Jennifer Findley shares a flexible behavior plan covering what to do the week before testing and during the week itself, including why your morning work is actually your undercover behavior plan and how to handle the tricky after-test time. It's all about routine, predictability, and keeping things steady.Links/Resources:Rock Your Test Prep: https://learn.jenniferfindley.com/rock-your-test-prep-seasonShare your takeaways and join the summit fun in the Teacher Winter Talks Facebook group!Teacher Winter Talks is sponsored by the Teacher Approved Club and Fashion Fix.

Dr. Shane Saaed shares practical strategies for making metacognition a routine part of your classroom (not just a buzzword on your lesson plans). From the "Stop & Think" routine to the 4 Steps of Metacognition to quick visual checks like "Fist to Five," he walks through how to help students accurately gauge their own understanding. The big shift here is moving the focus from the final product to the process of learning. If you're tired of students saying "I get it" when they clearly don't... this session helps you build the self-reflection habits that create genuinely independent learners.Links/Resources:Be the Flame: Sparking Classroom Communities (Book): https://www.amazon.com/Be-Flame-Sparking-Classroom-Communities/dp/1736199641Share your takeaways and join the summit fun in the Teacher Winter Talks Facebook group!Teacher Winter Talks is sponsored by the Teacher Approved Club and Fashion Fix.

Kelsey Sorenson offers a warm, grounded reset that actually makes sense for exhausted teachers. She explores why winter burnout is so real (biologically, emotionally, and practically) and why your response doesn't have to be more hustle. You'll walk away with a powerful mindset reframe and five simple tweaks you can start using today to soften the stress without overhauling your entire life. Think of it as a coaching-style permission slip to stop fighting the season and start working with it. If you've been white-knuckling your way through January waiting for things to feel easier... this session might be exactly the exhale you need.Links/Resources:Free Masterclass (From Burnout to Balance): https://educateandrejuvenate.com/sp/live-masterclass/Educate and Rejuvenate: www.educateandrejuvenate.comShare your takeaways and join the summit fun in the Teacher Winter Talks Facebook group!Teacher Winter Talks is sponsored by the Teacher Approved Club and Fashion Fix.

Ashley Sharp has a simple system to get your rotations running smoothly again without starting from scratch. Her three Rs framework (Reintroduce, Reestablish, Rebuild) walks you through exactly how to bring back manipulatives intentionally, reset expectations confidently, and rebuild that student stamina so centers actually run independently again.

Andriana Zarovska shares how to set calm, consistent, heart-centered boundaries and implement consequences that actually support learning (instead of just managing chaos). This isn't about being stricter or adding more rules. It's about helping students feel safe, guided, and understood while keeping your sanity intact. You'll walk away with strategies you can use immediately, whether it's neutral language, repair-focused consequences, or simply having a real conversation with students about expectations. If behavior management has started feeling like a constant battle... this session offers a gentler, more effective path forward.Links/Resources:Free Behavior Bootcamp Pack: https://www.theactiveeducator.com/holiday-behavior-bootcampConnect with Andriana: https://www.theactiveeducator.com/Share your takeaways and join the summit fun in the Teacher Winter Talks Facebook group!Teacher Winter Talks is sponsored by the Teacher Approved Club and Fashion Fix.

Sarah Paul and Michelle Sullivan reframe morphology as the system that connects decoding, spelling, vocabulary, and grammar... not "one more thing" to squeeze into your day. They share five no-prep routines (morpheme chains, word sums, matrices, word webs, and "spot the base") you can weave into what you're already doing this week. The goal isn't overhauling your instruction. It's helping students finally understand how English actually works, one meaningful morpheme at a time. If your word study block has felt disconnected or your students are still memorizing words in isolation... this mid-year reset might change everything.Links/Resources:FREE Word Posters: https://sarah-s-snippets.kit.com/2e3d64e8f4Connect with Michelle: https://www.michelleandthecolorfulclassroom.com/Connect with Sarah: https://sarahsnippets.com/Share your takeaways and join the summit fun in the Teacher Winter Talks Facebook group!Teacher Winter Talks is sponsored by the Teacher Approved Club and Fashion Fix.

Naomi Meredith breaks it down into three manageable steps (and here's the surprise: buying the printer isn't first). She walks through her favorite free design tools for elementary students, from Tinkercad for second grade and up to Doodle 3D Transform for the littlest learners. Then she covers printer recommendations and shares her go-to first project: name tag keychains that kids proudly hang on their backpacks.

Naomi O'Brien breaks down how to use a clear phonics scope and sequence (plus quick assessments) to pinpoint exactly where each student needs to start and move them forward with intention. She digs into why memorizing sight words actually holds readers back and how connecting high-frequency words to phonics patterns makes them stick. You'll also learn to read student errors like a diagnostic tool, understanding what those mistakes really reveal about what to teach next.

Jessica Ivey-Smith shares a simple four-step process for giving your ELA block a midyear makeover using picture books you already own. Instead of planning everything separately, she shows you how to identify the most teachable moments, pull craft-rich sentences, and design writing tasks that grow naturally from the text. The result? Cohesive, connected lessons that actually simplify your planning.

Courtney Bluem shares research-backed strategies to motivate even your most reluctant writers during the mid-year slump. Her secret weapon is a 10-minute daily routine that actually works: familiar text, partner talk, and one focused writing move.

Meg Celley-Anderson shares practical strategies and ready-to-use routines that help students think deeply, persevere, and take real ownership of their math understanding. This isn't about letting kids flounder... it's about giving them the tools to work through challenges and come out stronger on the other side.

On this week's show, Disneyland pros, David and Ronn dive into several sizzling Disney topics. Exploring the Disney Genie Service & Our Real-Time Experiences! It has many awkwardly named features creating unnecessary confusion but how intuitive is it? Is it easy to use? Is the navigation user-friendly and most importantly - how well does it work and how much value did it add to our visit?  David let the Genie plan his day while Ronnie used Genie+ for a "Park Domination" effort to see how it stacks up against the old MaxPass system. We have lots of Pro Tips! Where are the best and worst places we've ever been stuck on a broken-down attraction? Has Disneyland's recent inclusion of alcohol changed the dynamic of the Park? Why does Avenger's Campus have so much live entertainment while Galaxy's Edge has virtually none? Plus, we remember, celebrate, and honor The Three Caballeros, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Swiss Family Robinson, the Mike Fink Keel Boats, the Christmas in Many Lands Parade and Walt Disney gracing the cover of Time Magazine this week in Disney history. All this and the big reveal of our Top 5 Disneyland Resort Things We're Asking Santa for in 2022, and more!

The Storm Skiing Podcast is sponsored by Mountain Gazette - Listen to the podcast for discount codes on subscriptions and merch.WhoJeff Crowley, President of Wachusett Mountain, MassachusettsRecorded onNovember 29, 2021Why I interviewed himWhen the Crowleys showed up at “Mt. Wachusett Ski Area” in 1969, the place looked like any of the hundred-plus rinky-dink operations dotting the state at the time:Like subsistence farmers coaxing shoots from cracked earth in some pre-industrial past, Wachusett and its kin eked out a seasonal living. Simple operations powered by simple machines and whatever fell from the sky. Most failed. Wachusett thrived. Today, it looks like this:As I’ve written about other regionally beloved ski areas that persisted as their neighbors disappeared into the wilderness - Plattekill, Jiminy Peak - there was nothing inevitable about this. The Crowleys made it happen. Wachusett is not merely a survivor. It is one of the most successful ski areas in the country. Beloved and profitable, it hosts more than 400,000 annual skier visits on 130-ish acres. That’s only 50,000 fewer than 3,000-acre Whitefish. And yet, it works. The place is an absolute machine, every part of the experience optimized and streamlined, the relentless focus on one thing: to get as many people as possible skiing as much as possible.What we talked aboutWachusett ranked ahead of Stowe on Ski’s reader poll; opening weekend 2021; how a Massachusetts ski area beats so many larger, farther-north ski areas to open year after year; “we’re all crazy” at Wachusett; what the mountain looked like when the Crowleys showed up in 1969; the ski area’s Civilian Conservation Corps legacy; the oldest trail on the mountain; how Wachusett thrived as so many other Massachusetts ski areas failed; how a day skiing at Mount Snow inspired Ralph Crowley to buy Wachusett; how it feels when your dad buys a ski area; a cross-country adventure in lift installation; why Wachusett is likely to be a family-run operation for the foreseeable future; the Wachusett diaspora; the origins of Wa-Wa-Wachusett:…400,000-plus skier visits on a 130-acre ski area and the Wachusett MACHINE; climate-proofing the ski area; the irrepressible Worcester ski culture; the Wachusett you encounter will depend upon the time of day you show up; the importance of local ski journalism and what we lose when it fades; the vertical-drop and French fry battles between Berkshire East and Wachusett; how turmoil over old-growth forest near the mountain’s summit set the ski area’s modern footprint; why Wachusett doesn’t have marked glades; whether the ski area could ever lose its lease; what the ski area is considering as a replacement for its summit lift; sponsored chairlifts; why Wachusett installed a 300-vertical-foot high-speed quad; where the old Monadnock lift went; the Vickery Bowl expansion; whether the ski area could ever expand again; how Wachusett helps preserve land all over the state; why the mountain grooms twice per day; why the ski area will continue making snow into the end of March; beating Killington to open in 2020; that one time you could ski in May in Massachusetts; why the mountain continued to limit season pass sales and cut the ski day into sessions for 2021-22, and whether those changes will persist; keeping lift-ticket prices low; reciprocal season-pass partners; why Wachusett didn’t migrate from the MAX Pass to the Ikon Pass; whether the mountain could ever join another multi-mountain pass; reaction to the advent of the Epkon passes in New England; why Wachusett pass sales persist in this environment; you won’t believe the ski area that Wachusett bid on last year; and why Crowley thinks I should buy a ski area and why I probably never will.Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewBecause from my seat, it doesn’t make sense: the Epkon passes keep getting more affordable, their kingdoms spreading like videogame emperors, and Wachusett doesn’t flinch. It was on a megapass and the megapass disappeared and the mountain didn’t join another one. They’re just like, “nah we’re good.” But in an accent impossible to imitate and designed to make me look ridiculous if I tried. Wachusett just keeps going. A third-grade bubblegum-wrapper detective could figure out why: great location, good managers, rabid local skiers. Fine. It’s still surrounded by abandoned ski areas. What makes this place special, a true independent independent in an era of consolidation and backed-into-a-corner coalition building? Listen to Crowley and you’ll get it pretty quick. I sure did.What I got wrongI said on the podcast that Jiminy Peak and Pats Peak had lift-ticket prices exceeding $100. This is incorrect. Jiminy Peak’s top rate for the 2021-22 ski season is $99. Pats Peak tops out at $89. I also referred to Connecticut’s Woodbury ski area as “Middlebury,” making my second ridiculous yeah-I’m-not-from-New-England mistake in as many weeks.Why you should ski WachusettWell, if you live in eastern Massachusetts, the answer is pretty straightforward: because it’s right there, a thousand-footer parked in your backyard. High-speed lifts and twice-a-day grooming and ticket/pass prices that are entirely reasonable. No well-I-guess-I-don’t-really-need-my-kidney-medication sticker-shock here. Even the cafeteria is affordable. It’s the same reason I ski Mountain Creek from my perch in New York City – there’s no reason not to.If you’re anyone else, from anywhere else, there are infinite other reasons why Wachusett may appeal to you: to support a family-owned business, to be part of the mania, to witness The MACHINE. I don’t know. I figured out a while ago that I could spend the rest of my lift skiing the same six ski areas in Vermont that everyone else did, or I could explore a little. I’m having a lot more fun since I decided on the latter path. Five Star Recommend. Just go.Additional reading/videosLift Blog’s inventory of Wachusett’s lift fleetHistoric Wachusett trailmaps on skimap.orgWachusett perennially appears among the top 20 resorts on Ski magazine’s Eastern resort rankings - it nabbed the No. 15 spot this yearLongtime Worcester Telegram & Gazette snowsports columnist Shaun Sutner appeared on the podcast last week, and we discussed Wachusett and Worcester at length.

News: This week, we got some more details about the Genie service coming to the parks soon. Over in Walt Disney World, the service will launch on October 19th. No date is set for Disneyland yet, but Disney says it will be announced soon. The Genie+ service, which is an additional cost, will be available at a number of attractions and works just like MaxPass from before the closure. Individual Lightning Lane selections will be an additional purchase on top of Genie+ and Lightning Lane, and will be priced from $7 to $15 per attraction, per guest. At this time, only Radiator Springs Racers, WEB Slingers, and Rise of the Resistance will be on the Lightning Lane+ service. – https://www.ocregister.com/2021/10/08/disneyland-reveals-new-disney-genie-details-heres-how-the-itinerary-planning-app-works/ and https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2021/10/disney-genie-launching-at-walt-disney-world-resort/ At Disneyland, the following attractions will feature Lightning Lane as part of the Genie+ paid service. To be clear, these are part of the $20 per guest, per day Genie+ service, and not part of the Lightning Lane additional charge. Autopia, Big Thunder, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, Haunted Mansion, Indiana Jones, it's a small world, Matterhorn, Smuggler's Run, Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, and Star Tours. Over in DCA, Goofy's Sky School, Grizzly River Run, Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission Breakout, Incredicoaster, Monsters, Inc., Soarin', and Midway Mania. – https://www.ocregister.com/2021/10/08/disneyland-announces-22-rides-where-you-can-pay-to-skip-the-lines-heres-how/ and https://disneyland.disney.go.com/genie/ Guests that have been to Disney California Adventure this past week on rainy days may have been able to ride Web Slingers by waiting in a standby queue, instead of getting a boarding pass. Disneyland is switching to a standby queue on days when the attendance are lower for the new attraction. Guests who get a boarding group at the 7am window will have their boarding group honored, but there may not be a need for the noon boarding groups, and switch to standby only. The standby queue usually becomes active around 4-6pm. – https://www.ocregister.com/2021/10/12/disneyland-pauses-web-slingers-virtual-queue-on-slow-days-and-switches-to-standby-line/ One of the big questions guests have been asking a lot recently is what is going on with the trams? The Orange County Register thinks that it is still related to the COVID-19 health and safety regulations that have been in place since the parks reopened. There were some posts online this week that said the trams were needing repairs after not being run for nearly a year and a half and maintenance teams are already overloaded. So, the real answer to when the trams come back is anyone's guess. – https://www.ocregister.com/2021/10/11/when-will-disneyland-parking-lot-trams-return/ Joffrey's Coffee & Tea Company has finally made it to the west coast from Florida. The coffee stand that sits at the entrance to Pixar Pier and Paradise Wharf was recently converted to a Joffrey's, along with adding mobile ordering and some food offerings. Breakfast offerings are abailable until 11am, with a burrito available after. A chia fruit salad, sugar cookie, chocolate chip cookie, and chocolate croissants are offered all day. – https://dlnewstoday.com/2021/10/photos-joffreys-coffee-tea-company-makes-disneyland-resort-debut-at-the-gourmet-coffee-stand-at-disney-california-adventure/ Disney+ has been an excellent source of information and entertainment about the parks since it launched in 2019. A new movie, which will focus on the creation of Disneyland, will be debuting on the service in the future. The movie will be written by Evan Spiliotopoulos, who worked on The Jungle Book 2 and Beauty and the Beast. David Gordon Green is set to direct. He worked on Halloween and Halloween Kills as the writer and director. – https://dlnewstoday.com/2021/10/movie-focusing-on-disneylands-creation-coming-to-disney/ The Disneyland Resort has been hiring quite a few new cast members recently, although not a lot with more than two legs! The Circle D Ranch has recently received 5 new horses for Disneyland. The new horses are Dublin, a four-year-old Belgian and Percheron cross, Champ and his half brother Chip, who are 5 years-old and are Clydesdales. Lily is 5 years-old, with no breed mentioned. Finally, there is Pumpkin, who is one-and-a-half years old, and is a Percheron. The training to get horses from the ranch to Disneyland can take from 6 months to a year, depending on the horse. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2021/10/meet-the-new-disneyland-horses-at-circle-d-ranch/ After three long years, the current Disneyland Ambassadors Justin and Rafa, who would normally have held the position for two years, but because of COVID, their term was extended to three years, will retire to other positions in the parks. The new 2022-223 Ambassadors were announced last week, making their titles official. Mark is currently a stage manager in Disney California Adventure, starting with the company back in 2013. Nataly is a guest relations VIP hostess, starting with the company back in 2010. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2021/10/meet-the-next-disneyland-resort-ambassador-team/ Weeklyteers who are like Tage and love building models of Disneyland, there is a new 3D model book coming out soon! “Build Your Own Disneyland Park: Press Out 3D Model is now available for preorder on Amazon for $14.99. The book has 35 press out pieces and instructions to build a 3D model of Disneyland. There is also some information about each of the lands in the book.

Some of the wallpapers include Miss Piggy as Madame Pigota, Animal, and Muppet versions of famous locations from the Haunted Mansion. There are some GIPHY stickers when you search Disney Plus Life on Instagram, and more. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2021/10/celebrate-muppets-haunted-mansion-with-all-new-digital-wallpapers-stickers-and-more/ The Haunted Mansion exhibit at Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln has been updated to include some of the props that were used to film the Muppets Haunted Mansion special. Some of the items include a “2 DIE 4” license plate, the crystal ball from Madame Pigota, the maids spray bottle from that same scene, coffins, and more. There are even notes from the Muppets themselves about some of the items! – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2021/10/08/photos-you-can-see-props-used-in-muppets-haunted-mansion-in-disneyland/ Uva Bar in Downtown Disney has some new drinks on the menu for Halloween.

With breaking news about the Disney Genie coming to Walt Disney World and Disneyland, both Ryan's tackle the difficult task of trying to understand how it works. Disney Genie replaces FastPass and MaxPass, but there are two paid features that need to be explained, Disney Genie+ and Lightning Lane individual attractions. Ryan and Ryan try their best to make sense of it all and give you their opinions on whether it will be worth the upgrade or if the "free" features are enough. Facebook Instagram

Disney recently introduced a new Disney Genie service for guests, coming this fall for both Walt Disney World and Disneyland California. The Disney Genie service will be a free service for all parks guests, offering personalized itineraries based on your preferences, as well as other features designed to enhance your visit to the parks. Disney also announced the Disney Genie+ service, which will be available to purchase for park guests and essentially takes the place of FastPasses (and MaxPass at Disneyland). Lastly, Disney announced that parkgoers will have the option to purchase Lightning Lane passes for individual attractions. This is all quite complex with several unanswered questions still out there, including which attractions will fall under Genie+ and which attractions will have Lightning Lane passes available to purchase. In this episode, I break down each of these services, and I share my honest thoughts about what we know so far about each service.  What do you think so far of the Disney Genie and Disney Genie+ services?
