Podcast appearances and mentions of hal bowman

We interview Hal Bowman, a social influencer and the author of Teach Like a Rockstar. He will speak at the Chattanooga National Forum to Advance Rural Education (NFARE) conference. In this episode, we discuss how teachers should take the perspective of a parent or grandparent in the education kids receive. Kids have access to knowledge of the internet in their pockets. Still, teachers serve an important role in navigating the information that may or may not be pertinent to the topic domains or in understanding the accuracy of the information content on the internet. Hal's work addresses school culture and its importance in creating the most effective environment for student success and teacher retention. We discuss the importance of training for teachers and how longevity is no longer an option for training teachers. We discuss how teaching is an Emotionally challenging career. It appears that six years is the window for teachers to stay. The cohosts note that many of us are called to our careers, and the attrition rate is a problem for rural educators. We discuss the importance of loving the teaching process, not just the students. Teachers should be aware of the responsibilities of the job. We discussed the importance of having a high energy level when teaching. Hal shares that he attempts to model this high energy level. Hal says we must be emotionally invested in our teaching and curriculum to engage students in the course content. Hal shares that many incoming teachers are similar to those students, particularly with issues like block scheduling. We talked about the recruitment of teachers in rural schools. We note the challenges of finding housing, regional development, broadband, and commuting as challenges we must address. We note there are many benefits to teaching in rural environments. Hal talks about the importance of work in rural schools. This is a great episode. For more information, go to the following website. https://halbowman.com/

This episode is inspired by a chapter in Dear Teachers, written by Dr. Brad Johnson and Hal Bowman, that was title "Why Would a Kid Want to be Successful if He Doesn't Remember What Success Feels Like?". As we are deep into the midpoint of the school year it is important that we ask ourselves if all of our students have felt success lately. Do they remember what success feels like? 

Hello everyone! Between the constant attacks on education, toxic echo chambers on the internet, and the quiet majority, many people believe that schools are doing very little good. Of course, we know this isn't true. We see the greatness happening everyday in the halls, our classrooms, and around school grounds. Yet we have struggled to share the good news about education in many places. We have let the loud and negative minority win the discussion about what schools are and what they are accomplishing. This, in turn, has made many move away from their purpose. Their why for being in the classroom. In this episode, we are hoping to shift the focus back to what truly matters... THE KIDS.  Hal Bowman, speaker, podcaster, and author of the latest book Dear Teacher, is back for part two to talk about the power of educators and why we should move forward with a reinvigorated focus on our purpose for being teachers.     This episode is sponsored by Heinemann—the leading publisher of professional books and resources for educators—and their new book, The Joy of Reading by Donalyn Miller and Teri Lesesne. What reading experiences have entertained you, provoked you, taught you, inspired you, helped you to see your own life more clearly, or connected you with others?  As teachers, librarians, school administrators, and caregivers who love reading, we know what it feels like to fall into a book and let the world fall away. We have joyous reading memories, and we know how reading can sustain and inspire us. Now consider: When talking with children about their reading lives at school, are you likely to hear about this transformative reading joy? Or are you more likely to hear about reading logs, book reports, and standardized tests? For too many young readers, reading is joyless. It is something that is required of them, but not something that they choose to do. Here's the truth: It is possible to teach children how to read well without killing their love for reading in the process. The Joy of Reading is a guide for teachers, librarians, administrators, and families to create the conditions for joyful reading. Donalyn Miller and Teri Lesesne draw from their decades of work with students, teachers, and librarians, providing practices that nurture joy while identifying factors that destroy joy, all with a clear understanding of the realities of today's classrooms and libraries. There's more to life than school and work. There's more to reading than school-based value systems for it. We can aim higher than short-sighted measurements and, instead, become reading encouragers, supporters, and role models for lifelong, joyful reading.

It doesn't feel like it, but it has been roughly 4 years since Hal Bowman came on the show last.

Here is the second half of our interview with Hal Bowman (halbowman.com) and in this part of the conversation we talked about how teachers are losing the perception war. We were talking about how it seems that we are not just losing teachers who are new to the profession, but the rockstar teachers who have the valuable experience. The subject shifted to how we can recruit better people to the profession which was what pushed us into a conversation about why people would want to be a part of a profession so that so much of society seems to have disdain for. We asked ourselves how can we make positivity louder in teaching and let everyone know that those viral videos you see on social media are happening every minute of everyday in classrooms around the country. Teachers who genuinely love kids and teaching are the rule, not the exception.

We had the chance to catch up with our guy Hal Bowman (https://halbowman.com/) for the podcast to talk about what it has been like over the last few years as a professional development facilitator and what he is seeing from the teachers he works with. In part 1 of our conversation Hal talks about how this profession is simply, but not easy. We talked about how people outside of the classroom could never understand what it actually takes to be a teacher. We asked the question who do we need to become as educators now that our students can get everything we would teach them through the internet.

The field of education is not easy. When you are serving others and you're pouring your heart and soul into all you do it can be physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausting. That is why you need to give yourself little reminders on why being in this field means so much to you as well as reminders on different strategies that you can use to help keep a healthy emotional and mental state of mind. This episode dives into small reminders given by Dr. Brad Johnson and Hal Bowman in their book Dear Teachers: 100 Days of Inspirational Quotes and Anecdotes. Check out some tips by these amazing educational thought leaders. 

Sweet teacher, today's episode is very special. I was able to contribute to Hal Bowman's Dear Teacher project, and I'm going to read you my letter to primary teachers.Not gonna lie, I get a little emotional. So please look over that, but just know it's because primary teachers mean so much to me.If you need a teacher pick-me-up to get ready for this coming school year, I hope this works.If you don't need it right now, come back to it when you're feeling a little overworked and a little underappreciated. I can help with the second part!Links mentioned in today's episode:Today's blog post

Tricia Kiah, teacher and creator of Blackboard Brave, is inspiring educators and teens to have authentic BOLD conversations that shift attitudes,and transform school climate in a safe space. During her first few years of teaching, she realized pretty quickly that students could not focus in the classroom if they were worried, angry, anxious, depressed, sad, or frustrated. An emotionally charged teen needs an outlet to express these emotions in order to prepare the mind, body, and spirit to learn effectively. What could be done? She was a teacher? How could she possibly support wounded teens and frustrated teachers at the same time? She needed to be BRAVE. All healing and awareness within the classroom begins with a simple question: "Where are you today?" In this brave conversation, students and teachers are tapping into the present moment. They become aware of the distracting thoughts, feelings and emotions. It allows them to uncover hidden judgments and negativity that they may unconsciously bring into the classroom. It helps students and teachers laser in on the distractions, in order to ZAP them out of their present in order to create space for more positive and powerful energy to grow. Tricia has been standing at the blackboard for 21 years having BOLD authentic conversations in her safe space classroom. She has a host of conversation starters as well as self-care ideas to help both students and educators thrive in today's hectic climate. Are you ready to be brave? Tricia Kiah nests in a small rural town in Central New York with her flock of 4 and husband, Coard. Her children ages 22, 21, 20 & 18, continue to inspire her content and push her to be bold and brave

Mike Arone is the owner of Boston Scally Company. Mike grew up the youngest of three brothers in small home six miles west of Boston in the City of Waltham. Growing up in a blue collar home under close quarters, Mike and his brothers learned the importance of loyalty, tradition and culture. Mike's father always wore, what Bostonians call, a scally cap on his head. Some call this a flat cap, ivy cap, or a newsboy cap. This type of headwear was more than just a piece of wool to cover your head, it was something that defined the tough, rugged and sarcastic culture of Bostonians. For years, Mike would steal his father's caps and wear them. Many years later, in 2012, he decided to start a company that gave Bostonians (and those alike) their very own piece of Boston culture.Visit Mike Online: Website | bostonscally.comEmail | mike@bostonscally.comJoin Mike on Social Media:Facebook |  @BostonScallyCompanyInstagram | @bostonscallyTwitter | @bostonscally

Welcome back to school and back to hanging out with us...From Bell to Bell!  The summer hiatus has been way too long, and we are pumped to be getting back to talking with you guys. In particular, we are excited to bring you the first three episodes of this new season which have been saved to ensure a powerful kick-off.  Today, we welcome Hal Bowman, veteran teacher who now runs Teach Like a Rockstar, a program that brings him to individual schools and sold-out crowds where he energizes teachers and administrators around his mantra, "Every school can be a phenomenal school."  Hal chose the mockumentary, Chalk, for our discussion, and listening to this episode will find you hearing all three of us cringe in horror as we realize how awful the profession of teaching looks to those on the outside, and how awful it can actually be. It's incredible, and something has to be done about it!
