Among the many insights and gems Jeff shares, he discusses: 1. The importance of networking across aisles (race, gender, socioeconomic status, etc.) in college. Two key benefits of having a vast network are landing new jobs before you even start looking and establishing connections that may benefit you in your side hustle. 2. Why building skills while in college is critical. Jeff recommends that students take advantage of certification opportunities (i.e. process and project management certifications) while they are free or offered at a reduced cost. 3.How his experience with culture shock in high school prepared him for adapting to the cultures of his college and various working environments. 4. Debunking the imposter syndrome. Jeff shares a personal experience and explains why you should always take your shot at a career opportunity that interests you. Connect with Jeff!

Transitioning from the founder to a new CEO is by far one of the most difficult transitions an organization can face. It’s incredibly rare to hear of that going well but we found an example of two people who did that with tremendous grace and skill. In today’s episode, we will hear from Ellen Moir, the founder and former CEO of the New Teacher Center and the CEO that followed her, Desmond Blackburn. The New Teacher Center works with districts to help retain you guessed it...new teachers. They’re in 27 states and over 400 school districts. Not only did Ellen pass along the baton of leadership to Desmond, but more importantly, she also passed along all of her key relationships. If you’re a founder and thinking about retiring or a new CEO following in the footsteps of a founder, this episode is for you. Show Highlights: How New Teacher Center grew from an idea hatched at Ellen’s kitchen table to a successful nationally known non-profit Why talented and passionate new teachers often quit in the month of October and how Ellen created a support to prevent these losses What prevented Desmond from being one of those teachers who resign in October during his first year of teaching When and how Ellen realized it was time to retire What Ellen took from the conflicting advice she read about how to plan for a succession process The recommended time frame for a successful transition and announcement of retirement How ego and self need to be put aside for mission and legacy for both founding CEO and new CEO in the transition process How Desmond knew that NTC would be the next path for him Being conscious of your greatest fears and greatest hopes The process of building out a transition from one CEO to another The importance of relationships in passing off the baton What Ellen’s interface with the organization looks like now The responsibilities that have to be held as a successor Taking advantage of the relationships established by the predecessor Links: https://newteachercenter.org

Have you ever encountered a person with an aversion toward mathematics? Get ready to rewrite your math autobiography with the Director of Teaching and Learning from the Buckeye Elementary School District and past Chief Learning Officer for the Rodel Charitable Foundation of Arizona. Dr. Kim Rimbey will help you realize it’s time we twist the negative narrative because the subject isn’t going anywhere. As educators, we must relearn math and redefine what it means in our classrooms. Donnie and Danielle discuss the importance of thinking and learning, rather than just chalking out procedures. Listen along as the three National Board Certified Teachers make the case for math. Join us next week as we learn from the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of New Teacher Center, Ellen Moir.

5: 'Your job is to be an expert learner.' with Stacy Sniegowski In this episode I had a great Swift education conversation with Stacy Sniegowski. After graduating from Purdue University in 2005, with a BS in Mathematics Education and minor in French, Stacy began her career in the Chicago Public School system. Over the next ten years, she worked in the district as a teacher and instructional coach to design learning experiences for K- 12 students and teachers in math, science, engineering, technology and foreign languages. Her training with the New Teacher Center, developed her skills in adult learning, instructional coaching strategies, and mentoring techniques. For the last two years, Stacy has worked with MobileMakersEdu to support high school teachers to bring mobile app development into their schools and iOS developers to develop their skill sets in instruction. She enjoys working with both educators and software developers from across the US and the globe. To this date, Stacy's work has advanced the learning of more than 200 teachers and almost 14,000 students. In her spare time, Stacy works with her husband to run their “creativty clubhouse” business, WholesomeZine, a place for artists to gain 21st century skills to promote their craft. She manages the operations, training, internships and social media for the company, in addition to being a DJ on WholesomeRadio. I would like to thank Stacy from taking time out of her busy schedule for an insightful and illuminating discussion about developing teachers into Swift programmers and the state of coding with Swift in schools today.
