Keeping what's inside our head "inside our head" is sometimes necessary when teaching but at what cost? And is there a better option?
We tackle these questions and more during this discussion. @5Silber@froehlichm@bamradionetwork@YaleEmotion https://t.co/cvcbtRONKj #teachers
As a teacher, I know how real the end-of-year overwhelm can be—for us and our students. This episode offers simple, powerful ways to help everyone reset. I hope you find it helpful.

"Fall in love with your life. Wake up early, buy your favorite coffee, go for walks, eat good food, wear what makes you feel confident, and listen to your favorite music. Purposefully create these small moments that make you fall in love with your life." ~Unknown
@brewerhm Thank you for you encouragement and inspiration! It’s great to see someone in person, that I’ve been following for a while. Your story is incredible.
I'd never heard the term readicide before reading this piece. As the father of a middle school student, I see firsthand that motivating my child to read is not easy. Jason provides great suggestions for teachers to motivate reluctant readers.

There will be times this year when we will feel stressed. When we experience this stress, we can keep it hidden or share what we feel with our students and colleagues. Listen as we discuss why sharing is often best.

I always thought I was doing something by simply giving my students a brain break. After this discussion, I learned that it is important to differentiate brain breaks depending on what students need.

We shouldn’t see our opinions as cherished possessions. We should treat them like everyday clothes.
Look at the views in your closet that were trendy once. Discard the ones that look silly to you now.
Wear the ideas that fit you today. Be ready to outgrow some of them tomorrow.
We spend a lot of time focusing on content and teaching strategies and very little on self-regulation. This was a great reminder of the importance of being regulated when working with students who may be unregulated.

On numerous occasions, I have heard my son complain that he would never use the math he is learning in the "real world." He would have loved to have been in the classroom described in this piece. I can see kids getting into this.

"Ripples. When you create a difference in someone’s life, you not only impact their life, you impact everyone influenced by them throughout their entire lifetime. No act is ever too small. One by one, this is how to make an ocean rise." ~Danielle Doby⠀
Unaddressed teacher trauma is becoming a growing issue. Many teachers live and work with trauma every day. In this conversation, we discuss how to address this issue.

Teachers at all levels will find a strategy or two to check for understanding. I was aware of several of these, but many were new to me. From movement to social media to creating comics, there was something for everyone.

With May right around the corner, I thought this would be a good episode to repost. It's good to be prepared for the month of May because, as teachers know, it can be a tough one.
