And how it can help you with affirming studentsAfter planning all summer and getting things ready, we know you are eager to start teaching the curriculum when the first day of school finally arrives. And while it's great to review concepts from last year, that's not the most important aspect at the beginning of school. You've heard us use the acronym ATTA BOY to describe your back-to-school goals, but in today's episode, we're sharing why affirming students is your most important goal for back-to-school.Once we thought about it, we realized that affirming students in the beginning is key to success with the other three goals of training, teaching, and assessing. Building connections with students and creating a safe space for them to learn and grow, impacts their learning, engagement, and behavior. Additionally, we give ideas on how to effectively implement affirming students in your classroom.It's normal to want to jump right into learning content right at the beginning, but your students' learning will be more effective if you start with the affirming goal. So while you're still planning this summer, don't forget to include some plans on ways for affirming students.Resources mentioned:Get your tickets to Educate & RejuvenateEducate & Rejuvenate: A Three-Step Guide to Revitalize Your Teaching, Renew Your Spirit, and Reignite Your Passion For Life First Name Basis Podcast@firstname.basis InstagramNamponsConnect with Heidi & Emily:Teacher Summer Talks Audio SummitConnect with us on Instagram @2ndstorywindowShop our teacher-approved resourcesJoin our Facebook group, Teacher ApprovedConnect with Kelsey:Follow her on Instagram @educateandrejuvenateJoin our Facebook group: Wife Teacher Mommies Unite.Follow on Pinterest for more helpful...

Have you ever thought about co-hosting a podcast? It can definitely make the experience of creating a podcast even more fun (and a little less lonely). But how does that even work? What does the recording setup look like? How do you structure the show? Or split the episode planning? Today I have two guests on the show to help answer these questions and share their experiences as podcast co-hosts. Not only are Heidi and Emily co-hosts of the Teacher Approved podcast, but they're also the founders of Second Story Window. Oh yeah, and they're sisters! Heidi and Emily are also clients of mine, and it's been so much fun to be a part of their podcasting journey. In this episode, Heidi and Emily share what it's like to co-host a podcast, what made them want to co-host versus doing solo shows, why they even decided to start one in the first place, and some challenges they've faced along the way. They also give us insight into their planning process and how they prepare for their recordings. This was such a fun conversation, and I cannot wait for you to hear all about co-hosting a podcast with Heidi and Emily.

This episode is coming from the Teacher Approved podcast, co-hosted by Heidi & Emily, who share research-based and teacher approved strategies that make your teaching more efficient and effective. The episode they're sharing with me on today's show is on how to be a parent-friendly teacher. As teachers, you know that parents are your biggest allies. Having parents on your side during the school year helps make your year run smoothly when it comes to behavior issues, volunteer opportunities, and so much more. Throughout the episode, Heidi & Emily discuss what being a parent-friendly teacher means and a common misconception teachers have in being a parent-friendly teacher. In order to achieve that goal, they've come up with 6 tips that will help you become a parent-friendly teacher. To gain further understanding, Heidi & Emily explain each tip, share how to achieve them, and provide real-life examples.Show Notes: https://theliteracydive.com/episode112Resources Mentioned:Join the Writing Made Simple MembershipCheck out Second Story Window's Homework ResourcesConnect with me: Check out my TpT StoreSubscribe to my E-mail listInstagram PostsBlog PostsFacebook PostsIf you are enjoying The Literacy Dive Podcast, please follow, leave a rating, and a helpful review!
