Louisiana teacher of the year sues to stop state's Ten Commandments lawNewsweek, By Natalie Venegas, on October 23, 2024https://www.newsweek.com/louisiana-teacher-year-sues-stop-states-ten-commandments-law-1973796The panel discusses Louisiana's HB 71, a law mandating the display of the Ten Commandments in public classrooms. Christopher Diehr, the 2020 Louisiana Teacher of the Year, has filed a lawsuit against the statute, arguing it infringes on the separation of church and state.Panelists explore the historical arguments for the law, noting a Supreme Court ruling recognizing the Ten Commandments' significance in American history but questioning the law's constitutionality and its implications for teachers and students of various faiths.They express concern that the law pressures educators to promote religious doctrine and marginalizes non-Christian students. The conversation also touches on the historical context of religious influence in America and the challenges posed by this law in the education system.The Non-Prophets, Episode 23.44.1 featuring Scott Dickie, Damien H, Kelley Laughlin and Stephen HarderBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.

Leading Better and Growing Faster with Joe & TJ: Guest Debbie Silver Talks about Inspiring Educators to Enjoy the Job They Once Loved About Debbie Silver Dr. Debbie Silver is a former Louisiana Teacher of the Year, a best-selling author, and a highly sought-after speaker. She has presented to educators, administrators, parents, and students in 49 states, Europe, Asia, Africa, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and the Middle East. Her best-selling books include Drumming to the Beat of Different Marchers, Teaching Kids to Thrive, and the recently updated and revised Fall Down 7 Times Get Up 8, and Deliberate Optimism: Still Reclaiming the Joy in Education. Debbie's high-energy sessions address both the art and heart of teaching. Audiences delight in hearing this 30-year veteran teacher whose presentations are described as “where learning collides with laughter.” What You'll Find in this Episode with Debbie Silver Debbie starts off with the fact that her book Deliberate Optimism focuses on leadership, specifically teacher leaders. Dr. Silver talks about the need for teachers to have more time without students so they can break the stagnation and build a relationship culture. Don't miss what she says about optimism and “what matters.” Debbie talks about incremental steps rather than massive changes. We need to balance the art and the heart of teaching. She reminds us to look for glimmers, not triggers. She dives into the idea of failing better and building our collective efficacy. She talks about teaching educators to vent properly and not pull the profession down. Don't miss what she says about new teachers not having more than 4 hours of teaching a day so that they can spend more time observing master teachers. T.J. asks Debbie about modeling. Don't miss her response and her call for unity. Her insight about teacher training and isolation is thought provoking. What we expect from teachers, specifically new teachers, is impossible and unlike any other profession. Joe mentions the potential that PLC have to support teacher capacity and growth. Listen to what she says they cannot be. Her ingredients for leadership success are straightforward: common vision, shared value system, mutual respect, and optimism. Debbie brings up Brene Brown, Rick Wormli, Association of Middle Level Educators, and other resources that you'll want to check out. The one thing people should do more regularly is to give others the benefit of the doubt. She reminds us that adults want to be treated like adults. Dr. Silver ends with wanting to learn more about how to use Artificial Intelligence. Our riff on Chat GPT is great.

Dishonesty in education policy is not a new thing. From the criminalization of Black education to the arrests and trials of the East LA 13 to now, individuals from historically marginalized, oppressed, and excluded communities have received the message that our histories, our contributions, and our humanness are not welcome in our schools. A few months ago Monica Washington (2014 Texas Teacher of the Year), Tracey Nance (2020/2021 Georgia Teacher of the Year), Chris Dier (2020 Louisiana Teacher of the Year), Takeru Nagayoshi (2020 Massachusetts Teacher of the Year), and I were invited to participate in the Voices for Honest Education Fellowship. We were deployed as voices for and with educators to combat fear-based education gag orders and book bans. Initially, the manufactured uproar over Critical Race Theory was the pressure point that bad actors located. As this strategy foundered, they turned their attention to LGBTQ students, teachers, and communities. We know that these bad actors are a fringe minority, but, unfortunately, they represent the tail that has wagged multiple dogs at the state and local levels. While it may be easy to dismiss them as a small group that doesn't represent all Americans, they have successfully removed teachers, curriculum, and books from K-12 schools. One need look no further than Florida to see what happens when a small group gets the attention of an ambitious politician. We sat down to discuss our work, and to invite you into the struggle. Find more information by finding Voices for Honest Education on all social media platforms. Read our blog, attend our events, and let us know how it's going in your space.

Everyone agrees it's critical to teach Black history to kids with learning differences and ADHD, as well as to students who get special education. But what's the best way to teach it? How can families engage their kids in Black history — as well as in current events in the Black community? This episode features Kimberly Eckert, 2018 Louisiana Teacher of the Year, in a conversation about race, parenting, and Black history. Kimberly shares her personal experience growing up as a biracial Black woman in a bayou in the South, and how she talks about race with her daughter today. She describes “80/20 time,” a method to get kids engaged in learning. Co-hosts Julian Saavedra and Marissa Wallace also share their picks for books and activities for kids — especially Black boys — to learn about Black history.To find a transcript for this episode and more resources, visit the episode page at Understood.

Louisiana high school teacher Jonathan Koeppel spoke out recently against the gender-identity ideology being promoted at his school. A video of his remarks at a school board meeting quickly went viral.During the meeting in April, Koeppel played an audio clip for the school board from an education app the school uses, called “BrainPop,” in which students were advised to refer to individuals as “they” if the student didn't know that individual's "preferred" pronouns. "I would have thought that this is only happening in California or in New Jersey, New York, and the more progressive—what I would call—progressive states," said Koeppel, who teaches in the St. Tammany Parish Public Schools system.Not only is the school allowing a far-left ideology to be pushed on children, but it’s also teaching students incorrect grammar, he said. Koeppel joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain why he chose to speak out and how the school board, parents, and other teachers responded to his remarks. We also cover these stories: President Joe Biden gives a speech in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on closing the racial wealth gap. Former President Barack Obama says that Biden is finishing the work of his administration. In a message for gay pride month, Biden calls out former President Donald Trump and conservative states for passing legislation that banned biological males from participating in girls and women’s sports.Enjoy the show!
