Welcome to Season 3, the 23rd episode of 'The Art of Teaching Business' Podcast, where we explore the world of teaching business education classes. I'm your host, Denise Leigh, a veteran business education teacher with 28 years in the classroom, a finalist for the 2022 Pennsylvania Teacher of the Year award, and a nationally known speaker at business education conferences. In Episode 23 of The Art of Teaching Business Podcast, I discuss the importance of active listening as a secret weapon in the classroom.  As a veteran teacher, I've discovered that many educators aren't teaching this crucial skill. I explained how I made active listening a fundamental part of my business communications course and shared its key components: maintaining eye contact, asking questions, reflecting on what we hear, being patient, and listening without judgment.  I've found that emphasizing active listening transforms classroom culture and gives students a valuable life skill for their future careers. It's not just about hearing, but understanding and being fully present in conversations.

AP correspondent Lisa Dwyer reports on a lawsuit involving a teacher and their involvement in the Jan. 6 rally.

  Pennsylvania has a shortage of teachers. More than 2,100 teaching positions were vacant in the state as of October, according to newly released state data — and almost a quarter of those spots were filled not with full-time teachers, but with long-term substitutes. Some who produced the report called it a crisis.Dr. Edward Fuller, a Professor of Education in the Education Policy Studies Department at Penn State University worked on the report and was on The Spark Wednesday. Fuller indicated that not all school districts are having trouble hiring enough teachers. He pointed to Philadelphia and the rural school districts between Harrisburg and State College as areas where the teacher shortage is most pronounced. Fuller said suburban districts, especially in eastern Pennsylvania, are experiencing the shortage as much as some others. Fuller said the districts having the most critical teacher needs are often the ones that are classified as poorer districts and not getting funding from Harrisburg to meet the needs of their students. Fuller explained why there are fewer teachers to hire,"The number of people who entered teaching preparation programs fell dramatically across the entire United States from the onset of the recession (in 2008) till about 2016. And then it's kind of been flat since. But we lost a ton of teachers. Some of that was because a lot of teachers were laid off during the recession. And when you see a profession having layoffs here, it's not a great choice to go into that profession, right? You wonder, am I even going to get a job, much less how much am I going to make? Teacher pay has been stagnant for much of the last 30 to 40 years. Teachers average teacher pay is essentially the same as it was in 1990 when I was teaching. Once you constant dollars. So, you know, adjusting for inflation and everything. The pay has fallen below some comparable, professions, particularly like nursing. So I looked at I think, 21 labor markets in Pennsylvania and compared beginning nursing salaries to beginning teacher salaries and all but three instances nurses made substantially more, sometimes in the range of $10,000 more per year, which is a lot. And colleges have become increasingly expensive, especially in Pennsylvania, where we have some of the highest tuition rates in the country. So if you're an 18 year old and you're deciding, what do I want to be? And if you're you're paying attention to the economics of your decision, you're going to look and go, wow, It's going to cost a lot. I'm going to come out of college with student debt. I'm going to go into teaching and make between 30 and 50,000 a year beginning where I start, and it's going to take a long time to pay off my, my student loans...The other part of the the explanation is there's been, lack of two things, a lack of autonomy by teachers. So, teaching has become increasingly guided by scripted lessons where they tell you exactly what to say, things like that. And, so they have less decision making authority in their classroom. And there's been lots of attacks on teachers. So going back to even 2008, we had "Race to the Top" under the Obama administration. In the some of the rhetoric around that was like, teachers aren't very smart. We need to get rid of all the bad ones. There's lots of bad ones. They need to be fired. We need to replace them with better teachers. And so teachers and teaching really started to be denigrated. And that has continued over time and in recent years. And we've just halted. We've seen them being called names, really despicable names for no reason. And, and that's really turned people off as well. And, that has caused, some increased attrition, which makes the shortage worse too, because you have people leaving. We don't have enough people in teacher preparation programs. If you're a district, what do you do? You have to hire somebody, right? Either that or make classes really large. So you hire somebody on an emergency permit." Fuller was asked if students are impacted by the teacher shortage,"We have research that shows students who are taught by a teacher on an emergency permit, so a long term substitute or series of short term substitutes or somebody who's working toward a certification and just hasn't fulfilled all the requirements here. Children taught by those teachers don't learn as much in the differences pretty large between those children and children who are taught by a fully certified teacher. So, we're really disadvantaging some students by not addressing this shortage." Fuller told us the shortage of special education and English as a Second Language teachers is especially acute. Fuller talked about some possible solutions,"There's no silver bullet in education. But, implementing the court's ruling on school finance (The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled the state's funding formula for education wasn't providing money equitably and was unconstitutional), reducing the cost of getting a teaching certificate would help, particularly if you're going to go into special education. Or else we should probably make it free for if you're going to teach special ed, those things would would help, paying for student teaching so that you don't have to teach and you have to work for free at a school and then go to your job after to go through student teaching. So fully funding student teacher stipends would work in starting grow your own program. So we increase the supply of teachers, particularly teachers of color, who turn out to be, research finds a little bit more effective than white teachers for most students."    Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Full Hour | Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by discussing a situation he was made aware of over in Norristown, Pennsylvania, with the Pennsylvania Teacher's Union allegedly providing cards signaling virtue, that give a QR code that links to a website that provides ‘how-to' sexual advice, even for bondage. Then, Dom and Dan toss around who they think may be Trump's choice for VP, with Dom telling why he'd be against the former President picking Kari Lake, who recently ran for Governor of Arizona. Also, Dom reveals some information that's already been released about the Texas white supremacist mass shooter, causing him to again question why we haven't seen any more about the Tennessee transgendered shooter. Then, Dom welcomes Don Trump Jr. back onto the Dom Giordano Program to hear what he's been up to since his father left office. First, Giordano asks Don about his new book, Letters to Trump, a new coffee-table book that features some ironic letters sent to Trump from detractors and some heartwarming letters sent by friends. Then, Dom asks Trump Jr. about his comments about Fox News, asking why the former President's son has not appeared on Fox News, with Don suggesting that the network has come firmly out against another presidential run for his father. Then, Dom asks Trump Jr. about the media treatment of Hunter Biden, asking how he thinks the media would cover his family if it were either he or his brother that have imbibed in all that Hunter has done. Also, Trump Jr. tells whether he's considering throwing his own hat into the political realm, and suggests there may be some news involving Tucker Carlson in the very near future.  (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)

Welcome to the second episode of 'The Art of Teaching Business' Podcast, where we explore the world of teaching business education classes. I'm your host, Denise Leigh, a veteran business education teacher with over 25 years in the classroom and a finalist for the 2022 Pennsylvania Teacher of the Year award. In this podcast, I'll be sharing my teaching philosophy: student-led learning. I do not teach from PowerPoints. I have 5 or 6 preps sometimes. That would be too much talking! As an advocate for this approach to instructing, I use it every single day in my classroom. Student-led instruction involves stepping back as the teacher and being their coach on the sideline and allowing students to take the lead in their learning. It's about fostering creativity, problem-solving, and inclusive classrooms that meet the needs of every learner. In this episode, I'll share examples of how I implement student-led instruction in my lessons, the benefits it brings, and how it allows me to engage and connect with my students in a whole new way. So get ready to explore the power of student-led learning in this exciting episode of The Art of Teaching Business!
