Top Tenn Teaching Derrick Crabtree

In this episode, we talk with principal, speaker, and author Adam Dovico about fostering student leadership and equity in education. 

In this episode, my dad, Mike Crabtree, and I chat about the state of education, especially on the heels of the pandemic. 

Today’s episode comes to you from a distance. We are both recording in separate locations so that we can be protected from COVID-19 and we are talking all about distance learning. Like so many districts around the state of Tennessee and around the country, our local school district is closed until the end of the month, but we will be implementing distance learning. Today we are going to be talking about how to make the most of distance learning and how to make it work for you and your students. We hope you will find this episode useful as we all navigate uncharted waters in the weeks to come and that you leave today’s episode feeling a little less overwhelmed about what distance learning might look like.

We’re baaaaack! We know you have probably missed us-don’t tell us if you haven’t- but sometimes life gets in the way. It is almost like returning to school after the summer, except it’s March. Oops. We have both had huge life changes since last season, but we are back and excited to bring you some fun content to get you through the rest of the school year. Welcome to season 3!!!!

On today's episode, we are talking with Caroline Roberts Davis. Caroline is currently finishing up her second year of teaching 6th grade science at the same middle school that she attended as a student. Caroline shares with us the ups and downs of being a new teacher, what her experience has been like, and what some common misconceptions of new teachers are. We really enjoyed this conversation and appreciated the honesty that Caroline brought to the table.
