Dr. E's SUPER reads‪!‬ Jay Eitner

It’s bittersweet to say that episode 5-0 is my last one. 50 books - 150 takeaways - countless tidbits of information. I’ll be reviewing my own book, but I also share my new podcast rolling out called “Assholes in Education”. The podcast will be focusing on teachers, administrators, colleagues, and companies that are, well, assholes. This podcast will not be for the weak at heart, as I’ll be covering every type of person ranging from “do-nothing teachers who make their own schedules to make themselves feel important to pedophiles to drunks to the useless. I am not sparing anyone or any organization. There are some really terrible and superficial people and organizations in the education space, and I’m going to tell you about them. All of them.

We’ve all heard horror stories from the Principal’s office. This is not that book. This book is full of smiles, tips, and tricks on how to handle life in school… most importantly in a positive way.

Crucial conversations could happen on a daily basis in your life, both in and out of the classroom or office. Knowing what to say and how to say it with parents, students, colleagues, or bosses is clutch for many reasons, but mostly for a sane piece of mind. Have a listen as to how you can navigate these conversations and place you in the “amazing communicator” slot.

Everyone could use a book full of educational magic and quotes to live by. Dave & Shelley Burgess put together such a book in 2014. Over 70 educators from all walks of life in a myriad of positions based in schools of various socioeconomic levels. This book will put a smile on your face. Check out my review of it.

Creativity and schools have often gone hand in hand over the past decade as we move onward in a progressive educational system, breaking away from the school designed to put students immediately into working factories or some other form of labor. Sir Ken breaks down the history of where we were and 8 chapters on where we are going and where we need to be. An asset for all administrators and those considering to go into the field.

Change in school is always hard, but technology infusion has made it harder. This episode breaks down the challenges of today’s learning and offers meaningful and achievable solutions to overcome them.
