavior had changed so drastically in such a short span. I wanted to come on and share the statistics and the studies and encourage everyone to cut down on their kids screen time – but guess what? Not today Karen… Today, I am going to tell you that sometimes we are going to need to rely on screens to get through. My kids are all playing video games right now because it was literally the only thing that I could think of to keep them quiet while I recorded this. Not only that but when something is REALLY important, I will even bribe them with a fun activity for after as long as they stay quiet and let me get through what I need to get done. It is what it is guys.. Make it educational where you can – there are tons of great programs and apps – prodigy for math, Teach your monster to read for little kids who are starting their reading or early literacy skills, TVO has games and educational shows, Outschool is a website that offers amazing online classes – again, do a quick google search and you will get a tons of results. So sure, we are going to temper it with other activities – crafts, games, fort building, outdoor time (with proper physical distancing of course) but I don't think anyone is judging right now – just get through the best that you can. Remember to give you kids physical outlets too so that they can expend some energy. This is going to mean happier more compliant kids who sleep better at night. Even if that means using an app or game like Go Noodle or Just Dance to get them moving. (Ideally though block some time each day to get them outside in the yard, on their bikes or for a hike in the woods – it will be good for you too) I'm going to get back to my tips for being productive while working at home in a second, but I want to take a moment to remind you all about Audible. They are the sponsor for today's show and if you haven't been listening to audio books already then you are definitely going to want to start! Audio books are the perfect way to take your mind off the chaos in the world. I listen all the time – flipping between business and self development to fiction and fantasy depending on my mood and what I need more that day. Bonus – they have a ton of titles for kids to keep them engaged while you work! Check them out at www.audibletrial.com/updraft and you can score a 30 day trial and your first book for free! Despite all of this you are probably going to be interrupted. That is the nature of working from home with children. Try to be aware of this going into the day so that you will feel less frustration when it happens. Remember that their world has been flipped upside down too and they are craving extra attention and reassurance. Another option if you have a flexible work schedule is to work when the kids sleep. When my son was little this is how my life looked. Sometimes I would give him some pipe cleaners and colander and let him feed them through, or give him some new toys to play with, pom poms and a jar and have him pick them up and fill the jar with tongs – sometimes that worked when I had a TON of stuff to get done – but mostly I found I was far more productive if I spent the better part of the day being a Mom and then worked during his nap and at night when he slept. Yes – this means not having much free time. Yes this means not catching up on your favourite shows or movies, and not being able to get much done around the house – but it made me far more efficient in my working hours because I was distraction free. Also – no one works faster and more efficiently than a parent who knows their baby could wake up from their nap at any second. One other suggestion around this is that it generally far easier to get house work done while the kids are awake than it is to get work done. Housework can be done in a distracted state – it generally doesn't take much concentrated thought to sort or fold laundry and you can pick it up and put it down pretty easily without having to worry about losing your place or train of thought. Depending on the age of your kids you can also involve them. Teach them to fold laundry, dry dishes, put away cutlery. Teach them to sweep alongside you, to prepare and chop veggies and to clean a toilet. Involve them, let them participate and you will get way more done – plus they will be learning some life skills and gaining a sense of value and importance along the way. Kids thrive when they are able to contribute! If you have a baby pull out your carrier or learn to wrap – baby wearing will save your life right now! Wherever possible – save the work for when the kids are sleeping and spend their waking hours doing housework, taking walks and spending quality time. I read something recently that basically said, and I'm completely paraphrasing here, that when parents ask their kids 20 years from now what they remember about the pandemic of 2020 the kids will respond that they remember spending time as a family, doing crafts, baking and having their parents home. That they will look back on it as some of their fondest memories. How beautiful would that be? How can we use that to shift our perspective around this entire thing? Yes we need to work, and we need to generate an income, and I have another episode coming for those who like me, are going to have to get super creative in order to do that in the coming weeks and months – but we also have an opportunity to see our kids, to know them on a different level while we are all home together. Whether you are saving your work for when the kids are in bed, working while they are awake and doing their own activities or a combination of both it is going to essential that you plan out your time to increase your productivity. In episode ?? I talked about this – basically you will use as much time as you give yourself to complete any one activity. If you give yourself an hour it will take an hour, if you give yourself 3 you will use 3. Don't allow yourself unlimited time to complete your work – set deadlines and do everything you can to stick to them. You will blow your own mind with how much you can get done within a really short window when you are completely and totally focused in and not trying to multitask. Turn off your phone, or put it on do not disturb so that only the people who you really need to hear from can reach you. Quiet the room, close any other tabs on your computer and focus only on the work that you need to get done. Don't be tempted to multitask and flip loads of laundry (that's a total pro move – not for beginners guys!) in between. When you are working - WORK. Get it done as quickly and efficiently as you can because you never know when your kid is going to fall and scrape their knee, decide that they absolutely NEED to tell you what just happened to the bird in the yard or have decided that they absolutely cannot make it to the next schedule snack and need one RIGHT NOW. If your spouse is home set ground rules about how it will all look. Who is working in what space. Who is dealing with the children during which hours, and who can ignore any bickering and fighting because they know it is the other person's turn to deal with it. There is a meme going around saying that people who are now sharing a work space are making up an imaginary co worker to blame everything on so they don't start to hate each other – genius! No longer your husband's fault that there are too many mugs in the sink – blame Susan instead. This period of time is about surviving so that when it is done you can go right back to thriving. And speaking of who is working in what space? Have a specific space that is dedicated to working. Convert a closet if you have to – but give yourself and area where you go to work, and only to work. It helps create some sense of separation which is very much needed because as those of us who work from home already know – it is very easy to fall into the habit of working all the time. There needs to be separation – you need breaks and to be able to leave your work space when you are not working and you need a quiet dedicated area when you are. Lastly – try to look for the positives and as always try to look for the things in your life that you can be grateful for. Yes this period is hard, there are some awful things happening in the world – but there are still positives if you look for them, there is still so much beauty and my gosh there are so many amazing stories of selflessness and humanity coming out. Look for those. Don't focus on the negatives and the things you can't control. Don't worry about what other businesses are doing, what your coworkers or your competition is doing – focus on yourself, your family and your business and know that it is going to be ok. It might look different – but it will be ok. Sending you all love right now, stay safe, stay healthy and I will see you next week.

From where do contemporary, resilient changes begin - from a top-down mandate, or from a bottom-up, tech-driven evolution? Today’s guest, Matt Greenfield, is an investor in entrepreneurial companies that drive transformative social outcomes through the power of using technology in education. He sifts through fascinating trends and prophetic scenarios as we discuss everything from the Common Core to cloud-based platforms, bullying to virtual reality, and pedagogy to washing machines. If you are curious about how technology will continue to impact education, have a listen to the man who searches the horizon for innovation so that he can invest in change for the educational ecosystem.Quotes:12:39 “There is a whole range of needs that children have that have to be addressed one way or another if they are to have even the slightest chance of getting a decent education and carving out a place for themselves in the workforce of the 21st-century.”28:28 “Unlocking the passions and the creativity of the students is the key; the first thing you have to do is to ask them what they are passionately interested in or curious about. Everything has to start with that.”Here are some resources mentioned in our discussion:Rethink - https://rethink.vc/NoRedInk - https://www.noredink.com/Bright Hive - https://brighthive.io/Burning Glass Technologies - https://www.burning-glass.com/Outschool - https://outschool.com/Keith Rabois - https://podcastnotes.org/2019/03/05/rabois-5/GoNoodle - https://www.gonoodle.com/Most Likely to Succeed - https://teddintersmith.com/mltsfilm/Naviance - https://www.naviance.com/services/professional-developmentWhere to learn more about the guest:Matt at Rethink - https://rethink.vc/people/matt-greenfield/Matt on Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattgreenfieldMatt on Linkedin - linkedin.com/in/matt-greenfield-07b96815Matt at EdSurge - https://www.edsurge.com/writers/matt-greenfieldWhere to learn more about Enrollhand:Website: www.enrollhand.comOur training on how to grow your school: https://webinar-replay.enrollhand.comOur free Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/schoolgrowth/You can always reach out by emailing hello@enrollhand.com
