Welcome to Half Time Scholars. In this episode, we explore the reality of Indigenous education in northern Chile, where high rates of teacher turnover have disrupted the learning process for Indigenous students. Drawing from a qualitative study, we examine the skills and knowledge teachers need to succeed in rural, isolated Indigenous schools. Dr. Angela Baeza Peña, a lecturer at the Carumba Institute at Queensland University of Technology and a member of the Diaguita First Nation, leads the conversation. Her PhD research delved into the lived experiences of non-Indigenous teachers and the perspectives of Indigenous community members, revealing a gap between formal education and students' real-life experiences. By addressing the challenges teachers face in remote areas, Angela's work highlights the importance of culturally responsive practices and better teacher preparation to improve the quality of education for Indigenous students. This episode will shed light on the key factors influencing teacher experiences in rural Chile and offer insights into the broader implications for Indigenous education globally.

Most of Idaho's educators are trained at our state's institutions of higher education. And as the role of educator has evolved, so too have the institutions that prepare them. Dr. Brooke Blevins, Dean of the University of Idaho's College of Education joins Superintendent Critchfield to talk about what teacher prep looks like in Idaho today. 

As Vice Provost of Teacher Preparation and Founding Dean of Relay Connecticut, Dr. Good believes that empowering teachers with a rigorous curriculum of practical application, theory, and educational pedagogy grounded in culturally responsive teaching, can have a dynamic impact on PK-12 students. An award-winning educator, Dr. Good started her career as a secondary language arts teacher in the Miami-Dade County Public School district, as a charter corps member of Teach For America.

Welcome aboard the Hot Mess Teacher Express, today we're spinning the wheel of teacher types, and will be learning how different educators teach. Your beloved host, Jess Smith, will help you navigate the educational jungle, one eccentric teacher at a time. We start with the grizzled veterans of the education world. Those seasoned pros who've weathered enough school years to have their prep routine down to a science. Their tales of survival and triumph will leave you in awe, and possibly feeling a little terrified. Then there's the first-year teachers, who are as easy to spot on their first day as a flamingo in a flock of pigeons. Adorable, aren't they? You won't believe the stories we've collected about these 'rookies' on their inaugural educational voyage. Next up, meet the 'worst-case scenario' teachers. You know the ones - they've thought of every possible catastrophe, from alien invasions to zombie apocalypses, that could hit their classroom. Bless their over-prepared hearts! Can't forget about the teachers who are still in denial that the school year is about to start. Spot them on the beach, clinging to their surfboards while they should be setting up their classrooms. We all know a few, don't we? And last, but certainly not least, meet the 'good enough' teacher. They've mastered the balancing act, the art of doing just enough to get by, and honestly, they're thriving! So grab a cup of coffee (or something stronger, we won't tell), and join us for a laugh-out-loud deep-dive into the wonderfully diverse world of educators. Trust us, you're in for a treat! Choo!

California's high school class of 2030 will be the first statewide cohort in the nation required to pass an ethnic studies course in order to graduate. Although this groundbreaking step stands in sharp contrast to the banning and censorship efforts taking place in states like Florida, California's ethnic studies mandate is not without its critics and detractors. This week we sit with Dr. Theresa Montaño and Lupe Cardona to explore the promise and the pushback around offering ethnic studies at every high school in the state. Dr. Montaño is a professor of Equity and Diversity in Schools and Chicano Education at California State University Northridge and sits on the CSU Council of Ethnic Studies. Guadalupe Cardona is a veteran ethnic studies teacher who serves as chair of the Association of Raza Educators (LA) and is a member of the Ethnic Studies Now Coalition. Before our discussion, Jeff and Manuel first take a look at recent headlines in education including a surprising boost in enrollment at California's most controversial community college and a renewed push to ban Native American-themed mascots in schools. → Get your Teach the Truth T-Shirt here! → View this episode on YouTube!

GDP Script/ Top Stories for Tuesday May 16th Publish Date: May 15th, Monday From the Henssler Financial Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast Today is Tuesday May 16th , and happy 69th birthday to “007” Pierce Brosnan ***Bond****   I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Peggy Slappey Properties Professional Standards Commission dumping ‘diversity' from teacher preparation rules Players Guild at Sugar Hill announces 2023-24 season And Lola Chiza is set to be the seventh — and final — sibling to graduate from Central Gwinnett   We'll have all this and more on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.  Commercial  Slappey   Story 1. Standards   The Georgia Professional Standards Commission unanimously voted to remove the words "diversity," "equity," and "inclusion" from the state's educator preparation rules, despite opposition from students, educators, and parents. The University System of Georgia requested the removal to clarify expectations for educator preparation programs. Critics argue that this decision, similar to the divisive concept law, will harm teacher preparation and worsen the state's teacher shortage. They believe diversity is essential to effective teaching and that removing it from teacher education will discourage future educators. Despite receiving numerous emails opposing the change, the commission maintains that their intent is to meet the needs of all students. Critics argue that words reflect intent and removing these terms has consequences.   STORY 2:  Players   The Player's Guild at Sugar Hill is gearing up for its 10th anniversary season with a lineup of classic titles. Following the success of their first-ever musical, "Guys and Dolls," the guild announces its upcoming 2023-24 season, featuring three plays and one musical. The season kicks off with "Steel Magnolias," a timeless comedy-drama set in a beauty salon in Louisiana. Next, for the holidays, they will present "It's a Wonderful Life," a live adaptation of the beloved film. In February, the guild will stage "The Diary of Anne Frank," a powerful drama capturing the lives of those hiding from the Nazis. The season concludes with "The Wedding Singer," a musical that takes the audience back to the '80s. The guild aims to provide audiences with wonderful nights at the theatre and expresses gratitude to the community for their support throughout the last decade.   Story 3: Chiza   Lola Chiza is set to graduate from Central Gwinnett High School, marking the seventh sibling from her family to do so. Her family's history is one of resilience and dedication to education. Lola's parents emigrated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and her siblings have gone on to pursue successful careers and college education. As the youngest, Lola feels the pressure to match the success of her siblings but also cherishes the shared experience of graduating from the same school. Her brother Glorie, who worked in the Obama White House, sees Lola's graduation as a fulfillment of their parents' dream for their children's education. The Chiza siblings have achieved notable accomplishments in various fields, from data engineering to school administration and consulting…..back in a moment   Commercial  M.O.G. Updated Commercial  Tom Wages - then Obits         STORY 4:Kaplan   Sam Kaplan, a Lawrenceville resident, defied expectations by graduating from Georgia Gwinnett College at the age of 72. After retiring in 2013, Kaplan decided to pursue a degree in cinema and media arts. Despite initially finding the idea inconceivable, he enrolled in college and excelled academically, graduating with a 3.975 GPA and summa cum laude honors. Kaplan's decision to go back to college was sparked by a radio commercial he heard about GGC's cinema and media arts program. Now equipped with his degree, Kaplan aspires to become a screenwriter, utilizing his passion for storytelling. His 98-year-old mother, Virginia Kaplan, believes in his success and eagerly awaits his future endeavors in the film industry.   Story 5: Art winners   U.S. Rep. Lucy McBath has announced the winners of the 2023 7th Congressional District Art Competition. The competition received 43 art submissions from 31 students representing seven high schools in the district. Madeline Soh from Northview High School secured first place, followed by Ranier Diaz from South Gwinnett High School in second place, and Rabiatou Ndiaye from Norcross High School in third place. Soh's artwork will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol, while Diaz's and Ndiaye's works will be displayed in McBath's offices in Washington D.C. and Duluth, respectively. McBath expressed gratitude to the students, parents, and teachers involved and congratulated all the participants for their outstanding contributions…..we'll be right back   Commercial: ESOG 60 -Ingles 5   Story 6: G.A.C track   Despite having fewer state qualifiers than in previous years, Greater Atlanta Christian's girls track and field team continued their tradition of excellence by winning the Class AAAAA state championship. This victory marked their fifth title in the last seven state meets and their eighth overall. Led by senior athletes Nia Wilson and Morgan Collins, the Spartans showcased outstanding performances in various events. Wilson won the 100-meter race and was the runner-up in the 200 meters, while Collins secured the state championship in the 800 meters. The team's collective effort, including victories and top placements in several events, contributed to their success. The depth and competitiveness of the 5A class made the win even more remarkable. Meanwhile, the GAC boys' team achieved a respectable sixth-place finish in the state meet.   Story 7: Tennis   Greater Atlanta Christian's boys tennis team claimed their eighth state championship by defeating Chattahoochee 3-0 in the finals. This victory marked their first boys title since 2015 and their first in Class AAAAA after moving up from AAA. The Spartans had a strong and fairly young team that performed admirably under the pressure of the state championship. They had previously lost to Chattahoochee during the regular season but managed to defeat them in the region tournament. GAC dominated the state bracket, not conceding a single point in their victories leading up to the finals. The championship match saw impressive performances from players like Jack Morrison, Ayaan Valiani, Harrison Kemp, and Jason Kim, who secured the clinching point. It was a closely contested match, and GAC emerged victorious with a 3-0 score.   Story 8: Heat   The Gwinnett Heat, Gwinnett County Public Schools' Adapted Sports team, clinched the junior varsity state championship in wheelchair football with a thrilling 26-23 victory over the Houston County Junior Sharks. After a tied score in the first overtime, the Heat's Jeremiah Hopson delivered a touchdown pass to Randall Montanez, forcing a second extra period. In double overtime, Hopson sealed the win with a game-winning field goal. The victory marked the team's third state championship of the year, following victories in wheelchair handball and wheelchair basketball. The Heat remained unbeaten with a perfect 21-0 record across all three sports. The program is open to students from first grade to 12th grade with physical disabilities.

Not many student teachers want to sign up for residency programs, because the stipends are small, or nonexistent.

As parents, we want to trust that our school and state are using evidence-based practices for the teaching of reading. But despite growing research on the topic, educators across our country simply don't agree on which approach is best.Today's guest can comment on this from both angles - as a mom and as the state literacy director of Mississippi- a state that continues to see amazing gains in reading achievement. We are so honored to be in conversation with Kristen Wynn.More on Kristen:Kristen Wynn's service in the field of education spans 15+ years.

From the outside, it may seem that all is well. But on the inside, it may feel like you have a Kodiak Bear breathing down your neck ready to pounce. Now imagine you're a student trying to learn Algebra or Adverbs under those conditions. That's the reality that more and more of our kids face today as the CDC says that Trauma is the most significant health crisis in today's youth. Todd Finley is a Professor at East Carolina University who specializes in preparing teachers to connect with students under duress and how they can unlock the charisma they need to shine in today's classroom. Todd also chatted with Jordan and Anna on Equity in Teacher Preparation, role-playing to master classroom management, PD best practices, brain-based teaching, what it takes to succeed at different grade levels, what PLCs are really meant for, and how to rebound from classroom horror stories.

Students from low-income families are more likely to have uncredentialed teachers than students from wealthier households.

On the one-year anniversary of Education Beat, we take a moment to look back at the year's episodes.

Jessica  Dooley is a senior majoring in WL&C with a concentration in French for Teacher Preparation. She shares her thoughts with LLChat host, Alexis Osipovs, on using such powerful learning tools as TalkAbroad and e-Portfolios.  The TalkAbroad platform provides students from the Department of World Languages and Cultures with the unique opportunity to converse with native speakers from around the world. Each conversation practice takes place directly on the TalkAbroad website where students' real-time conversations are recorded. These telecollaborative conversations are becoming a standard practice for our students and faculty. 

As the United States continues to rethink teacher preparation, New Graduate Schools of Education (NGSEs) are becoming increasingly common. One of these schools is the High Tech High GSE located in San Diego, CA. Dr. Sarah Fine and Carol Battle are doing the important work of preparing teachers through HTHGSE's San Diego Teacher Residency and cultivating the critical community relationships that make the program a beacon for the rest of the country. Plugs include the Alder GSE, Sposato GSE, The Spirit of Our Work by Cynthia Dillard, and the HTHGSE Deeper Learning Conference. Music by Ketsa.

At Eagle Rock School & Professional Development Center in Estes Park, CO, teacher preparation is a critical element of the school's mission and work. Director of Professional Development Sarah Bertucci oversees this program in partnership with national non-profit Public Allies. Each year, Eagle Rock brings on a new cohort of fellows who can earn their Colorado teaching license through the school's alternative licensure program. In this episode we talk with Sarah about the program's mission, goals, and approach. Plugs include the Teacher Powered Schools Conference, What School Could Be, Cultivating Genius by Gholdy Muhammad, and Open Way Learning. Music by Ketsa.

Teach for America (TFA) was founded in 1990 to address underachievement in American schools. Since this time, TFA has become a lightning rod for positive and negative commentary about how to address change in schools and how to prepare teachers to meet the needs of students. In this conversation, we chat with Eric Sarb and Andy Alcaraz, two TFA alumni. They highlight their experiences in the corps and we reflect on what these experiences could mean for the future of teacher preparation. Plugs include What Strange Paradise by Omar El Akhad, All About Love by bell hooks, Deep Work by Cal Newport, The Descendants, and the BIPOC TFA experience account on Instagram. Music by Ketsa.

The vast majority of teachers experience their preparation programs at a tradition university under the guidance of a dedicated group of Faculty. Dr. Carol Watson is one of the Faculty members at Kutztown University. Dr. Watson talks with us about her approach to preparation programming, some of the experiences she shares with her students, and the research that underpins this approach.

Here's are some of our pre-series thoughts to give you an idea of what's to come in this insightful series. Music by Ketsa.

The landscape of the educational system is continuously changing-- and particularly so right now. Across the country, there is a struggle to fill the demand for teaching positions in high-need areas. As today's guest puts it, it's calling us to unthink and rethink teacher preparation programs. In this episode, Dr. Sarah Miller, Director of Partnership and Student Services for TeacherReady, joins us to discuss the impact of alternative teacher credentialing and what she and the TeacherReady team has learned is creating access for a diverse range of candidates. Dr. Janet Pilcher and Dr. Miller will present on this topic at this year's Carnegie Summit 2022. Listen now to hear the conversation as well as more about their upcoming presentation. This episode addresses questions, such as:How does feedback fuel the achievement of excellence? What can leaders in the field of education learn from other fields?Why is unlearning more important than intelligence?Recommended Resources:  Use Standards of Service Excellence,  Exceed With Delight, Feedback That Inspires, & Feedback is a Gift...

We discuss how California school districts are working to prepare and retain more Black teachers, and a Black teacher shares his experience.

Brent Maddin talks with Dr. John B. King, Jr., former U.S. Secretary of Education, and president and CEO of the Education Trust, an education civil rights organization focusing on education equity for low-income students and students of color, about equity and the education workforce today. 2:48: Dr. King describes how his perspective has been influenced by his experiences as a student, as a classroom teacher and as a civil servant and policymaker. “The thing that saved me was school. The consistency, the nurturing relationships, the engagement at school is the reason I'm alive today.” He goes on to describe the enormous tasks that are assigned to educators and the lack of support systems to help teachers achieve everything society asks of them. “We don't always provide the working conditions that folks need to stay in the work and feel good about the work, so we have work to do as a society.” 5:09: Dr. King sees how the pandemic has affected students and the inequities it's revealed. He hopes that this moment in time will be a “New Deal” moment, bringing major systemic change to the field of education and opening the eyes of society to the importance of investing in education for all students. 6:19: Dr. King details the work going on in his state of Maryland around the concept of “schools as communities.” The idea is that schools are already involved with so many different agencies like healthcare, social services, and the criminal justice system. 7:57: Dr. King gives examples of teams that are designed to address student needs as a group instead of relying on one classroom teacher. 11:15: Dr. King offers suggestions on how to broaden the definition of an educator by looking at the work of our international peers who have found ways to subsidize their work to improve outcomes. Diversify the teaching profession by creatively including people in positions that are not always in the spotlight like tutors, coaches, behavior specialists, etc. 14:07: Dr. King looks at healthcare as a model that takes a holistic approach to care for patients by assembling a team of specialists to serve them. Healthcare also offers an enormous range of career pathways to support the interests of healthcare professionals. 19:03: Dr. King believes in the importance of social and emotional well-being as part of overall student success and shares his perspective as it relates to outcomes being more than just reading and math scores. “We have to be careful In our desire to be metric-driven that we don't mistakenly narrow how we think about the purpose of education.” 22:16: Dr. King shares his experience as a new teacher and some of the creative ways he had to figure things out. He also shares a strategy that one local program initiated to help their teachers better understand the students, assigning new teachers to community groups prior to student teaching. This allowed the teachers to get to know their students and their families as a whole before they worked with them in the classroom. What Dr. King is currently reading: Pregnant Girl: A Story of Teen Motherhood, College, and Creating a Better Future for Young Families by Nicole Lynn LewisShare this episode with #NextEducationWorkforce.

In this episode, we talk to Ms. Gynger Garcia, the education liaison for Breakthrough in Chicago. She shares the number of Breakthrough's programs and services developed, particularly the partnership with higher education for teacher preparation. Garcia also discusses the value of asset-based cultural awareness to prepare educators for the classroom.

One of the ideas for getting more teachers of color into the classroom has been to look at fast-track alternative teacher preparation programs such as Teach for America. These kinds of programs are usually based on the spaghetti model: Throw enough spaghetti on the wall and some of it will stick. In other words - throw a bunch of low-paid, poorly prepared teachers into the classroom and some will eventually stick around, making it to a second year.Let me ask you this: Would you go to a fast-track dentist? What about a dentist who was part of a Dentists for America program? Most would say no. We expect a certain level of training and expertise from those in whom we entrust with the care of our teeth. Why would we think it appropriate to expect anything less of those who we entrust with the care and education of our children?

In this episode, we talk to Dr. Tom Phillion about his work in reimagining teacher preparation through university-district partnerships. Dr. Phillion discusses the development of programs to address the teacher shortage, particularly the shortage in teacher diversity.  We also ask for practical, tangible strategies for starting partnership conversations.
