    Humans Who Teach: A Book Talk with Dr. Shamari Reid

    Teachers are socialized to view themselves as "superhuman.” They are celebrated when they work long hours, sacrifice personal time, and go "above and beyond" in their roles. In this episode, Dr. Shamari Reid, Assistant Professor of Justice and Belonging in Education at New York University and Dr. Marcelle Mentor, Director of Educator Preparation and Assistant Professor in the College of Education and Human Development at UMass Boston join us to discuss Dr. Reid’s book Humans Who Teach: A Guide for Centering Love, Justice, and Liberation in School. Together we explore how celebrating the diverse identities and experiences of teachers and acknowledging their full humanity creates supportive environments that foster the growth and well-being of teachers and their students.

    Call Back Conversation: Cultivate Curiosity Through Questioning

    Questions come naturally to young children: Why is the sky blue? Where do butterflies go in winter? As they grow older, students need invitations to cultivate curiosity and teachers who are able to teach the skill of questioning. The Question Formulation Technique builds this lifelong learning skill, teaching students how to ask their own questions. In this episode we're taking a journey into our podcast archives to a conversation with Dan Rothstein, Luz Santana, and Sarah Westbrook from The Right Question Institute to discuss how the QFT works and what we can do to cultivate curiosity through questioning.

    Back to School: Thrills and Challenges

    The start of the school year can be full of hope and optimism, but our experiences as teachers highlight the need for flexibility and adaptability as we navigate the unpredictable nature of the classroom. Our guests, instructional coaches Maria Underwood and Dr. Laura Rigolosi, discuss the challenges of managing competing priorities, particularly in the beginning of the school year. They share how they struggled to balance getting to know their students, assessing their needs, and completing administrative tasks, all while trying to deliver effective lessons.

    Call Back Conversation: Classroom Connections

    Establishing and forging meaningful relationships with students at the start of the school year can be challenging — students often have diverse backgrounds, needs, and personalities, and they need to feel a sense of trust in order to be vulnerable about their learning needs, their personal opinions, and their challenges. In this episode we're taking a journey into our podcast archives to a conversation with Kelsey Hammond, a former ELA teacher and Lead Professional Development Coach, and Victoria Fernandez, a former Math/Special Education teacher and Lead Professional Development Coach about the importance of building relationships that foster a positive learning environment.

    Your Voice Matters: Planning Units, Lessons, and Questions

    Understanding the day-to-day experiences and challenges faced by teachers in their classrooms is crucial for providing relevant and effective professional development. At the end of every episode, we say, “Your voice matters, send us your education questions, concerns, and promising practices and we’ll address them!” Today, we discuss the importance of starting with a clear unit plan as the foundation for effective lesson planning, especially in co-teaching environments, the ways a lesson planning toolbox of proven strategies can leverage precious time, and how complex questions engage English language learners in our classrooms.

    Cultivating and Sustaining Wholeness in Education

    Graduate students in education often leave the educational domain with less confidence and a fractured sense of self. Our guest in this episode, Dr. Emily Affolter, shares from experience and recent research the importance of respecting individual needs, fostering flexibility, and moving away from rigid, binary thinking in education in order to nurture student confidence and creativity. We discuss practices educators can adopt to maintain their well-being and sustain their passion for teaching, and strategies that can be implemented in graduate education programs to enhance the confidence and self-efficacy of future educators.

    Beyond the Page: Reimagining Texts Through Creativity

    The episode explores Literacy Unbound — an initiative at the Center for Professional Education of Teachers (CPET) — which aims to reimagine traditional approaches to teaching reading and writing through play, creativity, and multiple modalities. Our panel discusses how to bring the practices of an arts-infused, project-based curriculum developed around shared texts to increase student engagement and build empathy, to your classroom, particularly for students in challenging circumstances like those at East River Academy (ERA) on Rikers Island. Special thanks to ERA's Principal, Tonya Threadgill, Dr. Jen Gowers, and Dr. Jameon Moss for your voices!
