Guest: Andrea Bitner Show Title: We Are the Ticket with Andrea Bitner Power Quote: “Lack of language does not equal lack of intelligence”  Description:I love doing shows where you, my colleague, can walk away with concrete steps to use in making immediate incremental improvements. The only thing better than those shows are the ones offering a transformative shift in perspective – where you can see an issue or topic from a radically different point of view that changes how you perceive and think. Today you will get both – some practical steps to begin taking and a transformative shift in perspective. Today we are diving into supporting students, and their families,  who are English Learners.  Guest Bio:Andrea Bitner is an educator, author, and speaker.  She lives in Philadelphia, PA. and has worked with students in grades K-12 and from all around the world throughout her twenty-two years in public education.  Her first book, “Take Me Home,” was published by Austin Macauley in July of 2021.

In our recent enlightening discussion, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Andrea Bitner to delve into the vital topic of supporting English Language Learners (ELLs) in our schools. Andrea, a distinguished educator and author of the book "Take Me Home," provided invaluable insights into how we can create inclusive and empowering learning environments for ELLs. We explored a wealth of resources and practical tools that educators can readily implement in their classrooms to facilitate language acquisition and foster academic success. Andrea's book, "Take Me Home," serves as a beacon, guiding educators in their quest to provide the best possible educational experiences for ELLs. Join us in this illuminating conversation as we uncover strategies, share experiences, and empower educators to make a profound impact on the lives of English Language Learners.

(5.8.17) No school leader is immune to the effects of discrimination, bad politics, revenge, or ego-driven coworkers. In this episode, authors Rebecca Coda and Rick Jetter share how they equip school leaders with the practical knowledge and emotional tools necessary to survive and, better yet, avoid getting "dunked."

Kristina chats with Rick Jetter, co-author of the book, Let Them Speak!, and co-founder of Pushing Boundaries about student voice, one of the “new,” “cool” terms in education. Student voice isn’t really “new,” and shouldn’t be viewed as just a “cool” buzzword, he notes. Really, Jetter says, student voice is about partnerships with students and asking them what they think about lessons, programs, or initiatives. Jetter has been collecting student narratives for years, and these narratives have become a pathway for really hearing student voices. When shared with boards of education, for example, it can lead to real-world changes in education policy, such as with anti-bullying programs. Pendergast in Arizona had created a true student discourse, and it’s making a real difference, he says. Educators work with staff all the time, so why don’t we also bring in students when making decisions, he asks, adding that such inclusion “is not treason.” The bottom line, he says, is that student voice activates happiness, which, in turn, can result in education excellence. Jetter’s final piece of advice: Activate student voice by doing one thing tomorrow to create a better partnership with kids, and don’t postpone because the calendar says “wait.” This episode was sponsored by NWEA, www.nwea.org and Better Lesson, https://betterlesson.com.

Starting Over, Starting Fresh…or Getting Started A Conversation with Dr. Rick Jetter Ever thought, “Boy, I’d sure like to tell that superintendent a few things about the real world…The world inside the walls of my classroom.” Ever been a district leader and thought, “Hmmm…wonder what teachers are thinking about these policies we’ve cooked up?”   Dr. Rick Jetter can see both sides of things pretty clearly.  He used to be a superintendent.  Now he’s a classroom teacher.  He’s loving the experience, but boy, is he tired.  His world view from being in both worlds is a starting over story that brings wisdom, guidance, and laughs.  He shares advice to superintendents everywhere about NOT putting more on teachers’ plates.  And has some pearls for teachers about decluttering…let’s just say that Rick did not win the door decorating contest this school year.   This leadership author and expert on student voice is a straightforward treasure in our world with a lot of “stuff.”   • Rick’s AMAZING free resources on MyEdExpert • Rick’s website • Rick’s Twitter Page  

How’s This School Thing Working for Our Kids? Let Them Speak:  A Conversation with Dr. Rick Jetter Get inspired by Dr. Rick Jetter’s approach to seeking out student voices about how school is working out for them.  This self-described “Boundary Pusher” talks about going out on their “turf” and asking students about just about everything, from programs to procedures at school.  He shares some surprising turns in his quest to hear his “customers” opinions.  Risky business, right? But its ok – Dr. Jetter makes the process seem SO doable.  Especially for the podcast:  Rick and his coauthor Rebecca Coda have created a FABULOUS open download to accompany their work and new book, Let Them Speak. It’s called “Let Them Speak:  A 100 Ideas for Activating Student Voice.”  Link to his bio and downloads: https://myedexpert.com/vendor/rjetter/ To reach Dr. Rick Jetter: Twitter @rickjetter  Website: www.rickjetter.com

Businesses have learned that to thrive and improve, they urgently need commentary from their clientele.  But how often do we ask our clients - our students - their opinions about their school experiences?  Rebecca Coda and Dr. Rick Jetter, coauthors of Let Them Speak! How Student Voice Can Transform Your School, are on a mission to change the conversational dynamic in schools.  The authors take us way beyond surveys.  They venture out onto students’ turf and gather vignettes about school experiences.  What they glean from kids is then used to engage the adults in the building to develop solutions and strengthen the school. Join in this inspired conversation that totally shifts the dynamic of the school house!  Seriously fabulous resources these two have posted:  • Rebecca: Grab those grab tags! • Rick: Get his 100 Ideas to Activate Student Voice • Link to their website • Rebecca’s Twitter • Rick’s Twitter

How’s This School Thing Working for Our Kids? Let Them Speak:  A Conversation with Dr. Rick Jetter Get inspired by Dr. Rick Jetter’s approach to seeking out student voices about how school is working out for them.  This self-described “Boundary Pusher” talks about going out on their “turf” and asking students about just about everything, from programs to procedures at school.  He shares some surprising turns in his quest to hear his “customers” opinions.  Risky business, right? But its ok – Dr. Jetter makes the process seem SO doable.  Especially for the podcast:  Rick and his coauthor Rebecca Coda have created a FABULOUS open download to accompany their work and new book, Let Them Speak. It’s called “Let Them Speak:  A 100 Ideas for Activating Student Voice.”  Link to his bio and downloads: https://myedexpert.com/vendor/rjetter/ To reach Dr. Rick Jetter: Twitter @rickjetter  Website: www.rickjetter.com

In this podcast Kelly interviews authors Rebecca Coda & Rick Jetter about their hot new book Dunk Tank. The official title of their book is: Escaping the School Leader's Dunk Tank: How to Prevail When Others Want to See you Drown. Both Rick & Rebecca are educational disruptors and forward thinkers with a passion to support ALL current & ALL future educational leaders (PK-20). Their mission and vision is simple: We must break the glass ceiling to eliminate the status quo to ensure equity for ALL students. Rebecca and Rick have both faced adversity in their careers and are willing to do whatever it takes to call out ALL the “elephants” in the educational room so that educators, political leaders, and industry innovators can leverage talent and work together to best serve kids. About the book:  Have you ever felt as if a supervisor, coworker, or even your own school board was trying to sabotage you?  No school leader is immune to the effects of discrimination, bad politics, revenge, or ego-driven coworkers. If you've ever worked in such conditions, you know that adversaries can make your job as a school leader miserable. But even if you're lucky enough to be thriving in your current role, you've probably seen leaders whose careers have been tanked by difficult and demanding circumstances. You may even wonder from time to time, "Am I next?"  In Escaping the School Leader's Dunk Tank, Rebecca Coda and Rick Jetter interviewed superintendents, principals, and other educational leaders across the nation who have faced "dunk tank" situations. Through real-life stories and by sharing insightful research, the authors (who are dunk tank survivors themselves) equip school leaders with the practical knowledge and emotional tools necessary to survive and, better yet, avoid getting "dunked."
