Welcome to the last edition of Saturday Morning Teacher Talk for 2023 and the indefinite future. I've enjoyed doing these mini-episodes but will be changing up my content format in 2024. Education X Posts Featured in This Episode: Teacher2Teacher asks: How do we let our students know their work is amazing? Joelie McCrary urges teachers to display student learning as much as possible. Tony Vincent shares a fun Friday entry: Quick Draw (found at quickdraw.withgoogle.com). Sketch a given word and see if the AI can guess your word based on your drawing. Tyler Rablin observes that students are more willing to take risks in their writing pieces or project designs when we de-emphasize grading. Trevor MacKenzie promises that co-designing learning experiences with and for students can be powerful stuff if only we can embrace our vulnerabilities and check our egos at the door. Pav Wander says that keeping a space at the back of her classroom for alternate seating has been very freeing and comfortable for her students (with picture). Stephanie Barrientos asks how we can better support student learning needs without burning out teachers. Susan Jachymiak says that sometimes teachers just need a reminder that we are all doing our best and we are doing enough. Tyler Rablin points out that when students use AI to complete an assignment, they are manifesting the belief that good grades are the ultimate goal - not learning. I sign off and thank my faithful viewers and listeners for tuning into this show throughout 2023. These weekly editions of Saturday Morning Teacher Talk will not continue in 2024, but you'll hear from me on the Teachers on Fire podcast interviews which will continue to air here.

Welcome to Saturday Morning Teacher Talk, airing LIVE on YouTube every Saturday morning at 8:30 Pacific and 11:30 Eastern! Join the conversation and add your comments to the broadcast. Education X Posts Featured in This Episode: Emily asks: Do you provide time for students to reflect on their learning after a lesson or unit? If so, what strategies do you use? I look at some responses. I recall a George Couros suggestion about giving educators time to write and blog about their professional learning. Susan Jachymiak shouts out the Unsupervised Leadership podcast, so I take a quick look at the work they're doing on their website. Dr. Josh Kunnath decries the practice of using grades to penalize students for behavior, attendance, or missing assignments. We're no longer assessing learning in those cases. Natalie Vardabasso encourages educators to use accommodations to uncover student strengths despite deficits. Jeremy Jorgensen reminds us to integrate student writing into everything we do. If students can write well, they can think well. Jeremy also points to the power of walking as a reflective act. Walking = medicine. Chey Cheney points out that students are not robotic rule-following practitioners: we learn, we observe, we implement, refine, and tweak according to the unique needs of our learners and their environment.

First year fourth grade teacher Susan Jachymiak shares stories about her experiences as she reflects on the beginning of her career. She shares her blog and the blogs of others as a way to reflect and a way to look back and reflect more in the future. Susan, Josh, and Mandy discuss how she wanted to be a fourth grade teacher in fourth grade and now she is. It's come full circle when her own student says she wants to be a teacher too.
4th grade math teacher, Susan Jachymiak, chats with us about her passion for growth mindset, reflecting to find what works best for her students, and the challenges she's overcome as a 1st year teacher. Susan talks about why it's important to be willing to try new things and adjust on the fly, and why being connected to other educators is so important.

Starting our first ever full time teaching position is at the heart of this conversation. And, although we live in two different countries, Susan and I are living so many similar things. We expressed our first year jitters, goals and things we are most looking forward to. We also covered how building our PLN’s have helped us grow as new educators in the field. Susan has been a leader for new teacher on Twitter and has even begun her own hashtag, the #NewTeacherJourney … She has a heart of gold and will do anything to put her students needs first.
Susan Jachymiak will be beginning her first year with her own classroom this coming August. With her passion and enthusiasm for education, this future educator and founder of #newteacherjourney Twitter chat is set to make an incredible impact in the world of education.
