You pour your heart and soul into your classrooms, but what happens when a migraine threatens to sideline your passion and impact?  We get it. The juggling act of lesson plans and throbbing head pain is a unique challenge many of you face. This week on the podcast, we're diving deep into the real struggles of navigating the teaching profession with chronic migraines. We're not just talking tips! We're sharing a relatable story from a fellow educator, Kimberly, a special education teacher who knows firsthand the battle of surviving the school year with daily pain. In this episode, Kimberly shares her journey from feeling like she was just surviving each day to finding genuine relief and renewed passion for her career. She's opening up about the challenges, the frustrations, and most importantly, the turning point that helped her break free from the grip of debilitating migraines. If you've ever had to push through a lesson with a pounding head, felt the guilt of taking a sick day due to migraine, or wondered if true relief was even possible while balancing the demands of teaching, THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU. In this episode, you'll hear: The common and ineffective advice Kimberly received for migraine management before joining the Migraine Freedom™  program – you'll probably relate to this, too. How Kimberly went from suffering 24/7 to having 1-2 monthly minor pain days – and is now free from medication! How her career in teaching almost (literally) killed her, but she used her stubbornness to persevere.  How to move through your resistance/objections about getting support to finally find REAL, life-long relief.  Resources: Get powerful strategies and lifelong migraine relief in just 90 minutes. Join me on May 7th for my brand-new masterclass, Breaking the Pain Cycle: A 30-Day Guide to Migraine Relief Without Relying on Pills or Quick Fixes to Get You Through the Workday.    Join the Free Women's Migraine Freedom™ Group, and be sure to share your Diamond Tip experiences with us!

Dr. Marc Isseks, author of Captivate: Engaging and Empowering Students in a World of Digital Distractions, talks bluntly about cell phone policies and his opinion that attempting to ban cell phones is pointless. He also discusses the ways that you can engage students who have a short attention span (sometimes it feels like zero, but there are a few seconds -- 3 seconds. Some would say that is zero!) His thoughts on starting class are important ones to discuss. Whether it is pop culture, or other tips he offers, we can engage students in learning from the moment they walk in the door.

If you're teaching Long Way Down (and ready for some Long Way Down lesson plan ideas!), let me just start by saying “YAY!” It's a reader-maker, an incredible book you can teach in a short time with a high impact. Today, I'm going to be sharing some of my favorite ideas and resources for you to pair with this book. We'll talk about discussion formats, project ideas, Jason Reynolds-themed multimedia waiting around the web, and a creative writing pairing that I think you're going to love too. Heads up, as I'm sure you're aware, this book does have some language. You may need to give a heads up to parents, depending on your school community. But you can, at the same time, mention the Walter Award, Coretta Scott King Award, Printz Award, Newberry Honor Book Award, etc. Maybe throw in the fact that the Library of Congress named him the national ambassador for Young People's Literature.  Here's a quick peek at the visuals available in the FULL BLOG POST: https://nowsparkcreativity.com/2025/04/long-way-down-lesson-ideas.html.  Discussion Option: Hexagonal Thinking Discussion Option: Silent Discussion on the Walls Activity Option: Flash Verse Creative Writing Activity Option: The Open Mind for Character Analysis Links to Explore: One example of conversations happening in Creative High School English about Long Way Down in our Book Brackets Dear, Dreamer documentary about Jason Reynolds Long Way Down graphic novel opening There was a Party for Langston read aloud Ain't Burned all the Bright trailer Jason Reynolds on working with artist Danica Novgorodoff Long Way Down Curriculum 

History is interesting because it is usually written from the point of view from the victor.Have you ever looked at the other side?It really helps you to see the full story when you can do that. It also teaches your kids critical thinking skills because now they can look at both sides and form their own opinions.In today's podcast episode, I talk about looking at both sides of history and I go over the lesson plans for next month.

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! I love following themes on the podcast, and for the month of March, I'm taking you through my lesson plans STEP by STEP! Having a structured plan leads to less stress, less last-minute scrambling, and more time focusing on students. While every counselor's approach will be unique, I've found that creating a curriculum map for the entire year and breaking down my monthly plans by tier has been incredibly helpful. These lesson plans are based on trends I've noticed and what typically works during this time of year, but of course, your plans will shift depending on your students' needs. My goal is to give you ideas and inspiration for your own program! Grab my FREE curriculum map & plans in the resource section below to help you plan the remainder of this year! Want ready-to-go lesson plans each month? Check out my IMPACT membership—members get instant access to all my resources and step-by-step lesson plans. Learn more in the links below! Tier 1 Lesson Plan for March: Self-Regulation The second semester is a great time to revisit emotional recognition and self-regulation strategies. One of my favorite ways to teach this is using "temperatures" to help students gauge their emotions. Lesson Breakdown: Icebreaker: Introduce the concept using a "temperature check" (cool = calm and ready to learn, hot = angry, overwhelmed, or high-energy). Have students act out different temperatures/zones to engage them physically and set the tone for the lesson. Discussion Activity: Conduct a gallery walk with images of kids in different emotional states. Students move around the room and identify which emotions/temperatures each image represents. Main Activity: Introduce coping strategies and split students into small groups. Each group learns about a different self-regulation strategy (deep breathing, talking it out, etc.) and teaches it to the class.  Reflection: Wrap up with a self-reflection journal prompt to help students process what they learned. I hope this helps you plan your March lessons with confidence! Stay tuned as I continue breaking down my step-by-step lesson plans this month.

I think that there are more ways to run it. The general public has an easier way to access it. And they are simpler as Justin said that they are becoming easier and more efficient and better to use for the average user. So I know that I talked to many people that I work with now and just in general and people that are not in tech, which I feel like a year ago.” Jonathan There will be mass layoffs in tech directly attributed to AI in Q1 2024 (10k or more) Someone will start a cult that follows an AI LLM God believing in sentience, a higher power.  AI will find a new home in education. Lesson Plans, Personalized Learning plans by students, etc.  02:07 Jonathan – “Well, there is a religion called the First Church of Artificial Intelligence, but it’s been around for longer than this year. I think it’s like five, six years old at this point. So that’s kind of cheating. Ryan Start seeing the financial impact of AI to better profitability by using AI.

I hope to see this get even stronger and more obvious just because I think that, you know, the days of searching through thousands of documents or the one, you know, unmaintained team page that someone built three years ago when they were new are over.

I don’t know. they’re innovating pretty quickly.

One of the things I love to do is help make life easy for you which is why I have created some pretty amazing Christmas lesson plans!! These lessons are designed to keep your life simple while still giving your child a great education.   Lesson plans include- read aloud, memorization, arts, book of poems, science, history, and writing. Make sure to check out today's episode about keeping it simple and to hear more about my Christmas lesson plans.

Many people treat social skills groups as if they're the complete package, when in fact they're just one part of a bigger service plan. When we “lesson plan” we can't think of our intervention as something that starts and ends with a 20-minute therapy session. Instead, we should think of it as a “planning” or a “priming” session. That's why one of the very first things I teach clinicians in the School of Clinical Leadership is how to utilize multiple service delivery models when supporting executive functioning because social skills should fall under this umbrella.  In this episode, I wanted to share two sneak peaks from the program. I'll share the audio from two video clips from the School of Clinical Leadership that will set the stage for effective social skills intervention.You'll learn:✅How to use social skill-building sessions in a way that builds resilience, situational awareness, and considers a student's neurodevelopmental differences. ✅Why many premade social narratives don't result in good generalization, and how to be a good consumer of commercially available products. ✅The three components of effective social skills intervention and where the “social skills group” fits. ✅The components of good social narratives, and how to create them “on the fly”. *In the video modeling tutorial, I mention that a lot of people write goals for eye contact-and I wanted to clarify that I do not recommend writing eye contact goals. Instead, I recommend focusing on helping kids with the underlying communicative function, such as showing others you're paying attention or gaining attention of others, which can be achieved through other ways besides eye contact. In this episode, I mention the School of Clinical Leadership, my program that helps related service providers develop a strategic plan for putting executive functioning support in place in collaboration with their school teams. You can learn more about that program here: https://drkarendudekbrannan.com/clinicalleadershipIf you're already a member of either program and you refer a friend, tell them to email me at talktome@drkarenspeech.com if they join and let me know you referred them and I'll send you a $100 referral bonus.  We're thrilled to be sponsored by IXL. IXL's comprehensive teaching and learning platform for math, language arts, science, and social studies is accelerating achievement in 95 of the top 100 U.S. school districts. Loved by teachers and backed by independent research from Johns Hopkins University, IXL can help you do the following and more:Simplify and streamline technologySave teachers' timeReliably meet Tier 1 standardsImprove student performance on state assessments

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem I'm discussing a situation at my oldest kids highschool. The teacher decided to use the special needs class to represent toddlers for a day in order to prepare her students for a toddler play date the following month. There is something seriously wrong with this don't you think? Is there no one around this teacher proofing the lesson plans? This to me was a major problem. It turns out it was a problem for a few of the parents. I reached out to find out what the logic was here. Lets just say the response left me less than happy or satisfied that this would further anyones education. I'm not trying to be any kind of social justice warrior here. I'm just saying that using anyone for to represent something they aren't is not the best look. There should have been way more thought put in to this. The practice of using someone with a disability to represent toddler is just wrong. The needs of both people are vastly different and in my opinion are not in any way similar or representative of the other. I also find it hard to believe that parents of the students in the special needs class, had they known this was going on, would have been overly accommodating or happy about having their kids involved in such an experiment. I just don't think it's right to use people like that. Join the Sesh and let me know what you think.

The beginning of a new school year is both exciting and challenging. There is a lot to look forward to and a lot to get ready for! In my 17 years working in education, I've learned some things and created some classroom templates that help me get the year started. Today I'm sharing those resources with you.

Last week, I taught a brand-new beginner her very first piano lesson.Cora is 5 1/2 and is quite mature for her age. She is the youngest of three—her two older brothers also study with me. In fact, the oldest started with me when he was 5, a few weeks after Cora was born, so it's kind of a full-circle moment.I have a list of 12 things I like to get through in the first lesson. Twelve activities may sound like a lot for a 30-minute lesson, but at this age, we move pretty quickly.I've adjusted my first lesson plan through the years; if you dig into my blog archives, you'll find my “go-to plan for first piano lessons” from way back in 2015. The lesson plan I'm sharing with you today looks a little different, though I was surprised and pleased that some elements are the same after all these years.In this episode, you'll get my 2024 go-to plan for first piano lessons including a few ideas from master teachers and teaching strategies I've developed through practice.For show notes + a full transcript, click here.Resources Mentioned*Disclosure: I get commissions for purchases made through links in this post.My Go-To Plan for First Piano Lessons (2015 edition)Inspired Piano Teaching (Marvin Blickenstaff)Piano Safari FriendsPiano Safari Level 1Rhythm Keeper, Vol. 1 (Musikal Husky)Ep. 055 - Begin Again: The Case for Experimentation in Your Music TeachingEp. 059 - 7 Ways to Practice RhythmEp. 067 - Six Things I'm Documenting in the StudioIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review in Apple Podcasts >>Find me on Instagram: @ashleydanyew

On this episode of the Teaching Middle School ELA podcast, Caitlin, Jessica, and Megan have a candid conversation about the shortcomings they noticed collectively between their individual experiences earning their degrees or certifications in education. Their revelations unveil a large gap in learning happening for teachers prior to stepping into their classrooms. You'll hear that the single most impactful lesson they wish they had mastered before stepping into their first year as a classroom teacher is how to batch plan lessons rather than focusing on creating individual units in isolation.This skill of creating a roadmap of standards for a larger span of time actually provides teachers with a guide to follow throughout the year so that their individual units or resources have intentionality and purpose that in turn guarantees actual student growth throughout the school year. Developing a long term plan (a.k.a. Batch Plans) allows teachers to avoid the cycle of jumping from boring textbook lessons to browsing endlessly online during their weekends or re-inventing entire units on their personal time.When teachers avoid the cycle of planning day-to-day, they'll also avoid burnout! You'll walk away with new insights on the benefits of avoiding burnout; including keeping great teachers in the classroom supporting students for years to come!

Full Hour | In today's third hour, Dom welcomes in activist Tim Daly and parent Jesse Rivera from the Pennsbury School District onto the Dom Giordano Program after uncovering that teachers in the school district haven't submitted lesson plans in years.  Back around Thanksgiving, Rivera became frustrated after watching a video his son was forced to watch that paints a very dark and racial picture of the beloved holiday, a continuation of Critical Race Theory teachings. This lead him to connect with Tim Daly, which led to Right-to-Know requests, where they uncovered that teachers have been allegedly using a service to obtain lesson plans, not developing them themselves. Daly explains the allegations, revealing some shocking information about the school district and its' curricula that they've found through their research. (Photo by Getty Images)

What do you do when you aren't provided enough copies of books for every student? Unfortunately, this is a real problem that ELA teachers are facing. We know how incredibly frustrating and problematic this is for both teachers and students!  You want students to be engaged with the book. You know how important it is for students to read at home and dedicate class time to instruction. But access to limited materials is not allowing that to happen. Today we're back with a lesson plan rescue! We're sharing creative and productive ideas to overcome this issue so you can still accomplish what you need to in your classes. We'll look at how providing multiple ways of reading the book, decentering the novel, and layering units on top of each other can help you work around the lack of book copies. RESOURCES MENTIONED:Check out Amanda's Digital Choice Boards HEREDown With the Reading Quiz - Our Signature FREE TrainingSHOW NOTES: https://www.bravenewteaching.com/home/episode199Get any BNT workshop for just $7! shop.bravenewteaching.comSupport the show

Hey Sped Teacher, Are you nervous about an upcoming observation? Do you tend to stress yourself out by overdoing it on your observation lesson plans? For many teachers (me included!), pressure and nerves come along with knowing you have an observation coming up. I would try to come up with some new and exciting lesson that covered every aspect of a standard. I was a nervous wreck! After a few years, I realized that I didn't need to be doing this elaborate prep or creating brand new activities and lessons just because I was being observed. I was able to narrow it down to the 8 things that I knew I needed to include in my lessons in order for me to have a successful observation. Tune in to hear what I include in observation lessons and real life examples so you can put them into practice in time for your next observation!

When teaching goes off script… Welcome back to another episode of Teachers Off Duty, we're joined by the funny KC Mack, the always entertaining Bri Richardson and Mike Rivera. I hope you're ready because today we're diving into the hilarious, and sometimes bizarre world of lesson plans gone wrong. Bri kicks things off with a tale of football athletes fighting right in the middle of a school assembly! We dive into the chaos of breaking up a brawl and the unexpected roles we find ourselves in as educators. Mike takes us down memory lane with a throwback to when archery was part of the curriculum. We debate the pros and cons of such unconventional school activities, sharing our own wild experiences. Mike's got a story about a teacher who had an embarrassing experience searching up kittens falling from the ceiling mid-lesson. We talk about the wild unpredictability of teaching and how to navigate these unexpected classroom intrusions. And then there's the time a student decided to taste his shoe... Yes, it's as strange as it sounds. We share our own tales of student antics that left us scratching our heads. Mike hits us with another story about a police dog's surprise visit to his classroom, sniffing for drugs. Picture the scene: confused students, a bewildered teacher, and a dog on a mission. So, join us on Teachers Off Duty for an episode filled with surprises in the unpredictable world of teaching.
