Season 3, Episode 57: Watering the SPICE Flower with Summer R&R

This week, we’re enjoying some much-needed summer R&R with a podcast dedicated to just what, exactly, it means to allow yourself time away from work as you become “present in the moment.” The upcoming school year will unquestionably present us with a ton of challenges unlike any year we’ve ever seen — so this week’s podcast takes a closer look at a self-care mantra I call the “SPICE Flower” to help you prepare for what’s sure to be some rough waters ahead. BONUS: I’ll be offering a live PD totally free to anyone who’d like to join the fun this Friday as part of the Microsoft CUE Global Ed Tech Academy’s summer event schedule. Check out their full lineup of speaker presentations, master class sessions, and online office hours by visiting: https://web.cvent.com/event/1a508d3a-ece4-4894-bc76-e0a9dd49649f/summary

Recorded in bumper-to-bumper traffic to and from my daily work as a high school instructional coach just outside of Washington D.C., Talk to Mee in the Car is where a brainstorm and a good old-fashioned brain dump collide to help educators hone their skills and become leaner, meaner, 21st century teaching machines. Join me for a quick hitting 11(ish) minute episode every Monday for tips, tricks, and strategies to change the game in your classroom TODAY with high-energy, student-centered teaching that actually works.

Because one size fits all professional development simply doesn’t.
