SEASON 1 FINALE: A CLASH OF QUEENS featuring Carol Rabin & Linda Roggero!

On this seventh episode and SEASON 1 FINALE of Learnt, I sat down in Gibbons Hall with Carol Rabin and Linda Roggero of Notre Dame of Maryland University's GEI Program! We discuss their history of teaching inside and outside of Baltimore City and Baltimore County, the drive to participate in special education even when the chips are down, and the didactic problems with season 4 of "The Wire!" We also delve into the process of starting and maintaining a rigorous teacher preparation program at a university, what it's like to have a second career, and then I blabber profusely about how these two great women shaped my life to this point. Music for this episode was provided by JAUNTER off of his debut album SELF-INFLICTED SOLITUDE! The track is called "Dreamscape," and you can download at jaunter.bandcamp.com! You can reach me at facebook.com/learnpodcast, twitter.com/learntpod, or learntpodcast@gmail.com. I would like to specifically thank the wonderful donors who put themselves out there for a second season of the Learnt podcast! Although we did not hit our fundraising goal, THERE WILL DEFINITELY BE A SECOND SEASON of this show! I love working and interviewing my colleagues too much not to do it. Until December, keep learnin', ya'll!

Episode 2: GLITTER GINGERFOOT with Jordan White

On this episode of Learnt, I sit down with Baltimore City Public Schools Special Educator (and future English 9 teacher) Jordan White...in the home that we share. We discuss the paradox of securing a job as a certified teacher in the city when there are pools of TFA and BCTR candidates...which leads us into a discussion of the AlJazeera editorial "Has Teach for America reached its Waterloo?" Then, we discuss Jordan's time in graduate school, how her students should be treated, what my "My Little Pony" name would be, and whether Jordan is a total Alicia Florrick or a Kalinda Sharma (spoiler: she's such a Diane.)
