It’s re-listen time! We’re bringing back season 2’s “Network Connectivity Problems” to revisit how we stayed connected even while our guild “connectivity” was massively in flux! Give it a listen and we’ll be back soon to dish on behind the scenes and discuss current thoughts.

[Emily Coklan (She/her) @TechCoachEm]

This nearly 4 year old ep. was not only a much-needed reprieve from a time fraught with overwhelm, but it opened up our world in the best way possible, paving the way for @CVeitcher, @jennilabrie, and me to talk with so many incredible educators & humans on this podcast. Enjoy!

[GroundedLearnersGuild @GroundEDLGuild]

Remember the days before we had ever thought to have a guest join the GLG? We hardly can either!
This episode takes us back to the epicenter of “Covid response” for a surprisingly laugh-packed chat with one of our favorite people, @kimdarche. Give it a re-listen!

[GroundedLearnersGuild @GroundEDLGuild]

It’s time to shine a light on @jennilabrie’s favorite education episode! Travel back with us to Feb. of 2021 to review “Make it Work Mindset” - a great opportunity to consider all you’ve accomplished & how fierce you’ve been throughout this intense, pressure-packed past 4 years!

[GroundedLearnersGuild @GroundEDLGuild]

Whether you’re shopping, entertaining, or just trying to stay warm, we’ve got a treat for you!
Our discussion episode reviewing “Reading Wars 2: Avoid the Droid” is streaming now! We’re thankful for the opportunity to revisit it. Enjoy!

[Emily Coklan (She/her) @TechCoachEm]

Great pick for, @CVeitcher! Some of our best work ever, and a definite season 4 highlight. We are loving the walk down memory lane and it’s been really impactful to forward-facing learning too! Check it out fam, streaming in all the regular spots.

[GroundedLearnersGuild @GroundEDLGuild]

Turning the page, this next “duo” will feature a Casey favorite, diving into Star Wars, the Science of Reading, and vocabulary instruction.
This one packs in tons of practical strategy alongside plenty of laughs and “bleep bloop bleeps”. Give it a re-listen and enjoy!

[Emily Coklan (She/her) @TechCoachEm]

I loooove this one.
Don’t want to give too much away from the discussion episode, but this one covers how we use and think about data - depending on when you’ve met me in my career, you might find some surprises here!

[GroundedLearnersGuild @GroundEDLGuild]

Here we go!
This is the first of our “redux” episodes and @TechCoachEm’s favorite on education & learning. Enjoy a re-listen & in the next episode, we’ll discuss why this one was special…and what has changed!

[GroundedLearnersGuild @GroundEDLGuild]

We’re back! Even though we’ve deemed S5 our last (for now), we are psyched to bring you this season of nostalgic fun, reflection, and new takes! We run it down for you in this episode:

[Emily Coklan (She/her) @TechCoachEm]

Greetings, math folks- check out this smorgasbord of strategies!

[GroundedLearnersGuild @GroundEDLGuild]

It’s no beast hidden away in an enchanted castle, but modern math definitely gets more than a little misunderstanding.
Let’s look beneath the surface with our incredibly knowledgeable guest, Kelly Green to finish off the 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘩 season of the Grounded Learners Guild!

[GroundedLearnersGuild @GroundEDLGuild]

Our journey into “alternative” roles lovers of learning can pursue takes us next to the Bay Area for a powerful convo with @amandaforssf about serving students & constituents on the school board. Enjoy this fun-filled love letter to teacher/board collaboration - we know we did!

[Emily Coklan (She/her) @TechCoachEm]

@ESiedentopWing So cute!

[Emily Coklan (She/her) @TechCoachEm]

I am ✨so✨ proud of my amazing sister! Katie never stops thinking of ways for students to learn and grow and her classroom is a place of curiosity, kindness, and laughter. It’s a thrill to coach & learn from her; all the more to be related to her - Congrats @KatieJGabor! 💓

The feeling of reflecting on a lesson where students authentically discussed content with each other is *profound*. Hope this “Ocean’s” themed episode helps any/all educators craving the satisfaction of this “heist well done” get closer to achieving it!

[GroundedLearnersGuild @GroundEDLGuild]

If you find yourself daydreaming about what it might be like to “heist” students’ minds and attention back for some quality student-led academic discourse, this episode’s the one for you. Let’s finish this school year with some strong conversations - stream it now!

[GroundedLearnersGuild @GroundEDLGuild]

As promised, it’s Part 2 of our discussion on AI. This time, we’re looking at how AI can be our “Big Hero” and support us, making us stronger, more “super” educators. How do we begin to shift thinking from “Terminator” to“Baymax”? We’ve got you!

[GroundedLearnersGuild @GroundEDLGuild]

For part 1 in our AI series, we need to delve into the social, ethical, and instructional considerations AI presents.
Join us for some Terminator metaphor connections (and our best Arnold quotes) as we explore how to center humanity in classrooms even while AI is ever expanding!

[Emily Coklan (She/her) @TechCoachEm]

@Waxler81 That is so impressive!

[GroundedLearnersGuild @GroundEDLGuild]

As promised, we’ve returned to Abbott Elementary to discuss ways to coach and lead the other side of the divide: highly experienced teachers like Abbott’s go-to consummate pro, Barbara Howard.
How do we honor & inspire those with her level of expertise? Give it a stream & see!

[GroundedLearnersGuild @GroundEDLGuild]

We’re back with our first full-length of ‘24 & visiting our fictional friends at Abbott Elementary as we discuss the needs of teachers at various experience levels. First up: those new to teaching - like Gregory. Catch how we’d help him & others in his shoes wherever you stream!

[GroundedLearnersGuild @GroundEDLGuild]

Could we BE any more excited to finish off our Pop Culture Winter Wonderland with some connections to Friends?
Join us to find out who thinks every teacher has a “Janice”, consider why nobody knows Chandler’s job, & maybe even hear a GLG version of “Smelly Cat”! Streaming now.

[GroundedLearnersGuild @GroundEDLGuild]

Oops, we did it again! It’s a new Pop Culture Winter Wonderland episode centered around the music of Britney Spears! Featuring 6 new connections to education and @CVeitcher’s return to the vocabulary gauntlet! Enjoy it wherever you stream.
