The Ruckus Report Quick take: Two beards, two red hats, one mission to blow up education's broken boundaries. Mitch Weathers reveals why saying "no" to district busywork and "yes" to what actually moves the needle isn't rebellion — it's leadership. Meet Your Fellow Ruckus Maker Mitch became a gifted teacher because he was a mediocre student. Mitch rarely felt comfortable in the classroom. In fact, it took him 7 years to graduate from college. Choosing to become a teacher, Mitch was fortunate enough to experience school as if it was happening all around him. He was unsure how to jump into his learning with confidence. There is a loneliness to experiencing your education as a passive object as opposed to an active subject. From the moment he entered the classroom, Mitch relied on his personal experiences as a learner. He recognized that what we teach—the content or curriculum—is secondary. We must first lay the foundation for learning before we can get to teaching. Mitch designed Organized Binder to empower teachers with a simple but research-backed strategy to teach students executive functioning skills while protecting the time needed for content instruction. The secret is found in establishing a predictable learning routine that serves to foster safer learning spaces. When students get practice with executive functions by virtue, we set them up for success. Learn more in his recent book Executive Functions for Every Classroom. Breaking Down the Old Rules

As you set up your classroom and wait for students to arrive, a different kind of noise often fills the silence: worry. Teachers carry a lot on their shoulders, and sometimes that worry grows loud enough to drown out everything else, stirring up self-doubt. In today's episode, you'll learn simple, practical strategies to quiet that worry, take away its power, and boost your confidence, both in the classroom and in your everyday life.

This week's episode has everything: brownies gone wrong, mice turning into classroom pets, and yes… the day I realized my car had become a rat maternity ward. (Don't eat during that part, teacher besties.) We kick things off with a student cruise that takes a very unexpected turn when a principal tries to “prove a point” with confiscated brownies. Spoiler: it backfired spectacularly. Then, a mouse runs straight into class and one student's reaction is… let's just say not what I would've done. And to balance out the chaos, I sit down with Phil Januszewski, a high-energy youth speaker, about why awkwardness and failing forward might actually be the best gift we can give our students. Takeaways: What happened when a mouse joined senior English — and why one student treated it like a pet. How a field trip brownie left an entire school board scrambling (and a principal very high). Andrea's most cursed car story yet: the discovery of a rat nest… placenta included. Why Phil Januszewski says “embrace the awkward” is the secret to building student confidence. Andrea reflects on how naive teachers (herself included) can be when kids are high right under our noses. Teachers' night out? Yes, please!

Why are Jewish teachers being told by their own unions: “You're on your own”? This episode dives into a shocking and overlooked crisis inside America's public schools—where antisemitism is on the rise, and the very organizations meant to protect educators are doing nothing. What's really going on behind the scenes? And why should every parent, teacher, and taxpayer be paying attention to this? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS In today's conversation, I sit down with education policy researcher Gary Frankel to unpack his latest article at Real Clear Education. We explore the disturbing reality Jewish educators face in classrooms—harassment from students, indifference from administrators, and silence from teachers unions that are more focused on politics than protecting their members. The stories will leave you shaking your head, but the data will make your jaw drop. We dig into how cultural shifts, political tribalism, and the influence of social media have fueled an environment where antisemitism isn't just whispered—it's often ignored or excused. Gary breaks down the difference between criticizing the Israeli government and outright bigotry, and why today's younger generations are blurring that line in dangerous ways. But this isn't just a story about antisemitism—it's a case study in how unions, advocacy groups, and even education itself can drift from their original mission. From the ADL's partisan turn to the way conspiracy theories fill the gaps left by weak public discourse, we look at how neglect and complacency create fertile ground for hate to grow. If you care about protecting teachers, holding unions accountable, and ensuring our kids learn values that unite rather than divide—this is an episode you can't afford to skip. We're not just pointing out problems; we're showing how to fight back with truth, transparency, and courage. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

In this episode of Digital Learning Today, Jeffrey Bradbury and Stephanie Clinise explore the integration of artificial intelligence in education, specifically in high school environments. They discuss the transition challenges from middle school to high school, how AI serves as a supportive tool for teachers, and the value of personalized learning approaches. Stephanie shares her firsthand experiences using AI to boost student engagement and improve learning outcomes, while addressing the limitations of standardized teaching methods. The conversation concludes with actionable advice for educators on effectively implementing AI in both their classrooms and daily routines. Become a High-Impact Leader: This episode is just the beginning. To get the complete blueprint for designing and implementing high-impact systems in your district, get your copy of my book, "Impact Standards." Strategic Vision for Digital Learning: Learn how to create a district-wide vision that aligns digital learning with your educational goals, transforming how standards-based instruction is designed and supported. Curriculum Design and Implementation: Discover practical strategies for integrating digital learning into existing curricula, creating vertical alignment of skills, and mapping digital learning across grade levels. Effective Instructional Coaching: Master the art of coaching people rather than technology, building relationships that drive success, and measuring impact through student engagement rather than just technology usage. Purchase your copy of “Impact Standards” on Amazon today! Key Takeaways: AI serves as a support tool for teachers, not a replacement. Ninth grade represents a transformative year in students' educational journey. AI enables more personalized learning experiences for students. Educators should prioritize teaching appropriate AI usage to students. Standardized education frameworks can successfully coexist with individualized teaching approaches. AI tools reduce teacher workload and minimize decision fatigue. Teachers should share their AI success stories to promote wider adoption. Effective AI implementation enhances both student engagement and learning outcomes. Educators benefit from experimenting with AI in their personal lives before classroom implementation. Each AI tool offers distinct features and capabilities for different educational needs.

When Congress passed a budget bill that clawed back more than a billion dollars in federal funding for public media, radio stations across the country were put on notice. With the lack of funding, many have already laid off staff, and many smaller stations in rural areas are at risk of closing for good. That includes stations in the western United States that serve indigenous communities.

This summer, while I continue to heal from surgery and dream up Season 6, I am re-airing our most popular series: Creative Archetypes! If you are unfamiliar with the Enneagram, you can listen to the intro episode from the original 2023 series here. And if you are familiar and know your number, might I suggest you listen to each episode (even those that aren't about your number) to develop empathy and understanding of those who see the world differently. The Enneagram is a powerful tool for personal and relationship transformation, for artists and everyone! If you have episode ideas, dream guest suggestions, or other feedback for me, drop me an email hello@artistsforjoy.org Original show notes: Today on the podcast: our final Creative Archetype….Enneagram 9s. Teachers call this type The Peacemaker. Merideth chats with author and editor Ariel Curry, bassist and author David James, and author, spiritual director, and retreat leader Lori Melton, all about life as a creative 9. They discuss figuring out how you feel, cultivating a relationship with conflict, and making room for individuality through creative expression.   (Side note: All 3 of these 9s are married to Enneagram 8s. How about that!)  These 9s invite you all to celebrate the space you inhabit in your personality as we encourage them to step into and celebrate theirs. Invitation:  Take a moment to grab a pen or pencil and draw what you see with your non-dominant hand. 9s are great at not judging, so as you create, sustain judgment of yourself. Be open, playful, and imaginative as you take up space on the page. Allow whatever comes up to come up, and whatever you do, don't stop until you are done. When you feel finished, journal about the experience. What was your inner dialogue like? Do not let the noise of your critic shake your inner peace. Give yourself permission to try and try again.  Ariel Curry, author and editor David James, bassist and author Lori Melton, author, spiritual director, and retreat leader David Gate Enneagram Poems Enneagram Workshop with Artists for Joy Playlist of the Creative Archetypes Series Register for the next Artist's Way Creative Cluster Buy Merideth a coffee Email the show: hello@artistsforjoy.org  Email the show: hello@artistsforjoy.org

SUMMARY In this episode, Andrew Adams, Nick Taber, and Dennis Campo discuss the essential role of teachers in martial arts and the importance of continuous learning. They explore how martial arts evolve over time, the mindset of being a perpetual student, and the need for instructors to seek guidance from others. The conversation highlights the value of community and mentorship in martial arts, as well as the initiatives by Whistlekick to support teacher training and development.   TAKEAWAYS Martial arts teachers need teachers to continue their growth. The cycle of learning never ends; instructors must evolve. Even masters should maintain a beginner's mindset. Continuous learning is essential for personal and professional development. Martial arts evolve over time, influenced by various factors. Learning from students is as important as teaching them. Whistlekick offers valuable resources for teacher training. Instructors should seek external guidance to enhance their skills. The mindset of a perpetual student fosters growth and improvement.

The traditional education model we've been using since the 1940s was designed for assembly line workers. But this system is failing to prepare kids for real life.   This week, I'm talking to Dr. Linda Hopper, a former business coach turned classroom teacher, who turned the system upside down by bringing coaching principles into the classroom. After spending 14 years in the classroom, Dr. Hopper found that asking the right questions - rather than just giving the right answers - is the key to helping kids grow and learn.   Join us today as Dr. Hopper shows us how we, as educators and parents, can empower kids to become experts on themselves. Her approach shifts the focus away from standardized tests and helps students build skills that last a lifetime.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://planningplaytime.com/107

It's not just the moms making things happen in Highland Park ISD—there's a powerhouse network of dads raising funds, building community, and showing up in ways that make a lasting impact on our schools. In this episode of The Bubble Lounge, guest host Sean Jackson sits down with Ryan Scripps, President Emeritus of the Highland Park High School Dad's Club, and Scott Trulock, current President of the Park Cities Dad's Club, to pull back the curtain on the surprising world of organized father involvement. From clay shoots and poker tournaments to serving in cafeterias and working the morning carpool, these dads are making a difference both on and off campus.You'll hear how the Dad's Club not only funds major teacher support—like the $200,000 raised at their annual Teachers' Cup Tournament—but also creates everyday moments that show kids, especially boys, the value of engaged male role models. Whether you're new to the neighborhood or a lifelong resident, this conversation will inspire you to see our schools through a new lens and maybe even grab a spot on the volunteer roster. Tune in to find out why the Dad's Club has become a cornerstone of the Park Cities experience and how you can be part of this tradition.To learn more and get involved in the Highland Park Dads Club click hereThis episode is sponsored by: Cambridge Caregivers Kathy L Wall State Farm Agency | Mother Modern Plumbing | SA Oral Surgeons | Please show your support for the show by visiting our amazing sponsors.

Reform or Repeat — What Needs to Change NOW To Protect Kids From Dangerous Teachers We've exposed how predators get passed from district to district, protected by law and apathy. Now—it's time to fix it. In our final segment, Eric Faddis turns the lens on reform. What policy changes, laws, and protections can break the cycle? We explore proposals like: Mandatory national misconduct database for educators Timely cross-state reporting of resignation or misconduct Criminal penalties for administrators who conceal abuse Mandatory visual documentation in classrooms for transparency We also confront the cultural resistance: fear of teacher shortages, union backlash, and budget constraints. Eric argues that real change requires legal accountability, community outrage, and public pressure that outlasts headlines. If you're ready for solutions—not more excuses—this episode lays them out in sharp, actionable detail. Then we close with the hard truth: until the system is restructured around kids, not careers, we're just preparing the ground for the next tragedy.

Classroom management isn't just a concern for homeroom teachers. Specials teachers face their own unique set of challenges: rotating classes, varying expectations, and limited time to build relationships. But with the right strategies, you can turn that chaos into connection and create a learning environment where students thrive, no matter how short the time you have with them. In today's episode, I'll walk you through several classroom management strategies tailored specifically for specialist teachers, along with practical tools for implementing them.

Nev Fountain is an award-winning writer, chiefly known for his work on the BBC sketch show Dead Ringers in both TV and radio incarnations. He has also contributed to many other programs, including Have I Got News for You and Newzoids. He is a principal gag writer for satirical magazine Private Eye and contributes to every issue. He first came to write for Doctor Who when he script-edited the BBC online story "Death Comes to Time" in 2001, and has gone on to write some of Big Finish's most popular audios, including "The Kingmaker" and "Peri and the Piscon Paradox." His books include The Mervyn Stone Mysteries, The Fan Who Knew too Much, and its sequel, Lies and Dolls, which was released in July. Nev talks with me about how he got his start writing radio comedy, the challenges of writing comedy even about very serious events, writing for various forms and media, leaving room to be surprised as you're writing, and more. Episode breakdown: 00:00 Introduction 04:02 Teachers encouraged Nev; family humor shaped his view. 08:21 Comedy influences: The Young Ones, Blackadder, Hitchhiker's Guide. 12:27 Breaking into radio comedy. 16:03 Playwriting taught Nev what makes audiences laugh—live. 20:22 Writing comedy about tragic events; satire offers relief and perspective. 24:23 Dead Ringers' hiatus, revival, and Jon Culshaw's Tom Baker calls. 28:47 Sketches with Ozzy Osbourne, behind-the-scenes stories from TV comedy. 33:46 Nev's serendipitous first Doctor Who project, "Death Comes to Time." 39:23 The process and impact of "Death Comes to Time" explained. 46:31 Challenges and expectations of writing “big” stories in franchises. 52:18 Emphasizing medium-specific storytelling; novels, radio, TV all differ. 58:14 Enjoying creative surprises; writing unfolds beyond outlines or plans. Want more? Here are handy playlists with all my previous interviews with guests in writing, theatre, and Doctor Who.   If you enjoyed our conversation, I hope you'll share it with a friend.

Follow Everyday Prayers @MillionPrayingMomsA Prayer For Teachers to Speak LifeWords have power to give life. In this episode from Tara L. Cole, we explore the power of life-giving words and how they can shape a child’s heart, even in moments of correction. Drawing parallels to how Jesus called Peter “the rock” before he became one, the message reminds us that encouragement sees potential beyond the present. Teachers, parents, and leaders are urged to look past shortcomings and instead call out the best in those they guide.Reference:1 Thessalonians 5:11 Prayer: Lord, fill all our teachers with life -giving words and build them up so they can pour into our children.

Jonathan Alsheimer is back on the podcast, and this conversation is every bit as powerful as his first appearance. We dig into what it really means to show up for kids—not just being present in the room, but being fully engaged, intentional, and committed to their success. Jonathan shares how building strong, authentic relationships can transform not only the classroom environment, but also the learning that happens within it. We also tackle one of the biggest balancing acts in education: delivering rigorous, meaningful content while also teaching the life skills, resilience, and character our students need beyond school walls. If you enjoyed our first conversation, you'll love this one even more. It's a reminder that great teaching isn't just about the curriculum—it's about the connection.

Playwright Sarah Ruhl has collected wisdom from her mentors, from Pulitzer winners to driving instructors, in her new book Lessons from My Teachers. She joins Mike to talk about the art of learning, the balance between control and letting go, writing obliquely about grief (sometimes through a dog's eyes), and why you should thank the people who taught you before it's too late. Also, gerbils, almonds, and the occasional vibrator play.
