This week's episode takes an in-depth look at the hottest video game on the mobile market today! "Among Us" is a social strategy game where teams of players join an online crew in an effort to repair their spaceship before time runs out. But there's a twist: hidden among the friendly crewmates are a handful of mischievous Impostors, and they're doing whatever they can to sabotage the group's progress without getting caught for their underhanded ways.

DUMP TRUMP! SLEEPY JOE! BUILD A WALL! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! LOCK HIM UP! FAKE NEWS! Are you tired of all the shouting and political rancor of the current election cycle? The U.S. Presidential election is just days away, and our classrooms are invariably going to inherit at least some portion of the political anxiety in the weeks to come regardless of the outcome.

American humorist Mark Twain once famously said "if you always tell the truth, you'll never have to remember anything." And in this week's episode, we're tackling the tough truths that so many teachers face when they're trying to lead with authority in their classrooms while still allowing space for vulnerability among the students that they serve. It's a difficult balance to strike for sure, but in a time when so much is left up to fate and the unknown, here are just a handful of thoughts on how

Just because we're teaching from behind a one dimensional computer screen doesn't mean that we have to become one dimensional teachers! In this week's episode, we're talking about ways to Go the Distance for our students in spite of the physical limitations presented by the remote classroom setting. Tune in for tips to help get your students fired up and reconnected no matter where they are! [NOTE: Apologies for the delay in this posting! I'd tinkered with some automatic sharing settings on the

Season 3, Episode 70: Iteration and Imagination

2020/09/28

Fun fact: "iteration" and "imagination" aren't quite the same thing. Yet to the untrained eye, you might just be able to convince someone of a hidden talent that you don't actually possess! Fake it 'till you make it, right? In this week's episode, we tackle the subtle but important differences between iteration and imagination, and we take a look at how cultivating creativity through simple acts of muscle memory can really help you level up your teaching game.

Talk to Mee In the Car ·

2020/09/21

Back to school night one of the most time honored traditions in all of teaching, but it's also one of the most nerve-wracking moments for many any an educator knowing that they've only got one chance to make a first impression. This week's podcast brings the traditional event into new light due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and offers up a handful of strategies (and a fair bit of positive self talk!) to help you maximize your virtual face-to-face with so many grown ups on a single teleconference.

You laugh, but there's a sweet science to sending and receiving emails -- particularly when you're teaching remotely! As a hybrid classroom teacher and instructional coach, I'm used to toggling between two very different jobs at once. But if we're teaching during a pandemic? There's all the more reason to get your systems straight so that you can maximize efficiency and eliminate unnecessary frustration! This week's podcast offers a closer look at how to solicit and send emails that won't waste

2020/09/07

As a sucker for video games and outdoor activities in a job that typically demands my attention from sunup to sundown, it seems like I'm a prime candidate for one of those fancy Peloton smart bikes. But it turns out there are a ton of instructional strategies that teachers can borrow from these newfangled personal fitness devices! And this week, we're hitting the road to talk about a bunch of classroom teaching tips I've come to appreciate as a result of my brand new cycling obsession. Recorded in

This year's return to school will look a lot different than any year we've seen before. Whether you're teaching virtually or in person in a socially distanced environment, we'll need to make chicken salad out of lemons. Wait -- that can't be right, right? Either way. We'll need to get super creative to find new and innovative ways to help serve the learners in our care.

2020/08/17

Let's face it, gang. Capturing the same spirit of a physical classroom can be an absolute NIGHTMARE when talking into a one-dimensional monitor to a room full of blank stares and muted microphones. But this doesn't have to kill our momentum as we make our way back into the (virtual) classroom with a new group of students for the start of the new school year!

Season 3, Episode 62: The Supermarket Experiment

2020/08/03

"Teachers are essential workers." To me, this sentiment is equal parts humbling and terrifying. The work that we do as educators is clearly vital to the success and psychological safety of those that we serve. But how safe, exactly, are our schools in comparison to other places of employment that have been deemed "essential?" In this week's podcast we're taking a field trip to our local grocery store to see just how similar (or very, very different) the two environments might actually be. Recorded

2020/07/20

Sad news this week, as a dear friend and mentor of mine Rev. Brad Heckathorne, OFM Conv. passed away last week following complications from surgery unrelated to COVID-19. This week's podcast takes a closer look at this man's life and legacy, and the incredible example that so many great teachers can provide to their students and those that they serve. It's a change of pace from our usual routine and a bit longer than our regular episodes, but it's also one of the most personal and heartfelt episodes

What does it look like to reopen schools safely? And shouldn't teachers concerns be taken into consideration as we make plans for the fall? While there are no easy answers, there are plenty of non educators out there trying to convince us that they know what's in our best interest! This week's podcast offers some things for schools to consider before jumping back in to our familiar routine.

2020/07/06

Last week, The American Academy of Pediatrics released a statement indicating that it is their professional recommendation that all schools in the US work towards re-opening their buildings as safely and quickly as possible with the goal of resuming in-person instruction in the fall. Naturally, this announcement has forced educators everywhere to confront the very real prospect of returning to their physical classrooms in just a few short months. But is this the safest and smartest course of action

In today's podcast, we're taking a closer look at how teachers can approach curriculum (re)design over the summer through the lens of equity and social justice in hopes to bring more voices into our classroom offerings. Fair warning, we're going to be talking about some difficult issues -- and it's probably going to push some buttons on both sides of the political aisle. We'll also be talking about operating from a scarcity vs. a surplus mindset, and making some suggestions on how teachers can

Here's a radical idea for an original podcast episode: how can teachers use original podcast episodes of their own to help students make their way through your course content? In this week's installment, we trace the origins of how the Talk to Mee in the Car podcast was born as a peer-to-peer PD tool. Then we pull back the curtain on ways that teachers can leverage similar low-stress, low-tech strategies to supplement their distance learning instructional techniques with easy to "binge learn"
