Teaching Tidbits Anabel Gonzalez

Anabel González shares the message she recently gave at an FBLA Induction. I hope it will inspire you as 2021 comes to a close so 2022 starts and ends successfully.

Anabel González reflects on what’s she learned about podcasting and about herself in the few episodes she’s recorded, and also where the podcast is headed.

Anabel Gonzalez is joined by Rachel Warren, a digital marketing consultant with no connection to education other than being the parent of two school-aged children. She discusses how Covid affected her sons' learning last school year and how they are adjusting to this year's new normal.  The conversation will be enlightening and encouraging to all teachers, but it will also make us keenly aware of the digital divide that persists despite our best efforts to level the playing field. 

Anabel Gonzalez is joined by Rik Rowe (@RoweRikW), a math educator from Massachusetts who coined the hashtag #GoodCallsHome on Twitter after he made positive phone calls a part of his weekly routine - a practice he continues even during remote learning. He will share what got him started and the impact it has made on his students, their families, and him. Warning: this conversation may be life-changing.

Can we be too positive? Anabel Gonzalez is joined by teacher-leader Terry Pimienta (@pimientasra). Terry shares how she empowers her colleagues with nontoxic positivity, not to deny or minimize the current hardships but rather to promote reflection and growth. An inspiring conversation that anyone can relate to, not just educators. 

Anabel Gonzalez shares tips on finding contentment in the present so we can be truly grateful during Thanksgiving season and all year long.
