September 16, 2023Chasing BaileyBonus Back-to-School Commentary:  Let Teachers Teach! In this bonus back-to-school episode of Chasing Bailey, we listen as our commentator, Dr. Barbara Stengel, reads “An experienced educator's plea: Let teachers teach!”  This is a short essay Barb was asked to write for the Lancaster Newpapers Sunday edition as school was beginning in August.   The theme of the piece evokes several Chasing Bailey themes (as will be obvious to regular listeners). 00:00  Introduction:  How this Essay Came to Be  Barbara Stengel 2:00    The text read by Dr. Stengel11:30   Concluding remarks and invitation to join Season 2 of Chasing Bailey  The newspaper commentary shared here was published on August 20, 2023 can be found at https://lancasteronline.com/opinion/columnists/an-experienced-educator-s-plea-let-teachers-teach-column/article_0484396c-3d59-11ee-87d7-afaf29023e3e.html  Our Host is Barb Stengel, an emerita professor of educational practice at Vanderbilt University's Peabody College, and also emerita professor at Millersville University. She is an educator, a self-described fan of the Bailey experiment, and an advocate for public schooling but a strong critic of how public schooling has strayed from educational intentions.Between 2012 and 2016, Barb spent one day a week at Bailey, coordinating the school's collaboration with Peabody, and serving as an informal cheerleader while also learning from this remarkable effort. She knew early on it was a story worth telling. So she spent a year interviewing dozens of staff, students, parents, and district administrators who were eager to talk about their experiences. Barb is now retired from Vanderbilt University but she continues to find ways to highlight the work of educators and to criticize (constructively) the figures and forces that get in educators' way.   Chasing Bailey is hosted and narrated by Dr. Barbara Stengel, Vanderbilt University. This episode was edited and co-produced by Samuel Deacon and Brenna Fallon with support by Ruby Mundok.   The executive producer is Dr. Lowery Woodall, Millersville University of Pennsylvania. We have incorporated the following musical tracks:  Rhythm and Blues Shuffle by JuliusH,  Baritone Guitar Blues by Caffeine Creek Band, Blues Garage – Northern Hills by AntipodeanWriter, and Walking with Billie by Michael Korbin.  You can find these tunes on Pixabay.com. New episodes will drop on the first day of the month.  You can find us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon, and Stitcher, and nearlyl anywhere else you find your podcasts. If you appreciate what you hear, please subscribe to Chasing Bailey, leave us a review, share with your friends by word of mouth, and post on social media.   Follow us onInstagram:       https://www.instagram.com/chasing_bailey/    Twitter:           https://twitter.com/chasing_baileyTiktok:            https://www.tiktok.com/@chasing_baileyFacebook:       https://www.facebook.com/Chasing-Bailey-107279178665337/ More information will be available at www.chasingbaileypod.com/home.

 It's been a minute since our last episode … sorry to keep you waiting to hear just why Bailey on Greenwood Avenue was shut down, but I couldn't explain how Bailey closed without the help of Principal Christian Sawyer and Dr. Alan Coverstone who was the Director of the iZone in MNPS and the administrator who got the ball rolling for the Bailey transformation – and those two guys are tough to pin down.   Once we got to talking, I was fascinated by the way Christian and Alan reflected on their experience with Bailey, taking responsibility, not blaming anybody else, but still speaking forthrightly about systemic blind spots, racism, and the political ecology of the district and the state that made it extremely difficult to set a course and stick with it.  As we've said from the very beginning, this is both object lesson and cautionary tale.This is the final episode of Season 1.   In the second season, slated to drop as school reopens in September, we'll be thinking about lessons learned.  We won't leave Bailey behind, but we'll be bringing other schools and other educators into dialogue with the Bailey team and the Bailey experience.  Look for us then as we think more about what teaming looks like in elementary or secondary schools, as we consider the ups and downs of teacher residencies, as we explore how committed educators are able to focus on what's possible despite systemic constraints, and more from families and students.  If you have an idea you'd like to have us explore or some ways you and your colleagues have found to focus on the relations and responsibility that have to be at the center of our educational efforts, please drop a note to chasingbaileypod@gmail.com.   We would love to hear from you!   :00       Introduction,  Barbara Stengel04:00   Bailey and the iZone: Dr. Alan Coverstone, Director of the iZone08:23   Expectations and developments in the first year: Coverstone; Dr. Christian Sawyer, Executive Principal11:00   Hiring teachers of color: Coverstone, Sawyer            14:00   Changes in the second year, teaming and teachers of color:  Coverstone, Sawyer, Stengel19:20   “The Plan” throws a wrench into the Bailey progress:  Stengel, Sawyer, Coverstone21:45   The decision is made to close Bailey and the Bailey experiment unwinds:  Stengel, Sawyer, Coverstone27:55   Commentary on the importance and effectiveness of relational pedagogy:  Stengel28:50   After Bailey closed:  Stengel29:30   But why?                        Administrative failure to understand what was happening                        Fix-it mindset vs. relational perspective                        Short-termism                        Systemic pushback                        Racism                        Leader's naivete64:20   Wrap-up and lead in Chasing Bailey, Season 2.  Barbara Stengel, Christian Sawyer In this eighth episode, there are references to a variety of social, educational and historical news and commentary.

October 31, 2022Chasing BaileyEpisode 6: Allyship at its Best? Black Teachers Lead the Way  Have we unintentionally reinforced a stereotype about Black and white teachers in the last two episodes?  In a majority Black school, do the Black teachers carry the social-emotional weight (and expertise), while the white teachers are the instructional and academic experts?  That's definitely not the story we wanted to tell about Bailey, so in this episode, we address the issue head on, inviting teachers and teacher leaders to talk about how Black and white learned to work together by working together over time and by facing “difficult conversations” about race head on.   We take up the difference between “transactional allyship” at the beginning that morphed into “allyship in action” as trust and understanding developed.   We look at the sometimes invisible labor that Black educators are asked to take up (and what it costs) and the phenomenon of epistemic injustice that Black educators experience all too often.  00:00  Introduction: Allyship across Color Lines, Barbara Stengel03:20   The Danger in Narratives of Erasure Global Literacy Team Leader Whitney Bradley, Stengel07:18   The Costs of Allyship Exceptional Education Team Leader LaKeisha Harding, Math Team Leader Kelly Aldridge Boyd11:57   Invisible Labor  Stengel, Karen Dorris Wolfson, Bradley, Harding19:14   Acknowledging the Critical Role of Black Educators  Stengel, ELA Teacher Charlsie Wigley, STEM Coordinator Julie Hasfjord25:20   But Missing What It Cost Them?   Stengel, Math Teacher Madison Knowe 27:01   Epistemic Injustice  Stengel, Aldridge, Bradley 31:34   From Transactional Allyship to Allyship in Action  Stengel, Bradley, Aldridge37:58   How Leadership Shapes Allyship  Harding, Aldridge, Stengel, Wigley 42:02   The Sawyer-Jasper Model  Stengel, Bradley45:40   Not Afraid to Talk About Race  Stengel, Aldridge, Resident Alex Casarez, Knowe52:40   Allyship at its Best  Stengel, Science Team Leader Sarah Prawel56:57   Next Time:  What Success Looked Like in the Lives of Scholars   In this sixth episode, there are references to a variety of social, educational and historical news and commentary.

In this episode, Prince Taylor, Deputy Director, VA Center for Development & Civic Engagement at the US Department of Veterans Affairs shares how their organization moved a friendly visitor program online and adapted it for remote volunteers.   The Compassionate Contact Corps is a virtual social prescription program where trained volunteers are matched with Veterans that are experiencing loneliness or are socially isolated. The volunteer typically calls the veteran weekly for 15-60 minutes to provide socialization and companionship via phone or video calls. In our chat. Prince shares how the program came about through the enthusiastic advocacy of his local coordinators and how they structured the program for success.  The early data on this pilot program shows that these calls improve the mental health and well-being of veterans, who are referred by their providers to the program. We also discuss how staff prepare volunteers to be successful in the program without overextending themself or transgressing professional boundaries and where they find volunteers to help.

September 30, 2022Chasing BaileyEpisode 5: To Fail Safely:  Teachers' Creativity as the Lifeblood of Learning In this fifth episode of Chasing Bailey, we consider the question of curriculum.  What was the curriculum that powered academic success at Bailey and how did it come to be?  The short answer is that teachers created the curriculum on the fly by focusing laser-like on their students' needs and prior understanding, freed up to do that by a principal who saw brilliance in the teachers and the scholars.  Turns out he was right …  00:00  Introduction:  Teachers' Creativity as the Lifeblood of Learning02:06   What about Curriculum?

As recently as a decade ago, the concept of “value” rarely found its way into discussions about federal and state policymaking about higher education. Now it's unusual to hear a meaningful conversation that doesn't raise the issue. This week's episode of The Key, the second in a three-part series on the value of higher education, examines how politicians and policy makers are responding to growing public doubt about the value of colleges and credentials by defining and trying to measure whether individual institutions and academic programs are benefiting consumers.  Guests include Clare McCann, who until last month was a key member of the Biden administration's higher education policy team, and is now higher education fellow at Arnold Ventures; Will Doyle, a professor of higher education at Vanderbilt University's Peabody College, who studies the government's role in higher education; and Ernest Ezeugo, a federal policy strategy officer at Lumina Foundation who previously worked at Young Invincibles and the State Higher Education Executive Officers association. They discuss how the concept of value is factoring into state and federal policy, what's driving that trend, and whether an overdependence on economic outcomes can lead to unintended consequences.

August 31, 2022Chasing BaileyEpisode 4: Love and Limits: Re-making Culture for/and Learning at Bailey In this fourth episode of Chasing Bailey, we turn to the critical issue of culture for learning and growth.  We think about the transformation that supported the Bailey shift from “persistently dangerous” and academically unmoored in 2011 to solidly “Satisfactory” on the district's School Assessment Measure in 2015.  That movement was spearheaded by Chief of Culture Claire Jasper who, with her “Culture Team,” steered the change based on “Love and Limits.”  00:00  Introduction:  Love and Limits: Re-making Culture for/and Learning at Bailey04:25   What “Love and Limits” Looks Like  Chief of Culture Dr. Claire Jasper, Narrator Barbara Stengel22:10   The Socio-political and Educational History of Bailey Middle School  Stengel, Teacher Leader Whitney Bradley Weathers, Principal Christian Sawyer27:20   Critical, Pragmatic, Idealistic, Progressive Vision  Sawyer29:50   The Culture Team and How it Operated  Dean Yolanda Porter, Social Worker Keith Ekhator, Communities in Schools Coordinator Kevin Haggard, Stengel36:43   Love and Limits but not ‘Muscle':  How to Circumvent the School to Prison Pipeline through Trauma-Informed and Restorative Practices  Porter, Haggard, Ekhator, Stengel, Resident Kenan Kerr, Resident Laura Laufman, Science Teacher Cassie Beasley44:01   An Intentional Culture of Respect, Shared Beliefs, and Laughter Counselor April Roberts, Dean Art Taylor, Haggard, Stengel49:15   Resistance??

July 31, 2022 Chasing Bailey Episode 3: Locating Leadership at the Heart of Teaching and Learning  The third episode of Chasing Bailey looks at how teacher leadership multiplies the point and power of teams in schools.  Four teacher leaders – Kelly Aldridge Boyd , LeKeisha Harding, Whitney Bradley Weathers, and Lindsey Nelson -- describe their experience and outline how they grew into their roles. Host Barb Stengel links the work of these teacher leaders to the actions of the school principal, Christian Sawyer, highlighting how his willingness to let go was as important as his efforts to guide and support.  In the end, we are left to wonder what love's got to do with it.    00:00  Introduction:  Locating Leadership at the Heart of Teaching and Learning 04:37 The Roles and Responsibilities of Teacher Leaders at Bailey, Kelly Aldridge Boyd,  LeKeisha Harding, Whitney Bradley Weathers, and Lindsey Nelson with Narrator Barb Stengel 11:05 How Much Time Were Teachers Leaders Teaching Kids?  Aldridge Boyd, Harding, Bradley Weathers, and Nelson with Stengel 21:36 What Difference(s) Did Teacher Leaders Make for Scholars and Colleagues?  Aldridge Boyd, Harding, Bradley Weathers, and Nelson with Stengel 30:54 How Were Teachers Leaders Recruited, Encouraged, and Developed?  Aldridge Boyd, Harding, Bradley Weathers, and Nelson with Stengel 45:30 Bailey as a Crucible for Leadership Aldridge Boyd, Harding, Bradley Weathers, and Nelson with Stengel 52:19 Principal Sawyer as the “Source” for Teacher Leadership?  Janita Sanders, Conley Flynn, Sarah Prawel, Laura Lauffman, Greta Knudsen 59:35 Love and Learning at Bailey Student Jasmine Summers   At the core of this episode is a 90-minute interview with the four teacher leaders named above.

This second episode of Chasing Bailey explores the first of several characteristics that marked the practice of education at Bailey: that is, teaming. Content teachers, special educators, teacher leaders, paraprofessionals, and residents learning to teach collaborated on both grade level and content-focused teams to encourage the growth and development of every scholar. Host Barb Stengel documents the difficulties in learning to team well and the remarkable successes that resulted from persistence and commitment. She focuses not only on the structure of the teams, but also on the infrastructure that teaming made possible: 1) a relentless focus on students' growth, 2) a consistent care for teachers and all staff, 3) the space for both collaboration and autonomy, and 4) an expansive understanding of inclusion. In the end, teaming at Bailey included educators and scholars in a shared focus on learning for all. There are post-pandemic lessons in this for all of us. 00:00 Introduction: Teaching is a Team Sport 03:52 The Power of the Teacher Team.
