Phil Boyte and Dr. John Eick, Executive Director at Westlake Charter School, share ideas on how to celebrate staff, create opportunities to share stories, and build a school culture prepared for disruptive change. Don't miss Dr. Eick's relationship building activity everyone can do with a photo on their cell phone.
Heading to work on day 1 to launch the 2022-2023 school year...this is going to be epic!
In this episode, the amazing Dr. Galloway interviews me, Dr. John Eick, about my edu-origin story, how I came to be in the Sacramento State Doctoral program, about my dissertation and what comes next. It has been an honor to interview each of the graduates of Cohort 12 and it is an honor to have had the opportunity to share my story. Catch this episode, and the entire series at csuscohort12.com.
Back as a guest on the podcast for the fourth time, John is a passionate educator doing amazing things as the Executive Director of Westlake Charter School in Sacramento, California. He is also the host of the incredible Learn With John Eick Podcast, one you definitely want to check out. In this episode, John and Brent take inspiration from Star Trek’s Captain Kirk and discuss how we can rewrite the unwritten rules of education to make students and adults more successful. Bottom line -- just because it’s always been a certain way doesn’t mean it has to continue being that way.

Bombad is more than a childish phrase. It is an apt description of the capability of Gungan weaponry. Every single weapon incorporates explosive plasma in ways no other culture has been able to replicate.

Liliana, Maklaw and the escaped slaves have taken control of the slaver ship “Carion.” But there is still much to be done. The surviving Trandoshan slavers have regrouped in preparation for an assault on the recently secured control room. While our heroes could vent the ships atmosphere into space to kill the slavers, doing so would also kill several slaves still imprisoned. Our heroes have chosen the more daunting task of finishing the Transoshans off in person. Though it is a difficult path for most, for Maklaw the Wookie, it is just another enjoyable hunt...
