This week’s episode takes a bit of a departure from our usual routine of high-energy teacher talk to spend some serious thought on the very sobering issue of gun violence and mass shootings. As the world gradually makes it’s way back to pre-pandemic “normal,” once again we’re starting to see devastating reports of unspeakable tragedies in communities all around the U.S. In the past week alone, there have been two high-profile shootings in Atlanta and Boulder, and this week’s podcast takes a closer look on some possible ways that educators can help put a stop to these awful realities of “normal” American life.
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 15 (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.
