This week is part two of Hope and Wade King’s discussion on all things student engagement. On this episode, Hope and Wade dive into how engagement ties into personal connections and students’ social/emotional wellbeing. Prior to listening to this episode, we highly suggest listening to Part 1 in Episode 58. 

Lets' talk engagement! Hope and Wade King discuss all things student engagement in this two-part podcast series. This week, they dive into how student engagement leads to academic success.

In today’s episode, Hope and Wade take on a difficult topic: shame. This episode is all about the shame we experience as parents, educators, and humans trying to give it all to everyone and everything. Hope and Wade share their story of struggling with shame with the hope of helping you recognize that you’re not alone in experiencing shame.

Hope and Wade sit down with the one and only Catherine Whitcher, M.Ed from the Master IEP Coach® to talk all things Special Education. It’s a great conversation and is the perfect lead into GYTO’s first-ever Special Education track at this summer’s National Conference!  Learn more about Catherine Whitcher at catherinewhitcher.com.

He is the lead developer of RULER, an evidence-based approach to social and emotional learning that has been adopted by nearly 2,000 pre-K through high schools across the United States and in other countries.  This episode was recorded on Wednesday, May 25th, just one day after the terrible tragedy at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX. We had this recording session scheduled for several weeks, and felt it was important to continue. The result is a very timely and relevant episode that can hopefully help all of us as we navigate this difficult time.  For more information on Marc and Permission to Feel, visit https://www.marcbrackett.com/.

Whether you’re currently in testing season, just finished testing, or about start, it’s very easy to fall into the trap of feeling defined by a test score. In this episode Hope and Wade discuss things that truly define an educator (and it’s so much more than just a test score). We reached out to the Get Your Teach On community of educators to find out what you think define an educator, and we wanted to share some of those responses with you. 

We have both lived in many seasons of life where we mistake busy for successful. But busy doesn’t = effective. As we head into the end of the year or the end of a season, we are often flooded by reflection – what worked? What failed? What will I change for next year? But instead of continuing to stack onto your plate, let’s work to eliminate, prioritize, and plan to execute more…better.

It’s never easy to fall the wagon but exhaustion is overwhelming and burnout is real. Usually falling off the wagon is accompanied with extreme feelings of guilt and/or never measuring up to the expectations that we set for ourselves. But the best part about wagons? They always come back around. So how can we actively use our time away or actively plan time away so we can return better than ever before? Let’s dive in.

This week we are going to continue our conversation about Mindfulness Practices and how that affects social and emotional learning in the classroom. Have you ever considered the difference between sympathy and empathy and the role it plays in our understanding of one another and within your classroom? Sympathy is not just about feeling sorry for someone, it's about doing the work to try to understand each other. Part of being present and mindful is hard, and it takes work and emotional learning that we need to be taught, to be better at communication. -- Need a game plan for your new first year?

So many people see the word 'mindfulness' and disengage. Today we want to rediscover and reframe what mindfulness means, and how it can transform a classroom when it is used correctly and intentionally.

In this episode we want to give you tips and practices that will help set you up to better adjust to what is happening in the moment, and show up for your students. We're passionate about this because we have seen, firsthand, the incredible effect that mindfulness practices can have inside and outside of the classroom. -- Need a game plan for your new first year?

Hey y'all! With Thanksgiving coming up, we're putting aside some time to be with family and friends. Before we return to regularly scheduled programming, we wanted to share with you an episode of the Rise Together Podcast, hosted by our good friend Dave Hollis. Earlier this year, Dave st down with Dr. Linda Cliatt-Wayman to talk about her experiences in education. When Dr. Wayman, a lifelong educator, took over at Strawberry Mansion, it had recently been named in the news as one of the most dangerous schools in America. In less than a year, she had turned the school around using a mix of no-nonsense pragmatism and radical empathy, successfully raising test scores and literacy rates year over year, as well as fostering community with her students. Now, she's bringing her unique approach and incredible wisdom to the podcast to talk about how to reach kids that everyone else has written off, and how you can apply these lessons to hard conversations with your own kids.

If you're going to be an untraditional educator, one that pushes boundaries and isn't afraid to try new things, there's going to be both positive and negative feedback.The question of the day is this: How do we manage difficult colleagues who might be the providers of that negative feedback?
