SUMMARY In this engaging conversation, Andrew Adams and Sensei Ando explore the multifaceted world of martial arts, emphasizing the importance of continuous learning, the challenges faced by students, and the role of instructors in guiding their students. They discuss the significance of tailoring techniques to individual needs, the misconceptions surrounding the best martial arts, and the impact of music in training environments. The dialogue culminates in a reflection on the responsibilities of teachers to provide meaningful experiences that prepare students for real-life situations.   TAKEAWAYS Continuous learning is essential in martial arts. The 'Wednesday Wall' is a common challenge for students. Techniques should be tailored to individual students' needs. Not every technique works for every person. Martial arts is not just about showing up; practice is crucial. Music can distract from the focus needed in training. Defining martial arts can vary based on personal experiences. Teachers should guide students towards deeper understanding. Exposure to real experiences is vital for student growth. The goal is to provide as much value as possible in training.

The American Federation of Teachers of Texas is suing the Texas Education Agency over a series of investigations the agency launched over teachers' comments on social media after the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. In other news, a police officer and a public service officer with the Dallas Police Department have been terminated from their positions following a January disciplinary hearing; over 40 Dallas police units responded to a bomb threat at North Dallas High School on Tuesday morning.

This episode was originally released exclusively for our members, but with Jeffrey Epstein back in the headlines, we are making it available publicly so everyone can hear the story that started it all.Before billionaires, royals, politicians, and global outrage, the Epstein scandal began with something no one expected. A high school fight in Palm Beach, Florida.In 2005, a fourteen-year-old girl casually told a friend she had been paid hundreds of dollars to give a massage to a wealthy man. When that friend repeated the story during a heated argument at school, the information spread. Teachers were told. Parents were alerted. And law enforcement was finally forced to look closer at a man who had been hiding in plain sight.That moment cracked open what would become one of the most explosive sex trafficking cases in modern history. Without it, Jeffrey Epstein's crimes may have continued unchecked for years.In this deep dive, we break down how a single conversation between teenagers set off a chain reaction that exposed Epstein, his enablers, and the system that failed to stop him sooner.If you want access to monthly bonus episodes, early releases, and members-only deep dives like this one, you can join our members group anytime. We would love to have you with us.

Opening Paragraph In this episode, we tackle the challenges educators face as uncertainty around AI, demographic shifts, and evolving student futures continue to reshape schools. Teachers are feeling the pressure to personalize learning for every student, and we explore how AI might assist rather than overwhelm us in that work. Jennifer Womble, Conference Chair for FETC, joins us to unpack trends that matter now and in the years ahead. Whether you're attending FETC or not, this conversation will help you make sense of what's next in education. What You'll Learn In this episode, you'll learn how to: think about the implications of today's kindergarteners graduating in 2035 and what shifting demographics mean for schools reframe AI as an assistant to support teaching and learning rather than a threat recognize why learning as a human-centered, relational skill remains essential consider how schools and teachers can respond to change with clarity and purpose Episode Link Show notes and resources: https://www.coolcatteacher.com/e923

This is Episode 1 of ReDream Education… and this is only the beginning. I created this first episode to speak directly to the three groups who are shaping the future of learning: parents, teachers, and microschool founders. You are the ones living at the intersection of crisis and calling. You are the ones who feel the pressure, see the gaps, and know deep down that the current system isn't working. And whether you're listening from your classroom, your car, your kitchen, or your microschool-in-the-making, I know this truth: Something in your life is asking you for a new dream. A wiser dream. A ReDream. In this episode, I share my story — the journey from a dining room table microschool to building a multi-building campus, a nonprofit, the Bright Pathways program, and a national movement that supports educators and families across the country. But more importantly, I'm sharing why everything had to evolve. Because the world of education is changing rapidly. Parents are searching for options that honor their children's individuality. Teachers are longing for purpose, autonomy, and impact beyond standardized systems. Founders are stepping forward to build flexible, mastery-based, relationship-centered learning communities. The crisis is real. But so is the opportunity. This episode is where I lay the foundation for the entire movement: ⭐ Why education is in a breakdown—and why that breakdown is a doorway Parents are exhausted. Teachers are burnt out. Students are anxious, bored, or misunderstood. Communities are desperate for alternatives. The old blueprint no longer works. ⭐ Why YOU are part of the ReDream You're listening because some part of your life, your classroom, your child, or your calling is asking for something different. Something better. Something truer. A ReDream isn't about starting from scratch — it's about becoming who you were meant to be. ⭐ Why this movement exists ReDream Education is for: parents craving personalized learning teachers stepping into innovation founders designing micro-schools, pods, and hybrid models philanthropists wanting to invest in schools that actually work leaders ready to reshape the future of education This movement exists because our children deserve more than a system. They deserve a vision. ⭐ What listeners can expect from ReDream Education Every episode will give you: practical frameworks leadership development curriculum clarity founder strategy enrollment + marketing support personalized learning models neurodivergent + gifted pathways breakthrough stories from real schools the systems and soul work required to build something meaningful ⭐ The evolution of Microschool Masterminds In this new era, Microschool Masterminds becomes the home for founders nationwide — with weekly coaching, operations support, curriculum design tools, legal guidance, and the systems needed to start or scale a thriving microschool. ⭐ The calling forward If you are here, you are not meant to sit on the sidelines of education reform. You are meant to shape it. To build it. To redream it. This is Episode 1. And this is only the beginning. ----more---- Microschool Masterminds: skool.com/microschool-masterminds Every Thursday from 12-1 pm (EST), join Makenzie Oliver, microschool founder, VELA connector, and instructional coach, along with other founders, parents, and dreamers, as we connect, inspire, and progress through the challenges and celebrations of starting, running, and growing a microschool!

Dr. Laura Scherck Wittcoff welcomes Dr. Leah Hanes, CEO of Two-Bit Circus Foundation, to discuss how hands-on, experiential learning is transforming education for students across Los Angeles and beyond. After 13 years leading the organization, Dr. Hanes shares her personal journey from a student labeled a "slow learner" due to undiagnosed dyslexia to becoming a passionate advocate for reimagining how we teach creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. The conversation explores the Foundation's innovative programs—STEAM Labs, Makerspaces, STEAM Carnivals, and immersive learning experiences—all designed to make education engaging and accessible regardless of economic background. A core theme throughout the episode is the failure of traditional, lecture-based education to engage modern learners. Dr. Hanes emphasizes that students retain only 10% of what they read after two weeks, while learning skyrockets when knowledge is applied to real projects. She advocates for "doing, not sitting"—flipping classrooms to spend 40 minutes making and 10 minutes talking, rather than the reverse. The episode also tackles timely issues like AI in education (which Dr. Hanes sees as an assistive technology when used ethically), the $25 billion annual cost of standardized testing with minimal educational value, and the power of collaborative group work to build empathy and real-world readiness. Dr. Hanes shares compelling stories, including a young artist who discovered she could become an engineer through a STEAM project and went on to UC Berkeley on a full scholarship—the first in her family to attend university. She also discusses the Foundation's "Trash for Teaching" initiative, which has diverted over 900 tons of manufacturers' clean waste from landfills, giving schools free creative materials while providing companies tax benefits. The Foundation recently opened a 13,000 sq. ft. warehouse and is planning to expand its teacher training programs, partner with local universities, and scale the Trash for Teaching model globally. Key Takeaways * Education should prioritize doing over sitting. Hands-on, project-based learning dramatically improves retention and student engagement. * Collaboration builds empathy and strength. Group work mirrors real-world environments and allows students to discover their unique strengths. * Creative materials (not kits) foster invention.  Open-ended "trash" encourages students to become designers and engineers, not 'instruction-followers'. * Teachers need to experience joyful learning themselves. Professional development that models creativity and fun transforms how teachers approach their classrooms. * Scaling innovation requires partnership. Two-Bit Circus Foundation's umbrella model brings together complementary nonprofits to reach more students sustainably. --- Resources & Links Small & Gutsy Podcast https://www.smallandgutsy.org Two-Bit Circus Foundation https://twobitcircus.org

PRE-ORDER MY NEW BOOK (OUT MAY 5, 2026)!!! — https://bit.ly/43BquPd Teacher besties… this episode I'm talking about hosting nearly 30 people for Thanksgiving (including a self-appointed “Director of Thanksgiving”), discovering my husband's family may have some intense World War II memorabilia, and the moment I suddenly had to ask, “Was he… on the right side?” And then, because the universe wasn't done with me, we dive into a student who shotgunned a seltzer in the middle of a lesson like he was training for a frat he cannot legally join yet… and another student who thought it would be hilarious to make his teacher's mom his Chromebook wallpaper. Plus, I'm climbing onto a hill that I know is going to get me fired up, because if we don't fix this issue in education, nothing else even matters. Takeaways: The unexpected family “heirloom” that made me question everything I knew about my husband's family tree. The seventh grader who cracked open a seltzer like he was at a tailgate… during a lesson on industrialization. Why I now fully believe middle schoolers work for the FBI. A brain break resource that turns even high-schoolers into unhinged backup dancers. The one education issue that will ruin every reform effort until we actually address it. -- Teachers' night out?

John's New Years resolution is to break 80 on a consistent basis in 2026. In this episode, presented by Fanduel, America's number one sports book, 2 of Golf Magazine's Top100 Teachers give tips and techniques on how to easily accomplish that. Both Jeff Smith and Scott Monroe join the podcast for some in depth advice on how to break 80. Jeff and Scott both talk about the importance of getting the basics right: i.e. primarily your grip. The wrong grip for your swing and body type can cause hooks and slices, Ball position is another basic that must be right in order to shoot a lower score consistently. And then there is the basic ability to aim your body correctly to the target. Jeff talks about the importance of getting the aim right BEFORE worrying about the ball position. And finally, a tool you can use to make sure you know when the club face is exactly perpendicular to the target.

In Episode 350 of My EdTech Life, Dr. Alfonso “Fonz” Mendoza sits down with Lindy Hockenbary (LindyHoc), a K–12 EdTech advisor, strategist, and professional learning leader known for helping teachers make technology work for real learning. This conversation goes straight to the issues educators actually face, the “one more thing” overload, AI misconceptions, and how to move beyond AI detectors toward authentic assessments students can't fake. Lindy breaks down how AI literacy fits inside core instruction (not as a separate add-on), why we must redesign assessment to emphasize process over product, and how tools with guardrails + teacher dashboards change what “safe classroom AI use” can look like. You'll also hear why Lindy's work is especially grounded in small and rural schools, where staffing, compliance review, and budget constraints make AI adoption harder, but also more urgent.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction02:05 Lindy Hockenbary's Educational Journey04:57 The Impact of Technology on Education09:19 Changing Mindsets in Education11:00 Integrating AI into Core Curriculum16:42 Redesigning Assessment in the Age of AI23:37 Authenticity in Learning and AI Challenges24:24 Misconceptions About AI in Education25:52 AI Literacy and Compliance in Teaching31:58 The Impact of ChatGPT on Educators36:00 Challenges in Rural Education and AI Adoption40:39 Final Thoughts and Future DirectionsLindy's website: https://www.lindyhoc.com/Make EdTech 100 podcast page: https://www.lindyhoc.com/podcastSponsors ShoutoutThank you to our sponsors: Book Creator, Eduaide.AI, and Peel Back Education for supporting My EdTech Life.Peel Back Education exists to uncover, share, and amplify powerful, authentic stories from inside classrooms and beyond, helping educators, learners, and the wider community connect meaningfully with the people and ideas shaping education today.

Send us a textAre you standing at the edge of a new year wondering which way to go and how far you'll go?

In Adam Sandler's Billy Madison, an immature heir's journey back through grade school becomes a wild, comedic exploration of learning, privilege, and the power of second chances. As Billy stumbles from kindergarten to high school, the film asks: what does it really mean to grow up, and how do our experiences in school shape who we become? And for educators, how can humor, humility, and a willingness to start over help us connect with students—and ourselves—on a deeper level? Through Billy's misadventures, the eccentric cast of teachers and classmates, and the absurd challenges he faces, we see the importance of perseverance, the value of community, and the unexpected lessons that come from embracing failure. The movie reminds us that transformation—whether in a classroom, a school, or a person—often begins with a willingness to be vulnerable, to laugh at ourselves, and to try again. On this first-ever live audience recording of the Better Learning Podcast, host Kevin Stoller is joined by  Brian Schoch and Katelyn Forcucci, along with responses and insights from multiple audience members. Together, they explore what Billy Madison reveals about education, leadership, and the messy, joyful process of learning at any age. Takeaways: Growth in education isn't always linear—sometimes it takes a few detours, mistakes, and a sense of humor to get where we need to go. Privilege and opportunity can shape our educational journeys, but real learning requires humility, effort, and support from others. Teachers and classmates play a crucial role in helping us overcome setbacks and discover our strengths. Embracing failure and starting over can lead to deeper understanding, resilience, and empathy. Laughter and playfulness can break down barriers, build community, and make learning more meaningful for everyone. The live audience's questions and reflections add fresh perspectives, reminding us that learning is a shared, ongoing adventure. Join us for this lively episode as we blend comedy, education, and real-time audience energy to uncover the lessons hidden in Billy Madison's outrageous return to school.

As the year winds down, many teachers find themselves thinking about what they want to change and why it's been so hard to change it. In this episode, I guide listeners through a practical reflection process that helps explain why meaningful change often feels elusive, even when the desire is there. Using real coaching stories and classroom-based examples, I unpack how hidden commitments and assumptions shape our instructional choices. This episode is an invitation to slow down, get curious, and replace self-blame with clarity. If you're feeling tired, stuck, or ready for a different kind of reset, this conversation offers a more humane path forward. Related Resource: Activity—Immunity to Change Model

THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION: THE CULT OF YOUTH AND ANARCHY Colleague Professor Sean McMeekin. This segment covers the chaos of the mid-1960s Cultural Revolution. Mao mobilized a "cult of youth" to destroy the "old"—teachers, books, and cultural heritage—in a bid to purge rivals and reinvigorate the revolution. McMeekin describes this as the "nihilistic side" of communism carried to its logical conclusion: the destruction of civilization itself to build a blank slate. The Red Guards unleashed anarchy that the party could barely control, attacking foreign embassies and even targeting the Soviet Union, which Mao utilized as a convenient enemy alongside the United States. This period allowed Mao to "punch above his weight" geopolitically, despite the domestic ruin. The violence and indoctrination of the young set a grim precedent, specifically inspiring the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia to arm children against their elders. NUMBER 6

PRE-ORDER MY NEW BOOK (OUT MAY 5, 2026)!!! - https://bit.ly/43BquPd Teacher besties… this week I brought on one of my favorite chaotic humans: the hilarious Gerry Potoka, comedian, teacher, and man of mysteriously undefined licensure. In this episode, Gerry and I try to pinpoint what he actually teaches, debate whether PE tests are secretly impossible, unpack his “desk art collection,” and discover that his lowercase k is actually a cursive crime. We also react to a voice memo that had both of us questioning the ethics of having “favorite students,” accidentally stumble into a conversation about charcuterie boards and disease vectors, and play a game of Would You Rather: Teacher Edition that reveals way too much about our tolerance for cafeteria behavior. Takeaways: The shocking subject Jerry may, or may not, actually be licensed to teach. Why his lowercase k started an existential crisis in the teacher's lounge. The voice memo that made us both rethink “favorite students” forever. Kinder field trips vs. middle school dances: the battle of true horrors. A charcuterie board, a stomach bug, and a chain reaction that absolutely nobody survived. -- Teachers' night out? Yes, please!

Student Demographics Are Not Their Mathematical DestinyIn this episode of The Culture Centered Classroom, Jocelynn is joined by Juliana Tapper, M.Ed., founder of CollaboratEd Consulting, to discuss her bookTeaching 6–12 Math Intervention: A Practical Framework To Engage Students Who Struggle.This conversation is grounded in the powerful, practical framework Juliana shares in her book—a framework designed to help educators support students who are working below grade level without deficit thinking, lowered expectations, or exclusionary practices.One of the most resonant ideas from the book, and from this conversation, is this truth: Student demographics are not their mathematical destiny.Throughout the episode, Juliana explains how her framework helps teachers become gatebreakers—educators who actively disrupt inequitable systems, expand access to rigorous learning, and design math classrooms that are equity-centered, culturally relevant, and humanizing.In this episode, we explore:The core principles of Juliana's math intervention frameworkWhy traditional intervention models often reinforce inequityHow teacher beliefs and instructional decisions shape access and opportunityWhat it means to teach math in ways that honor students' identities and lived experiencesHow educators can move from compliance-driven intervention to meaningful engagementThe conversation also connects Juliana's work to The New Teacher Project's article, The Opportunity Myth, highlighting how students are too often denied access to grade-level tasks and rich instruction. Jocelynn and Juliana further ground the discussion in Kimberlé Crenshaw's work on intersectionality, reminding listeners that students experience math classrooms through multiple, overlapping identities.Resources mentioned in this episode:Teaching 6–12 Math Intervention: A Practical Framework To Engage Students Who Strugglehttps://www.collaboratedwithjuliana.com/buyhttps://gatebreakerbook.comJuliana Tapper's Masterclasshttps://www.collaboratedwithjuliana.com/masterclass2The Opportunity Myth by The New Teacher ProjectThis episode is an invitation to rethink math intervention—not as remediation, but as an equity practice. If you're ready to challenge assumptions, expand opportunity, and become a gatebreaker for your students, this conversation—and Juliana's book—are a powerful place to begin.

Send us a textWhat if the resistance you're seeing isn't defiance—it's a clue?In this episode, Dr. Donna Spangler shares the coaching breakthrough that changed everything: She stopped trying to convince teachers, and they started showing up with purpose, ownership, and even excitement.After going through The Resistance Remedy course, Donna realized she wasn't dealing with a skill gap—she was missing the belief gap. Once she started listening for mindset signals like value, belonging, and ownership, her entire coaching approach shifted. Teachers moved from polite compliance to full engagement. They initiated change. They emailed saying they were excited to teach again.She stopped relying on instinct and started coaching with intention. That's when everything changed.Donna's biggest realization? Resistance isn't a roadblock. It's a message. And when you know how to listen for it, you don't just coach better.
