So far in this series on More Than Mentoring, we've been talking about mentoring you receive as a classroom teacher. On today's episode, we step inside Northern Arizona University's College of Education and talk with two faculty about how they mentor student teachers.  Bobby Macias and Ashley Esparza are both teach and support pre-service educators at NAU. They share with host Juliana Urtubey, NBCT, about the current realities of supporting pre-service educators and the conversations they are having with those they support. As we explore the mentoring components of pre-service support, Bobby talks about reflective practice and the ways educators strive to meet the needs of every student. Ashley discusses how to model authentic reflection in practice as a way of making this practice more authentic for pre-service students.  Ashley and Bobby also provide a deep dive into how they support pre-service educators and the incredibly rich experience that students in NAU's education programs have an opportunity to experience. They detail the collaborative supports available to pre-service educators in order to help them be fully prepared for a successful entry into their career. Juliana also explores what Ashley and Bobby have had the opportunity to learn as they mentor future educators and the ways in which we are learning to sustain educators and teachers in classrooms. Bobby and Ashley wrap up this episode with how they feel that mentorship supports educators in the field and the impact that this has on students.

In this exciting episode of Teaching Like Plato, Ms.D explores the innovative teaching methods that can be applied to the math curriculum, explicitly focusing on imagery and visual literacy and how they can enhance learning. She discusses the interconnectedness of mathematics and art, explaining how visual aids such as diagrams, memes, and student-created artwork may boost engagement, critical thinking, and inclusivity in the classroom. The episode emphasizes the importance of multisensory learning and will suggest strategies to incorporate visual literacy across all subjects to create a more accessible and inclusive learning environment!

There is a lack of teacher education materials that develop equity literacy in content courses for preservice secondary mathematics teachers. In response, we created teacher education curriculum materials for introductory statistics that include an integrated focus on developing equity literacy and critical statistical literacy. In this article, we provide an overview of our materials' design along with a detailed look at one activity regarding racial demographics and tracking in high school STEM courses. We present evidence regarding the positive impact of these materials on the teacher candidates' competency, value, and likelihood of applying their equity literacy and critical statistical literacy. Implications for mathematics teacher educators working to develop equity literacy together with content knowledge are discussed. https://modules2dotcom.wordpress.com Special Guests: Andrew Ross and Stephanie Casey.

In this episode, Theresa suggests practical self-care techniques, such as deep breathing and periodic self-check-ins during the day. She also emphasizes the importance of considering the ten domains when creating a self-care routine and focusing on one aspect at a time.If you are an educator struggling to balance your professional and personal life, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn how to prioritize your well-being and create a sustainable self-care routine that works for you.

We know that getting to know your students is not something we start and stop during the first week of school.

Dr. Shenghua Zha, an assistant professor of instructional design and development at the University of South Alabama, discusses her National Science Foundation grant "Preparing Elementary Pre-service Teachers to Integrate Computing across the Curriculum." This project is a collaboration between Zha and colleagues from the College of Engineering and College of Education and Professional Studies. The assumptions driving this grant are that computing is an interdisciplinary skill that is often not taught in an interdisciplinary manner, and one that is now significantly supported by state curriculum mandates. These project leaders are working together to deliver and evaluate training for early career teachers to integrate principles of computing into the teaching of English language arts, social studies, mathematics and science. This is accomplished through the use of developmentally appropriate interfaces that expose young learners to principles of computing from basic concepts to coding practices. The larger goal of the grant is to encourage teachers to continue integrating computing into their instruction across the elementary curriculum as they move into their careers.

Preservice elementary teachers (PSTs) often enter their teacher preparation programs with procedural and underdeveloped understandings of area measurement and its applications. This is problematic given that area and the area model are used throughout K–Grade 12 to develop flexibility in students' mathematical understanding and to provide them with a visual interpretation of numerical ideas. This study describes an intervention aimed at bolstering PSTs' understanding of area and area units with respect to measurement and number and operations. Following the intervention, results indicate that PSTs had both an improved ability to solve area tiling tasks as well as increased flexibility in the strategies they implemented. The results indicate that PSTs, similar to elementary students, develop a conceptual understanding of area from the use of tangible tools and are able to leverage visualizations to make sense of multiplicative structure across different strategies.

This episode is inspired by my new book (coming September 2022), "50 tips for New Teachers". I co-authored the book with Matthew Rhoads, Ed.D, Casey Jakubowski, Ph.D., and Kevin Leichtman, Ph.D. We share 50 tips for supporting new teachers throughout the year. We discuss just a single tip here. Are you interested in learning more about the book? Join the waitlist - https://view.flodesk.com/pages/62aa87a43e1f4ce38387efdd According to We are Teachers (2021), "Restorative justice is a theory of justice that focuses on mediation and agreement rather than punishment. Offenders must accept responsibility for harm and make restitution to victims." Restorative practice is rooted in Indigenous practices. Restorative practices build school community and respectfully address challenges caused by challenging behavior. Instead of punishing students, these practices promote restoring relationships among students and a student taking ownership of their behaviors. There are three tiers of restorative justice.

Dr. Sam Fecich - professor of education, author, podcaster, and speaker - shares her contagious enthusiasm and practical tips for new teachers as they enter their first classrooms, as well as preservice educators who are preparing to teach someday. “You've taught before, you've worked with students before, but now it's your classroom!” “Keeping families involved in their child's education [...] is a great predictor of attendance and success in the classroom, no matter what grade or subject area that you teach.” “When you're transitioning from student teaching into being a first-year teacher, start the job search process as early as possible. Look for schools that feed your teaching soul, that support your teaching philosophy.” “Your classroom does not need to be Pinterest perfect from day one.” Tips new teachers: Familiarize yourself with the curriculum, get to know your students and other staff, and look for additional resources “Make those small movements toward building relationships with students before or during day one, but it's not something that ends after that first week; we get to keep knowing our students throughout that school year.” Tips for preservice teachers: Set up professional social media accounts, create and maintain a digital portfolio, connect with other educators online, and look for opportunities to present content at conferences or in written form Find out about Sam's podcast and book on her website: https://www.sfecich.com/ Edumagic: A Guide for Preservice Teachers and Edumagic Shine On: A Guide for New Teachers “You are strong, you are brave, you are courageous.

We cover five common student teaching questions. From how to work with a co-op and classroom expectations, as well as time management and edtech we cover it all. Specifically, we cover the following questions about student teaching.1. My biggest question is honestly how to manage the work and social life aspect of teaching. I've managed it somewhat over the year of pre-student teaching and student teaching in kindergarten but I'm still struggling. Mine is how to set boundaries for yourself between school and home!! I don't have to worry so much about it right now, but I know myself, and I know I'll struggle with it when I have my own classroom!!2. Finding the balance of managing classroom behavior but not having too many rules or appearing mean.3. How can we do a good job of trying new things and making our practicums our own without ruining established classroom rules/procedures? I'm so nervous to try new things in case it causes issues for my mentor teacher. 4. What are some ways you can cope or things you can do when you and your co-op have completely different teaching philosophies?5. What are some ways you can transform worksheets or present worksheets in an engaging manner without differing from worksheets?

Supporting our preservice teachers is fundamental to a sustainable education system. Dr Sandy Nicoll has worked with thousands of preservice teachers and through the New Brew podcast is creating a network of educators that support each other's practice. Hosted by Ben Newsome from Fizzics Education About Dr Sandy Nicoll Dr Sandy Nicoll's PhD was conferred in 2019 on the topic: How do primary preservice teachers learn to engage students in learning during professional experience? After teaching in Higher Education since 2007, and a classroom teacher for 3 decades Dr Sandy estimates she has walked alongside over 15,000 pre-service teachers as a tutor and lecturer. She loves the idea of engaging others so we can empower them to create and elevate.
