Punk Rock Classrooms Punk Rock Classrooms

In light of the murder of George Floyd and the protests around the country this weekend, we believe it wouldn't be right for us to put out the original episode we had planned for this week and put these events aside for us and our listeners.

We can't pretend to be experts on this. We want to pass the mic this week. So please listen to educators of color and the black community. Find a place to be supportive and help. Reflect on how you as an educator can have an impact.

Be an anti-racist.

Episode Seventeen of the Punk Rock Classrooms Podcast!

"Circle Pits are for Classrooms!"

Don't we want our classrooms and schools to be places that are engaging, active, and moving together with a common mission? Well, then we want them to be just like circle pits.

In this episode Mike and Josh discuss how schools and classrooms are the perfect place for circle pits. Kids up and engaged, moving together, and picking each other up when they "fall" in the learning. We all have a role to play in the pit. You might be the band on the stage or maybe your administrator is. Heck, the kids can even be directing the pit from the stage. The key is that we are all in it together, we are working in unity, and we are their to pick each other up.

So...let open up the pit.

Punk Rock Collaboration 03 with Gabbi Buckley

One of the awesome things we would see in punk is at shows when musicians from different bands would join forces on stage or when one of your favorite punk singers would lend their growl to some gang vocals on another band's record.

We wanted to create that same thing here at PRC.

For this Punk Rock Collaboration, Josh sits down with his wife, Gabbi Buckley, to talk about being a first year principal at the school she went to as a student and having that first year end with COVID-19 school closures.

Episode Sixteen of the Punk Rock Classrooms Podcast!

"Shows Can Happen Anywhere!"

The beauty of a punk show is that you didn’t need a fancy venue or really any venue. Shows in bowling alleys, church basements, house shows, someone’s backyard, a warehouse, an old grain silo, parking garages. It didn’t matter. If you had passion, instruments, and the drive to make it happen...a show was going to be put on.

Education and learning can and should be the same. We don't have to confine what we do or where we teach our students to just the "classroom." There are so many more venues where our students can learn, connect, and grow.

So lets take this show on the road!
