Podcasts about science teachers

This week, we're honored to host three exceptional EVSC educators who were recently named Vanderburgh County Educators of the Year on the EVSC Podcast:-Brittney Brown, Principal at Evans School (Principal of the Year)-Krista Fleming, Science Teacher at North High School (High School Teacher of the Year)-Stephanie Ritchie, ELA Teacher at Thompkins Middle School (Middle School Teacher of the Year)With over 65 combined years of classroom experience, these educators share their journeys, what motivates them daily, and why building meaningful relationships with students is the cornerstone of effective teaching.

I was recently reading the May - June 2025 issue of “The Science Teacher”, a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the section, “Editor's Corner” written by Brooke A. Whitworth.  She wrote an article entitled, “‘Fostering Innovation, Creativity, and Curiosity in Science Education.” In this article, Brooke shared many practical strategies that teachers can implement immediately, regardless of resources, in the areas of: Community-Connected Science Resource-Conscious Innovation Curiosity-Driven Learning

I was recently reading the March - April 2025 issue of “The Science Teacher”, a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the section, “Right to the Source,” written by Jessica Fries-Gaither  She wrote an article entitled, “‘The 1900 Christmas Bird Census: Introducing a New Annual Tradition and Citizen Science Project. This “historical” podcast provides an entry point for students in the Christmas Bird Count's history and current applications in ornithology.  Students use data from the Count's history to help construct their scientific understanding.

Hello out there Sandwich Artists! Quick announcement here from Amanda at Poirot Pod. We are delighted to see that people are still following us after our long hiatus! We wanted to let you know the book we are reading next is“They Came to Baghdad,” in case you want to read it along with us before we release that episode,  which we anticipate to be somewhere between 3 and 53 weeks from now.  (I just started it and am really enjoying it! ) Shout out to the request for the next book announcement from Selçuk in 2023. You ask, and 2 years later, PoirotPod, sort of, delivers. We do hope to remember to announce the next book at the end of each episode as well as remember to complete the Portia scale, but no promises, as you see how minimally functional we have become in the middle of the night recording these days. Relatedly, you'll be able to rely on continued butchered pronunciation, Selçuk, which I do hope I'm not doing terribly badly at this moment to your name. Special sandwich artist shout out to Trey, Selçuk, Alejandro, Chawna, Kat, Science Teacher, Aisha, and the various scammy porn bot accounts that have reached out to our email. We diligently check that account every 9 to 24 months, and are legit so happy to see your emails! Side note, I am desperately missing the original royalty free intro music we used, so if anyone out there is fluent in Riverside, which is the new app where the corporate monsters have moved us to these days, and knows how to fix it, please let us know! Yours in crime, PoirotPod! 

Navigating the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be! In this episode, I break down the three pillars of NGSS as I see them. I also share what I love about NGSS, where I think it falls short, and practical strategies to help you implement it in a way that works for you and your students. Whether you're new to NGSS or looking to refine your approach (or even if you aren't in an NGSS state!), this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to make small, impactful changes in your science classroom. ➡️ Show Notes: https://itsnotrocketscienceclassroom.com/episode177Resources Mentioned:Human Impact Sustainability Project: An Investigation of Carbon Footprints All INRS units that come with NGSS Alignment Guides Lessons Mini-CourseDownload your FREE Classroom Reset Challenge.Send me a DM on Instagram: @its.not.rocket.scienceSend me an email: rebecca@itsnotrocketscienceclassroom.com  Follow, rate, and review on Apple Podcasts.Related Episodes;Episode 158, How to Not Feel Like You Are Teaching to the TestEpisode 147, Content Coverage - How to Get Through All of the StandardsEpisode 116, Behind Schedule?

Late last year, the 2024 recipients of the Prime Minister's Prizes for Excellence in Science Teaching were announced. The national Prizes recognise and celebrate the role primary and secondary educators play in inspiring and encouraging students to take up an interest and consider careers in STEM. So for this episode of School Improvement, we had the pleasure of speaking with Alice Leung from Concord High School in New South Wales and Daniel Edwards from Montello Primary School in Tasmania about the work they've been recognised for with this Prize. If Daniel Edwards' name sounds familiar to you, it might be because we spoke with Daniel early last year all about the value of teaching STEM as a subject. Our conversation with Daniel shares some other great insights, such as some favourite learning activities to run in the classroom. We also asked Alice to share some of her favourite lesson activities, and we're sure they might be ones you might like to consider working into your lesson planning this year if you're a secondary science teacher.

Send us a textPaul has been a dedicated public educator for over 24 years. His goal is to blend the love for education with a passion about finances to help lay out a strategic plan to assist teachers with their retirement goals.  Many financial advisors and supplemental retirement plans have both outrageously high fees mixed with limited knowledge about Ohio (or other state) pension plans. Paul believes that teachers deserve fair, specific and detailed assistance from someone who understands the profession. Listen in as Paul shares his journey from investing as a teen to now assisting his district with low cost investing options like Vanguard for his teachers.  In addition, Paul is speaking to prospective teachers at local colleges and sharing financial independence so they don't make the mistakes that most of us made starting out! CONTACT PAUL: https://www.gwteachers.com/Intelligent Investment Today - The Warren Buffett WayINTELLIGENT INVESTMENT TODAY, a Shortcast "mini-podcast" series each around ten...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify

This week is our brand new 7th grade Science Teacher.  He just might be the kindest man in the world!

Guest: Elizabeth Vosseller, Founder of Growing Kids Therapy Center and I-ASC   Host: Vaish Sarathy, Math and Science Teacher, Learning Strategist   This episode challenges the assumption that low cognitive skills in children with disabilities are due to a lack of intelligence. Instead, the conversation focuses on how motor skill limitations can significantly impact a child's ability to communicate and learn.  Elizabeth Vosseller is a speech therapist and founder of S2C (Spelling to Communicate). She talks to me this week about how Motor Issues Autism can seem like cognitive disorders.For  more details visit here. “What we observe often is the body. We can't really observe intelligence directly.” Tune in to listen to how powerful using motor-skills appropriately can be. Key Takeaways: Traditional assessments of intelligence often rely on motor skills, which can be misleading for children with motor difficulties. Speech itself is a fine motor skill, and difficulties with speech production can be a sign of underlying motor challenges. Sensory processing issues can further complicate motor skills and communication. Many children with disabilities, including Down syndrome and autism, experience difficulties with motor skills. The "least dangerous assumption" is to believe a child may be capable of more than they can currently demonstrate. Get In Touch: 

Even though you may love the science discipline you teach, that doesn't mean that you're excited to teach every topic, let alone your students enjoying everything you teach. Unfortunately, there are certain topics that are considered boring but still need to be taught! Knowing the topics that are deemed boring for you, how can you turn those around to be more engaging for everyone involved? In today's episode, I'm discussing two concerns when it comes to approaching less than thrilling content in your science disciplines, and what to do about it!➡️ Full Show Notes: https://itsnotrocketscienceclassroom.com/episode153Resources Mentioned:Lessons Mini-CourseCore Values Mini-CourseCulture Mini-CourseFree Anatomy of a Class Period Lesson PlanFree Lab AuditDownload your FREE Classroom Reset Challenge.Send me a DM on Instagram: @its.not.rocket.scienceSend me an email: rebecca@itsnotrocketscienceclassroom.com  Follow, rate, and review on Apple Podcasts.Related Episodes and Blog Posts:Episode 145, How to Build Resilience in Students Post-PandemicEpisode 78, Our LEAST Favorite Topics to Teach and How We Approach Them with Guest Sam Holcomb of Engineer Does EducationEpisode 6, Engaging Students in Lecture Episode 5, Engaging Your Students - Without Exhausting YourselfEpisode 4, Engaging Your Students - In the First 5 Minutes of ClassGrab my FREE Halloween science resources - specifically written for high school science teachers!

He couldn't look the kids in the eyes. He had a tremble in his voice. But he was a pretty decent teacher, and I always thought he was ok. Turns out I was wrong. A few years ago, Kielbowick was arrested on absolutely HORRIBLE, predatory charges, involving a minor female family member. I didn't even know this was illegal, but apparently he made cheese pizza with her. I dunno, maybe he used the wrong type of sauce or something. Anyway, I decided to dig down into this rabbithole and unlock a few mysteries about this story that always bugged me. Who was the family member? Were there any signs or red flags? Turns out, not only was there evidence in plain sight all along, but he had uploaded it himself to Youtube a year before his arrest. And after everything I've uncovered, I've formulated an even DARKER, SICKER theory, that makes an already horrifying story even worse.

Last weekend I had the immense privilege of watching nearly 40 athletes earn an OTQ marathon time at the McKirdy Micro Marathon. One of those athletes was Alex Burks. In one of the most insightful and powerful conversations we've ever had on this this, Alex describes the last four years in which he persevered through challenges, worked is butt off, fell short many times, and eventually earned his lofty goal of qualifying for the Olympic Trials. Below is the text from an Instagram post that Alex wrote after the experience that touches on the emotions of the day: "2:17:13 I don't know if there's an adequate way to put into words what today feels like and means to me. As I'm sure you all know by now I've taken several attempts at qualifying for the Olympic Trials, and have failed each time. [The day before the race], I woke up with a tight chest and fever. My 4 mile shakeout at 7:20 pace felt miserable. I called up my coach and we talked about other race options, but after that conversation was over, it was all business with still making the most out of race day. I've grown so accustomed to disappointment. I've considered giving up and throwing in the towel too many times in the past year and a half. However, and I genuinely don't think I can express this enough, I am beyond blessed to have SO MANY people in my life that continue to believe in me, support me, and give me the strength to carry on. [Raceday] was a test of belief in myself. I had the fitness to run an OTQ, I just needed to keep calm, and not let what was in between the ears be my downfall. And it wasn't. I don't think I changed pace by more than 2-3 seconds for every lap of the course. Even the last 3 miles I didn't even consider speeding up. "Just don't slow down, stay calm and patient". Then I crossed the line. Every time I failed, every time I felt not good enough, every time I considered giving up, it all washed away - and I cried. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love and appreciate you all. You make this worth it. You make this mean something. Never give up on that dream, ever." You can follow Alex at www.instagram.com/alexander.burks.

Trying new things is frightening. The fear of the unknown always looms in the background. But what if you finally realized that it's actually scarier to do nothing? I got to talk with Morgan Saied about how she turned a passion for science into a successful coloring book side hustle. Growing up, she navigated the world with ADD and dyslexia, never shying away from anything scary. Her hard work and determination paid off, becoming both a vet tech and a middle school teacher. But she still wanted to offer her students and fellow educators something more. Could she create something meaningful to help everyone learn? Here's how Morgan followed her gut—and the encouragement of enthusiastic 6th graders—to draw and sell science coloring books. Want to check out these educational coloring books? Search for Morgan Saied or Spunky Science on Amazon. You can also find her digital downloads on teacherspayteachers.com under her Spunky Science store.
