Podcasts about teachers

Teachers are burned out and continue to leave the profession in droves. One of the biggest challenges is that there's so much out of our control as educators that we struggle to cope. Even before COVID wreaked havoc on our world, there was little we could do to control what happened in our day-to-day lives. What if we just let go of what we can't control and instead focus on what is within our power? That's the mindset behind this week's podcast episode with Ryan Racine, author of The Stoic Teacher.    Ryan and I talk about planning ahead for adversity, letting go of those frustrating moments, looking at situations from an outside perspective, and gifting our children with these tools that will serve them well throughout life.   We'll never know a world where we can control everything. (And do we really want to?) It's time we take a step back and live and teach from a different perspective. About Ryan Racine: Ryan Racine is a high school teacher and college instructor from Canada. He earned his master's of English language and literature from Brock University and has published in magazines such as Modern Stoicism, PACE, The Ekphrastic Review, and University Affairs. His book, The Stoic Teacher: Ancient Mind Hacks to Help Educators Foster Resiliency, Optimism, and Inne Calm, focuses on how Stoic philosophy can help teachers deal with day-to-day stresses, manage classroom behavior better, and strive to become better teachers!  Jump in the Conversation: [1:39] - What is Stoicism [4:06] - How he got involved in Stoicism [7:35] - Lessons teachers can learn from ancient mind hacks [10:15] - Premeditating for adversity [11:52] - Reframing adversity for yourself  [12:57] - Work through self-imposed obstacles [15:45] - Taking a view from above  [18:30] - How to apply these concepts with students [22:15] - Explicitly teach Stoicism vs. informal conversations [24:29] - The importance of modeling with kids [28:15] - Turbo Time [29:32] - What Ryan brings to teaching [30:10] - Fun fact about Stoics [32:38] - Ryan's Magic Wand [34:23] - Maureen's Takeaways   Links & Resources The Stoic Teacher: Ancient Mind Hacks to Help Educators Foster Resiliency, Optimism, and Inner Calm by Ryan Racine Getting to Neutral Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Steven Covey Zen and the Art of Dealing with Difficult People by Mark Westmoquette Troublesome Buddhas YouTube Email Maureen Maureen's TEDx: Changing My Mind to Change Our Schools The Education Evolution Facebook: Follow Education Evolution Twitter: Follow Education Evolution LinkedIn: Follow Education Evolution EdActive Collective Maureen's book: Creating Micro-Schools for Colorful Mismatched Kids Micro-school feature on Good Morning America The Micro-School Coalition Facebook: The Micro-School Coalition LEADPrep

From 2020: Bob Enyart continues to air audio from last week from Greg Koulk, apologist president of Stand to Reason, who tragically denies, and thus defends, his moral relativism. Back in 2007 (see kgov.com/koukl) Greg encouraged Christians to support Republican candidates who are mass-murderers (by their open support for abortion). And still in 2020, he openly exhibits his own moral relativism as in his claim, though with clarification, that "some same sex couples are fabulous." And by that, he means, fabulous parents who we can support even in adopting children. Bob let Greg know that we planned to air and discuss his audio and Koukl did reply, but with the same defense he made years ago. "We report. You decide?" No. Actually, God decides. * BEL Resources on Moral Relativism: - 2020 Apologist Koukl Still Tragically Denies His Moral Relativism - 2020 Koukl BELs 7/21 (today's program) 7/29 8/3  - 2010 Personhood, Creation, the Law, and Moral Relativism - Suggest other BEL resources to us at Bob@kgov.com. Thanks! - 2007 Bob Debates Moral Relativist Greg Koukl - 2007 Focus on the Strategy 2 video... Today's Resource: Nicer Than God Enjoy this fast-paced critique of religion where Bob Enyart presents questions such as: When should a Christian lie? Should he ever mock? How about name-calling? Does sarcasm belong in the Christian's repertoire? How about ridicule? Learn why nice is not in the Bible and how to identify a Nicer-Than-God Christian. If Christians are not supposed to judge, then why does Jesus command us to judge rightly? And if only God will judge, then why does Paul say that we believers will judge the angels, and judge the world? If Jesus logged onto a website forum under a pseudonym, would we recognize Him, or condemn Him? This album communicates well Bob Enyart's unique style. But, warning, warning, warning, Will Robertson, it is not for the faint of heart.   * Separately, Koukl says Science Cannot be Certain of Anything: As a preview to our 2015 rsr.org/forensics program on historical science, in 2013 we published a brief KGOV article, Can Science Prove Anything Absolutely? As quoted there, Greg Koukl had written that science "cannot be certain about anything in an absolute sense. ...its method never allows certainty" and then apparently contradictorily, Greg stated, "science is not the only means of giving us true information..." Consider this excerpt: ...it is said that science cannot “prove” anything. We allege that in this vein, creationists have surrendered far too much to atheistic relativists. As a corollary, to this, we hear that science cannot prove anything but it can only disprove things. Sources: 1. A theory can "never [be] proven correct" on PBS.org; "can never be shown to be correct" at gsu.edu; 2. UCMP at the Berkeley department of paleontology. 3. A popular creationist homeschool textbook says, "Science cannot prove anything. The best science can say is that all known data support a given statement. …there is no way that science can prove anything." Wile & Durnell, Exploring Creation with Biology, 2nd Edition, 2005, p. 33; Science, "cannot be certain about anything in an absolute sense. ...its method never allows certainty" and then perhaps contradictorily, "science is not the only means of giving us true information..." Greg Koukl, Stand to Reason, 2013; "all scientific knowledge is tentative… nothing is final. There is no such thing as final proven knowledge in science" at psychologytoday.com. Scientific Absolutes: The claim that science cannot absolutely prove anything is related to the more extreme and easily falsified atheist claim that there is no truth. Yes, we Christians take the Scriptures as our highest authority. But millions of people lived prior to Moses and Job, and it is not as though they had no ability to know truth. (They could even know God, as a number of them did, and God is truth.) There are various ways of obtaining or possessing apodictic, or absolute, knowledge. Consider the common claim, as in this quote from Berkeley, that "a hypothesis cannot ever be proven, only disproven." Has that been proven? To disprove a hypothesis is to prove its negation. (A hypothesis: The reason that even very large array telescopes will never find the center of the universe is because the universe has no center. Falsification: A theoretical falsification is the growing redshift data that increasingly indicates that the universe does have a center. Disproving that hypothesis proves another: The universe has a center.)Absolutes vs. Omniscience: Knowing some things absolutely does not equate to knowing everything. Could it be that the especially extreme claim that science "cannot prove anything" is really just unintentional hyperbole? Those making such claims seem to confuse something with everything, and therefore confuse our ability to know some things absolutely with our inability to know everything. Some claim that the best that scientific investigation can do is to bring you closer to the truth (i.e., closer to understanding reality). However, if science doesn't know absolutely that: - light travels faster than sound, nor that - the solar surface is hotter than the lunar, nor that - electromagnetic opposites attract, if it were that much in the dark, then science could not bring anyone "closer" to anything. However, science does know these things absolutely. When some argue that science cannot tell us anything, it seems that what they really mean is that science cannot make us omniscient. If that's what they mean, though, then that is what they should say; for the overstatement we hear only serves to promote the relativism of materialism. Lacking omniscience does not prove the lack of all knowledge. RSR hopes that creationists will realize that they have been unnecessarily agreeing with atheists by making such an extreme claim. Real Science Radio has other disagreements with creationists on such assumptions, but for now we'll add one last observation, and then let these suffice as our first shot across the bow. :) We see the matter of historical vs. observational science as mostly a manufactured issue. We do not only make careful observations and do repeated experiments in the laboratory. Human beings live that same way. We cook, work, and read while making careful observations and performing inherent repeated experiments. In a dream, every time we read a book the words can change; in the waking world, we know that the words on our printed pages do not rearrange themselves into varying messages. That alone is a form of absolute scientific knowledge. If we didn't know that, we couldn't trust the words we read in a book, whether a dictionary or the Bible. Claiming that science can tell us nothing absolute is tantamount to saying that we can have no trust in our minds, nor our senses, and if this were true, of course we would have no ability to trust any input, whether from the Bible, or, like ourselves and the millions who lived prior to the Scriptures, from any source whatsoever. We assert that the claims of the impossibility of certain scientific knowledge are concessions to the relativism of the materialist.

Hello everyone! Many teachers work within districts and schools that value and understand the importance of teacher autonomy, yet this is not the case everywhere. With the pressure of accountability and an ever increasing eye on education in the political sphere, some districts and schools are opting for LESS teacher autonomy—often limiting teachers to just being program pushers or curriculum guide readers. To discuss this and more, I have brought on Patrick Harris II, an educator and the author of The First Five: A Love Letter to Teachers. In this discussion we talk about: The world of middle school teachers The importance of story-telling Knowing our why How teachers and students need room to be themselves to get the most out of education ...and so much more!   This episode is sponsored by Heinemann—the leading publisher of professional books and resources for educators—and their new book, Whispering in the Wind: A Guide to Deeper Reading and Writing Through Poetry, by Linda Rief. Do your students cringe when you teach a poetry unit? Do you? Whispering in the Wind is Linda Rief's latest book and it's a cure for poetry agony. This book shows you how to launch a simple, self-directed student poetry project that will help your students read more poetry, respond to it authentically, and maybe even discover that they actually enjoy it. Focusing on poetry really can make your students stronger readers and stronger writers. And you'll finally have a plan for teaching poetry that you'll love too.

ABOUT LEE GRANT (FROM TCM.COM)An attractive brunette with angular features, Lee Grant began her career as a child performer with NYC's Metropolitan Opera. By age 11, she had become a member of the American Ballet Theatre. After music studies at Juilliard, she won a scholarship to attend the Neighborhood Playhouse and switched her focus to acting. Grant understudied the role of Ado Annie in a touring production of "Oklahoma!" before landing her breakthrough stage role as a young shoplifter in Sidney Kingsley's "Detective Story" in 1949. Hollywood soon beckoned and she recreated the role in William Wyler's 1951 superb film version. Grant won the Cannes Film Festival Best Actress prize and earned a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for the role. Seemingly on the verge of a brilliant career, the actress found herself the victim of the blacklist when her husband, playwright Arnold Manoff was named before the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Grant herself refused to testify and the film offers over the next decade were sporadic.Returning to Manhattan, Grant found work in TV (e.g., the daytime soap "Search for Tomorrow") and on stage (i.e., "A Hole in the Head" 1957; "Two for the Seesaw" 1959). After earning an OBIE Award for her work in Genet's "The Maids" in 1963, her small screen career began to pick up. In 1965, Grant joined the cast of the primetime soap "Peyton Place" as Stella Chernak and picked up an Emmy for her work. She earned a second statuette for her performance as a runaway wife and mother who ends up at a truck stop in California in "The Neon Ceiling" (NBC, 1971).By the time she had earned her second Emmy, Grant's feature career had been rejuvenated with her stellar work as the widow of a murder victim in Norman Jewison's Oscar-winning "In the Heat of the Night" (1967). That same year, she essayed a neurotic in the campy "Valley of the Dolls." In "The Landlord" (1970), she was the society matron mother of Beau Bridges and her comic portrayal earned her a second Oscar nomination as Best Supporting Actress. Grant then played the mother of all Jewish mothers, Sophie Portnoy, in Ernest Lehman's film version of Philip Roth's novel "Portnoy's Complaint" (1972). Hal Ashby's "Shampoo" (1975) finally brought her a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award as a Beverly Hills matron having an affair with her hairdresser. The following year, Grant received a fourth nomination for her deeply moving portrayal of a Jewish refugee in "Voyage of the Damned."Her subsequent screen roles have been of varying quality, although Grant always brings a professionalism and degree of excellence to even the smallest role. After striking out as a sitcom lead in the underrated "Fay" (NBC, 1975), she delivered a fine portrayal of First Lady Grace Coolidge in "Backstairs at the White House" (NBC, 1979), was the domineering mother of actress Frances Farmer in "Will There Really Be a Morning?" (CBS, 1983) and excelled as Dora Cohn, mother of "Roy Cohn" (HBO, 1992). On the big screen, Grant lent her substantial abilities to "Teachers" (1984) as a hard-nosed school superintendent, "Defending Your Life" (1991), as an elegant prosecutor sparring with adversary Rip Torn, and "It's My Party" (1996), as the mother of man suffering from complications from AIDS.While Grant has continued to act in features and on TV, she has concentrated more on her directing career since the 80s. After studying at the American Film Institute, she made the short "The Stronger" (1976) which eventually aired on Arts & Entertainment's "Shortstories" in 1988. Grant made her feature debut with "Tell Me a Riddle" (1980), an earnest, well-acted story of an elderly couple facing death. She has excelled in the documentary format, beginning with "The Wilmar 8" (1981), about strike by female bank employees in the Midwest. (Grant later directed a fictionalized account entitled "A Matter of Sex" for NBC in 1984). She steered Marlo Thomas to an Emmy in the fact-based "Nobody's Child" (CBS, 1986) and earned praise for helming "No Place Like Home" (CBS, 1989), a stark look at the effects of unemployment. A number of her documentaries have been screened as part of HBO's "America Undercover" series, including the Oscar-winning "Down and Out in America" (1985), about the unemployed, "What Sex Am I?" (1985), about transsexuals and transvestites, "Battered" (1989), about victims of domestic violence, and "Women on Trial" (1992), about mothers who turn to the courts to protect their children. In 1997, she produced, directed and hosted the well-received "Say It, Fight It, Cure It" (Lifetime) which focused on breast cancer survivors and their families.ABOUT KILLIAN AND THE COMEBACK KIDSIn August, film distributor Hope Runs High will release its latest feature film across VOD platforms - bringing the much-lauded "Killian & the Comeback Kids" to a national audience outside of its 30 city theatrical release. For composer-writer-director Taylor A. Purdee, "Killian & the Comeback Kids" is a passion project that has united a dynamic team of creatives both onscreen and off. Concurrently with digital release, the film's screenplay will be preserved by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' permanent archive.With the film's initial theatrical releases, Purdee became the youngest director in 2020 and 2021 to have a film playing in major American exhibition circuits. He is also the first bi-racial director-star of African American descent to have a film theatrically released in the United States in the 21st century.'Killian' is the story of a young mixed-race musician forced to return to his rural hometown, burdened by the expense of his college degree. A chance encounter with a childhood acquaintance takes his summer in a new direction as the pair enlist a rag-tag band of other struggling locals to play a music festival coming to their once-prosperous steel town. With youthful ambition and an unflagging passion for folk-rock, Killian and the band take a shot at uniting their divided community and setting the stage for their futures.Purdee discusses the film's resonance in the current moment. "Folk music has always represented three things: a lot of self-determination, social responsibility, and a DIY spirit that happens to run through most younger generations. In a moment where the culture seems increasingly divided, when higher education could be viewed as more of a corporate scheme than a ticket to prosperity, and when one-third of our young people remain suspended in an elongated adolescence, our view of professional and personal identity is worth reimagining."The film's music by Purdee and his The Cumberland Kids bandmate Liam Higgins garnered Oscar buzz, and Purdee's original screenplay will be preserved in The Academy's permanent archive. The film stars Taylor A. Purdee, Kassie DePaiva, Nathan Purdee, John Donchak, Shannon O'Boyle, Shane Andries, Emily Mest, Yael Elisheva, and Andrew O'Shanick, and features Maddi Jane and Academy Award-winner Lee Grant."With a cast built of new faces, street musicians, Broadway mainstays, daytime superstars, new media darlings, and a living legend of classic Hollywood, our disruptive star power is the perfect mixture for an unconventional film in unconventional times."SYNOPSIS: Killian & the Comeback Kids is the story of a young mixed race musician forced to return to his rural hometown after an expensive college degree. A chance encounter with a childhood acquaintance gives the summer new direction. Together they throw together a rag-tag band of other struggling locals for one shot to play a music festival coming to their once prosperous steel town. Armed with only folk-rock, Killian and the band hope to unite the community - - if just for one night. A little musical at the cross roads of small town America and a burgeoning youth culture only just beginning to find its voice.Here's the trailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI6n2nkk8V0

Episode 80: Micaela Blei: The Pedagogy of Story Framing Overthrowing Education's 3rd anniversary is this month, and one way I wanted to celebrate was by replaying an early interview I loved with incredible educator and award-winning storyteller, Micaela Blei. She joined me for a great conversation about how to use story frames to bring learning alive, engage students and provide deeper learning. We also talk about all the amazing ways we can use storytelling in our teaching.  The fauxmercial parody, “Story Surprise” starts us off and after her interviewed, Micaela plays a hilarious, and very challenging version of The 5-Minute Game Show. Special thanks to Micaela and my fauxmercial cast -  the incredible Holender family actors Sophie, Benji and Karen, as well as Yossie Frankel and Eve Hirschman for helping write The 5-Minute Game Show.

How can leaders keep their high-performing teachers? Recent studies indicate that helping employees feel valued and appreciated is key. One study found that 93% of employees who reported feeling valued at work said that they are more motivated to do their best. Another study found that 79% who left their job reported that a lack of appreciation was a key factor for leaving. In this week's Accelerate Your Performance podcast episode, Dr. Janet Pilcher discusses the importance of cultivating a positive and supportive work environment for teachers. Listen as she shares practical ideas leaders can put into action to help create an environment employees feel supported, valued, and greater satisfaction working in.This episode addresses questions, such as:How can we take action to help our teachers feel more valued and appreciated?What are the key fundamental leadership actions we can take to support and retain our staff?What are some examples of questions you can ask new employees as a check-in 30 and 90 days into the job?Recommended Resources: Creating a Culture of Recognition, Stay Interviews, Increase Teacher Job Satisfaction and Retention, & The Irreplaceables

Have you ever felt like we are held to higher expectations than others as teachers? This is a common issue among teachers because guess what? We have lives too! I have taught for years and talked to teachers all around the world. There seems to be a consensus on the fact that teachers just aren't respected the way that they should be. Not only are they feeling like they aren't respected, but they also don't feel valued, and it feels like they are being taken advantage of. We are expected to give our entire lives over for the outcome. But we are more than just teachers. We are human beings with goals, hobbies, families, and lives outside of the classroom. We should be able to live and enjoy our lives outside of the classroom without all the judgment about what we do.The higher standard that teachers are held to is quite baffling at times. It differs from state to state, but some are so strict that it's just not fair to those teachers at all. Tune in to this episode to hear more of my thoughts on the expectations that are placed on teachers and my thoughts on things we can do to push back against these unrealistic and unfair standards. I would love to connect on Facebook: facebook.com/EasyTeachingTools & Instagram: instagram.com/easyteachingtools!Show notes available at easyteachingtools.com/episode16Resources Mentioned:Get your Refresh and Recharge ticket: https://www.easyteachingtools.com/refreshandrecharge

"See challenges as an invitation to innovate." Adam Woods is moving into his 17th year of Science Engineering teaching at Segerstrom High School in Santa Ana, CA. Adam has spent the past 8 years developing and maintaining the first Aerospace Engineering Pathway in Orange County, which consists of 3 successive Engineering courses designed to better prepare underrepresented students for STEM majors at the college level. Adam's passion for STEM education includes a deep commitment to leveling the playing field for young women pursuing Engineering or Computer Science. Adam has been a club advisor for “Girls Who Code”, “Sisters In Engineering”, and the Cal Poly Pomona “Femineer” program – all with the goal of closing the gender gap in technical professions. Looking into the future, Adam hopes to one day implement Environmental Engineering at his school site and create a synergetic Aerospace, Environmental Computer Science Academy.David Rhodes co-presented with Dr. Mark Ellis at the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) annual Boston conference regarding detracking the 7th-grade mathematics classes at Lathrop. Their presentation is titled "We Must Stop Sorting Students": One Teacher's Experience with Detracking. David's personal qualities of being reflective and collaborative make him a good team player and student advocate. Understanding that one can never stop learning, he seeks opportunities to improve his ability to teach and demonstrates a strong responsibility for the teaching profession by mentoring teachers, parents, and students to not only advocate for themselves but always be learning.

Teachers struggle a LOT with building and leading their classroom team. I want to structure this month's podcasts around helping you do both because even if you're just out of school and surrounded by paraprofessionals with three times as much experience, you need to take the lead. So today, I start with a discussion of the nuts and bolts of building the structure with a classroom staff so they can work as a team. 1:48​ - Why leadership isn't some big, scary thing 3:55 - An overview of the first part of the structure you'll need: the classroom zoning plan 6:20 - What a zoning plan doesn't include and the key to making it work 8:00 - The purpose of the lesson plan and setting up the vision for your classroom 10:50 - What to keep in mind as you build the classroom structure with your staff Grab the transcript, freebie and resource links at http://autismclassroomresources.com/episode131 Autism Classroom Resources' Free Resource Library... http://library.autismclassroomresources.com Want more information about the Special Educator Academy?

“One of the questions I learned to ask early in my career as an educator is, was my experience, maybe not everybody's experience, or was it?"

One of the most dramatic streams of trends in missions over the past decade and the present is the methodologies represented by DMM ("Disciple Making Movements"), CPM ("Church Planting Movements"), T4T ("Training for Teachers"), DBS ("Discovery Bible Studies"), and others. The statistics are mind-boggling! While we can learn some essential things about the power of God's word, presently plainly, simply, clearly, we also can see the seeds of a kind of legalism that breeds flawed concepts of salvation and the local church. Be careful! Ask questions. Stick close to a truly biblical understanding of conversion, Christian growth, and biblically qualified church leaders.

It's back-to-school season! Big box stores have put out special school supplies displays, and the airwaves are full of commercials for backpacks, clothes and markers. It's a pretty familiar phenomenon, but it's also impossible to deny that a lot has changed about education over the past few years, from the upheaval of the COVID-19 pandemic to new laws that impact what can be taught in the classroom. What is this time of year — this year — like for Middle Tennessee's teachers? To learn more, we're joined by educators and MNPS officials. But first, we'll hear from our newsroom about the results of yesterday's election. Guests:  Blaise Gainey, WPLN News political reporter Julia Ritchey, WPLN News afternoon news editor Laura Delgado, Program Director of the Pionero Scholars Program at the Lipscomb College of Education Daven Oglesby, exceptional education teacher at Lakeview Elementary Design Center Susan Strasinger, teacher at Hillsboro High School Michele Sheriff, President of the Metropolitan Nashville Education Association Dr. Mason Bellamy, Chief of Academics and Schools for Metro Nashville Public Schools

Corinthians worship services looked so amazing from the outside! Miracles, signs and wonders! Great silver tongued orators and Teachers! Nuggets of God's truth was dazzling. There were People that gave so much money that they had the regular givers blushing- but underneath it all- God was looking in and saying- it all amounts to a big pile of nothing! Because the motive behind it all was self-centeredness and an attempt to elevate themselves rather than Jesus.

Construction is to start at the former Eastland Mall site. Area public schools are in a recruitment bonus battle with less than a month to go before teachers and students return to the classroom. The State Board of Elections certifies the Green Party as an official party. And we now have evidence in Mecklenburg of community spread of monkeypox. Mike Collins and a roundtable of reporters detail those and other stories.

Why?: Are you a teacher or a facilitator? What's the difference? What?: In many churches, for more than a generation, we've called everyone who leads a class a teacher. But that's only technically right in that every Christian teaches as the church carries out the Great Commission through the individual believers in the church. So, parents teach children. Believers teach the lost. Mature believers teach less mature believers. All those opportunities tend to be private encounters. For public teaching, or teaching in groups, Jesus has given the church teachers. In Ephesians 4, when Paul talks about the unity of the church, he says that Jesus gave, among other things, shepherds and teachers to equip the saints for the work of ministry and for building up the body of Christ to unity. Teachers, in this sense, are extensions of the pastor's role. In fact, many scholars argue that when Paul writes "shepherds and teachers" he means two aspects of the same office. That is, pastors are to shepherd and to teach. Even if you argue that these are two separate offices, pastor and teacher, it's hard to argue that they are not closely related. Teachers are gifted to the church by Jesus, equipped by the Holy Spirit, and recognized by the church as gifted to teach. Between these private and public ministries, for decades we've recognized another role for willing, mature believers. Although we've often labeled them teachers, they are, more properly, facilitators. When you look at most commercially available Bible lessons, traditionally called quarterlies, their content is written by teachers for facilitators to use in the local church. So, they've developed entire lessons that can be used with minimal modification to effectively teach the Bible. Any mature believer should be able to take the prepared lesson and lead a class. If, instead of using quarterlies, the church uses sermon-based questions, almost any mature believer can be taught to facilitate discussion of those questions. Whatever choice the church makes in content, mature believers can fill a real need in the church by serving as facilitators. In contrast to facilitating fixed content, teachers tend to develop new content or modify existing lessons for the local church. Thankfully, the commercial publishers use teachers to write the lessons that get sent to facilitators. Also, thankfully, God places teachers in the church to extend the pastor's ministry. Since teachers are so closely tied to the pastor's role it's reasonable to hold them to the qualifications for elders or pastors that Paul describes in 1 Tim chapter 3 and Titus chapter 1. Their public speaking ministry risks leading others astray, which is why James 3:1 talks about the strict judgment for teachers. So What?: The church needs teachers and mature believers who serve as facilitators. Some fill both of those roles depending on the circumstance. Others serve in only one of those roles. So What Now?: So, which are you? Teacher or facilitator? If you're a facilitator, facilitate well. If you're a teacher, teach well.

Full Hour | In today's second hour, Dom welcomes Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer back onto the Dom Giordano Program. Stollsteimer has become somewhat of a character on the show, with Dom playing sound drops from an interview that went south when he tried comparing Stollsteimer to Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner. Dom admits his fault in the comparison, highlighting some positive policing taking place in Delaware County, a strong departure from the prioritization of politics over safety we're seeing here in Philadelphia. Stollsteimer and Giordano get into the nuts and bolts of what's playing out in Chester, with Jack explaining the approach that he and the police department have taken to strengthen safety for the residents of the city of Chester and the surrounding County. Stollsteimer stresses the importance of working in conjunction with local resources including the police department, explaining a ‘carrot and stick' approach that he and the department have worked on. Then, Giordano moves into a conversation centered on the American Federation of Teachers and public schools, playing back a clip from President Randi Weingarten, who has gone on a recent tear of suggesting that Republicans want to tear down public education. Dom asks why this would be such a bad thing, pointing to the inflated budgets of public schools and the continued failure of students. Then, Giordano ties this into the Build Back Better bill, which Dom reveals is crafted heavily in favor of unions. (Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images)

Tune in as we talk about summer ending, Jessica not knowing when school starts and curriculum questions. 

Why are America's schools so short-staffed? Experts point to a confluence of factors including pandemic-induced teacher exhaustion, low pay and some educators' sense that politicians and parents — and sometimes their own school board members — have little respect for their profession amid an escalating educational culture war that has seen many districts and states pass policies and laws restricting what teachers can say about U.S. history, race, racism, gender and sexual orientation, as well as LGBTQ issues. “The political situation in the United States, combined with legitimate aftereffects of covid, has created this shortage,” said Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers. “This shortage is contrived.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Season 2 coming September 1st!!

Those on the red team may not be household names to the everyday person, but they are absolutely legends and icons in the world of cybersecurity and hacking. While we have our personal favorite hackers between the two of us, we also invite our guest, Davin Jackson, to share his favorite cybersecurity legends and the lessons he's learned from them. Timecode Guide: [00:50] The importance of red teaming, especially during this season [02:17] Ron and Chris' first experience working in a red team environment [11:23] Communication and collaboration between blue and red [16:53] Knowledge gained from Davin Jackson's humble beginnings in tech [22:19] Gaining the blue perspective with Hacker Valley Blue Thank you to our sponsors Axonius and PlexTrac for bringing this season of HVR to life! Life is complex. But it's not about avoiding challenges or fearing failure. Just ask Simone Biles — the greatest gymnast of all time. Want to learn more about how Simone controls complexity? Watch her video at axonius.com/simone PlexTrac is pleased to offer an exclusive Red Team Content Bundle for Hacker Valley listeners. This bundle contains both our "Writing a Killer Penetration Test Report" and "Effective Purple Teaming" white papers in ONE awesome package. Head to PlexTrac.com/HackerValley to learn more about the platform and get your copy today! _____________ Legends, Icons, Teachers, and Friends From Marcus Carey to Johnny Long, we're excited to share the legends that had an early influence and lasting impact on our careers in cybersecurity. While our two backgrounds in red teaming are different, we can attribute so much of our success and our ability to share our knowledge with all of you to the experts that were willing to invite us to join and learn the best hacking techniques alongside them. “I think that's the most important thing in red teaming, it's passing that knowledge on to someone else.” - Chris Cochran   Communication, collaboration, and community instead of red vs blue It is not two teams with two separate fights when we're talking about red teams and blue teams. Often, when cybersecurity is too focused on this split between offensive and defensive, we forget to collaborate and fall short of improving on issues we discovered. Communication between red and blue can be a costly struggle, which is why we're happy to see our sponsor PlexTrac stepping in to develop communication technology for these teams. “There's this push and pull of collaboration. On one hand, you want the red team to work autonomously…but on the other hand, they do need insight if you're going to go deeper and deeper.” - Ron Eddings   Legends met, lessons learned, tech loneliness understood In the latter half of our episode, we're joined by Hacker Valley Blue host Davin Jackson, also known as DJax Alpha. Davin started his cybersecurity journey with no computer of his own. Working his way up from basic tech jobs at corporations like Circuit City, lessons Davin learned from the legends he looked up to include finding a mentor, focusing on networking (even when it feels like a dead end), and being always willing to share what you've learned. “It's about consistency, and you have to have self control and discipline…It's one thing to get it, but it's another to maintain that success.” - Davin ---------- Spend some time with our guest, Davin Jackson (DJax Alpha/Alpha Cyber Security) on his website, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and weekly on the Hacker Valley Blue podcast.

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin, as usual, bring you the latest at the earliest: This week, voters went to the polls in historic numbers in Kansas, flabbergasting the GQP, and even inching Nate Silver a bit towards reality. Samuel Alito skulks off somewhere to beat his gavel. Michigan's fourth-place Guber-candidate Ryan Kelly suspects that something illicit happened in his election. Arizona's Kari Lake also detected fraud in her election but was unable to get a bead on it by morning. In Michigan, Peter Meijer, one of the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Donald Trump, found himself primaried into the cornfield.  Is it Democrat's fault that we can't have nice Republicans? Or could it be that Republicans went to the polls and then voted for the Republicans they wanted? Apparently, voters do get who they vote for… or keep voting for. The primaries move to Tennessee today, but many fear being seen at the polls. One in five Black adults in Tennessee are barred from voting. Pamela Moses asked if she could vote, was told she could, and when she did was given a 6-year prison sentence. Fake electors are about a lot more than their fake electing, and the DOJ is following the rot to right up to their heads. It turns out that Homeland Security watchdog Joseph Cuffari was into violating ethics before his present job, which seems to be all about violating ethics. Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins have joined Kyrsten Sinema and Tim Kaine for a bipartisan bill to codify Roe v. Wade. How they hope to accomplish this is nuanced, complex, and thus up David's KITM alley. How does Krysten Sinema do it? Teachers — distrusted, demoralized, defunded, and generally shat upon by conservatives for decades — are quitting their jobs for some reason.

In this episode I talk about how you to be the best student teacher and athlete.

As we continue our Best of Trending in Ed series through the summer, in this edition we're featuring our most downloaded episode ever where Dr. Rich Milner joins host Mike Palmer in the Summer of 2020 to talk about his book, Start Where You Are But Don't Stay There: Understanding Diversity, Opportunity Gaps, and Teaching in Today's Classrooms for which the 2nd edition had just been published. Rich is a Professor of Education at Vanderbilt University where he focuses on Teacher Education with special attention to issues of racial equity. We explore Rich's thinking about issues of diversity, opportunity gaps, and the mindsets that must be overcome to effectively engage diverse students and classrooms. While many of the themes are enormously relevant to this day, several warranted further discussion in light of the Black Lives Matter Movement and the COVID-19 pandemic which were roiling in the Summer of 2020 when this episode was recorded. We explore much of this in a riveting conversation with Rich that you won't want to miss. Rich is a leading thinker on teacher education and diversity and we very much appreciate getting time with him on for this episode. Here's to having him back to continue the conversation in the future! Subscribe to Trending in Education wherever you get your podcasts.
