Punk Rock Throwback

Josh and Mike are taking a little summer vacation so here is one of their favorite episodes!

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 Reflection 27 - Gabbi and Josh: What to Keep and What to Leave Behind

On this Punk Rock Reflection, Mike shares two separate stories. One is professional and one is personal but they both taught him the same lesson. Sometimes it's okay to stop. We don't need to chase every thing, push as hard as we can, or do more than healthy. That is true for us all as educators and as humans.

So, pump the brakes, slow down, and as a wise man once said "life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

Intro/Outro music - "A Walk" by Bad Religion
