Every teacher understands the need for students to be engaged, but what if they constantly find themselves staring back at blank stares?

In addition to proper planning, lesson delivery is key to getting kids motivated to learn and do the hard work to improve. Here are actionable strategies that teachers can use today to keep their students excited throughout the class period. How to be an engaging teacher

| 09 Sep 2019 | TnT 77 How to plan so you're teaching everything you're supposed to | 00:24:22 | |
For many new teachers, lesson planning ALONE is a huge source of stress and anxiety. Not only is there a billion other things to do as a teacher, but there's the tiny detail of knowing how and what to plan. Yes, you definitely learned about it and even did some practice lesson plans. But now that you're faced with your own students (and possibly teaching a grade that you weren't prepared for), it's a whole new ballgame. In this episode, I don't tell you how to plan - I explain the mindset and big-picture view of planning an entire year, then down to quarters, units, and daily lessons.

Do you have piles of assignments that need grading? Are you feeling overwhelmed by it? You're not alone!

| 02 Dec 2019 | TnT 89 5 crucial steps to fix your lessons when they're not working | 00:25:15 | |
No matter how much time we spend planning a lesson, there WILL be lessons that don’t work quite how we had anticipated. This is especially true if you’re a new teacher because you’re still figuring out lesson delivery and pacing, student engagement, and classroom management. But how do we handle this when we're supposed to stay on pace but only a few of your students are getting it? On today’s episode, I’m going to cover five steps to take when your lesson isn’t working out so that you can regroup and correct your course.

| 29 Oct 2018 | Ep 29: How to handle an angry parent email | 00:32:33 | |
Every teacher will receive at least one (if not more) emailed from disgruntled parents. Regardless of who's at fault, it can be a nerve-wracking experience and have lasting negative effects if not handled properly. How can we address the email in a diplomatic way without having to compromise our class policies and dignity? I provide 10 steps on how to handle the email so that the situation doesn't escalate to the point where the parent becomes angrier and you set off red flags with your administration. Steps for handling an angry parent email: 1) Investigate the issue the parent is upset about. 2) Take a moment to understand the parent’s perspective. 3) Have another colleague take a look at it. 4) If you feel compelled to, draft your angry reply in a different medium 5) Give your principal a heads-up. 6) No matter what, you'll need to respond, but stay cool. 7) After crafting that email, save it as a draft and come back to it when you’re not upset. 8) Don’t blame or lecture the student the next day. 9) Find a way to prevent this issue from popping up again. 10) If you’re delivering unhappy news, have another colleague take a look at it.

| 07 Jan 2019 | Ep 39: Six aspects of teaching that always need improvement | 00:49:29 | |
New teachers often feel stressed out and depressed their first few years. Aside from struggling with so many aspects of the job and worrying about job security and pay, they often feel like they're doing a horrible job. Teaching is definitely tough and it can be difficult to know how to improve, but the best way to do it without going insane is to work on one aspect of teaching at a time. Here are six areas that will make the most impact, but you should only work on ONE per semester. Don't overwhelm yourselves with trying to do too much! Once you've chosen which aspect you want to work on, go back to Episode 38 to learn how to break it down into manageable steps. Six areas of improvement

| 15 Oct 2018 | Ep 27: Differentiation doesn't have to be difficult | 00:59:03 | |
All teachers know that they need to differentiate, but what does that look like in a classroom? During the planning stages? In real time? How can a teacher be expected to plan for students performing two grades below and those performing two grades above in the same class? Laura Kebart describes how this doesn't have to be a daunting task, and gives tips on how to streamline and even make grading simpler!

Are you one of those teachers who’s a little more introverted or serious, and maybe not categorized as the “fun” teacher? Do you wish that your students were more engaged and that you had more buy-in from them without having to put on a dog and pony show?

| 30 Sep 2019 | TnT 80 Teachers drowning in student loan debt can save so much money by doing this | 00:38:36 | |
Student loan debt is no joke, and it creates so much anxiety for just about everyone, ESPECIALLY newer teachers. Programs like Teacher Loan Forgiveness promise to help with this burden, but it barely helps to bring down the tens of thousands of dollars in debt that teachers have. And misinformation about the best way to pay back these loans results in teachers losing thousands of dollars. Why doesn't anyone tell us about this? Why is it so complicated. In this second part of my conversation with Travis Hornsby from the Student Loan Planner, we get down to the details, and he goes as far as to crunch some numbers so that you can get a really clear idea of just how much you can save.

| 02 May 2023 | Ep 119 End-of-the-year prep for teachers - how to survive without hating life | 00:14:18 | |
The end of the school year is both a time of excitement and dread. Excitement because we’re almost at summer break and dread because things can get really hectic. And it can be super stressful if you don’t plan for it correctly because there are so many factors that are out of your control that throw a wrench in your normal school routine. In today's episode, I’m covering how to prepare for the end of the school year so that it’s more manageable and possibly even enjoyable. Still figuring out lesson planning?

| 27 Aug 2018 | Ep 20: How your mindset becomes your reality in the classroom | 00:25:21 | |
It's no secret that teaching is a rewarding but difficult job. Many teachers go into the career only to become overwhelmed, disillusioned, disheartened, and lost. Could have this been prevented? Possibly, but only if they had examined their own mindset and determined if they were truly ready for the challenges of teaching. Questions to ask yourself:

| 04 Nov 2019 | TnT 85 How to set yourself up for success with station rotations | 00:37:39 | |
In the last episode, we covered why teachers should incorporate station rotations into their teaching, the logistics of planning for them, and how they can help with differentiation and classroom management. But if you've done them in the past and they were a disaster, chances are you didn't set them up properly. Today I bring Laura Kebart back to discuss how to use stations for small group instruction as well as how to train your students so that your stations are a success.

| 25 Nov 2022 | Ep 101 Planning a lesson that ensures student learning | 00:16:27 | |
So you’ve survived the first couple of months of school (or maybe you were just thrown in), and you’re figuring out what you need to teach. If you’re lucky, you’ve been handed a curriculum, but that doesn’t mean you know where to start. In this episode, I’m going to go through the lesson planning process so that you not only figure out what you’re supposed to be teaching but help you figure out how to tell if your students are actually learning.

Effective feedback is KEY to moving students forward, but how what does it actually mean to give good feedback? What does it look like? How can you tell if it's working? Simply correcting students won't lead to improved student outcomes, so here are five steps to up your feedback game. In Part 4 of this 4-part series on feedback, I discuss how to best give feedback so that your students act on it and improve.

| 03 Dec 2018 | Ep 34: Your students have the right to fail | 00:25:47 | |
This idea of students needing to fail, it seems counterintuitive, right? But what if it's actually in the best interest of the student? Why should a teacher "allow" a student to fail a class? While teachers are charged with ensuring that all students learn and grow academically, there are times when it's just not possible for a student. In this case, letting a student fail gives an accurate picture of their abilities and deficiencies, and allows them to get the proper support they deserve. Still figuring out lesson planning?

| 09 Jul 2018 | Ep 11: How some administrators use data for hiring | 01:04:34 | |
Hiring new teachers based on a resume and a gut feeling during an interview can sometimes result in someone who is a wrong fit for the school.

| 05 Aug 2019 | TnT 72 The many advantages of being a second-career teacher | 00:26:16 | |
Many new and current teachers came to the profession as a second career. They take the plunge for many reasons and find themselves in a tough but completely fulfilling job. Some question whether or not it's a good idea or if they have anything to offer in education, and others are worried about the age gap between them and teachers coming straight from college. On today's episode, I discuss not only why many teachers make the switch, but I also showcase the advantages that second-career teachers have, as well as how they can be successful in education.

| 27 May 2019 | TnT 62 How to repair relationships with students that misbehave | 00:24:25 | |
It’s hard to get past someone who annoys you - whether it’s a child or adult. And we tend to place blame on circumstances beyond our control, such as parent involvement or accountability, lack of consequences from the administration, the apathy of the student. But what did WE do to mitigate those circumstances? How have WE tried to repair the relationship in order to get a different outcome? In this episode, I discuss how to deal with that ONE student you’ve been battling with all year as well as how to be more proactive in the future so that you can deal with those types of students head-on.

| 24 Jan 2023 | Ep 108 How to finally find happiness in teaching | 00:13:19 | |
A lot of teachers are truly dissatisfied and fed up with teaching for many reasons, but one of the main ones is student behavior. Students, their parents, other staff, and admin can definitely behave in ways that trigger us and make us want to give up completely. Recognizing when a situation is triggering us and our ego-based responses is crucial. In this episode, I explore what this means and how it can manifest itself in the classroom. Understanding and working on being less reactive can help enable beneficial outcomes in the classroom and beyond. Still figuring out lesson planning?

| 11 Mar 2019 | TnT 48 Student feedback can completely change your teaching | 00:19:39 | |
You can almost consider students as your “customers” in that they’re the ones that have to sit through your lesson, participate in your activities, and prove whether or not they learned anything. While you don't have to entertain them, I’ve mentioned several times that having engaging and relevant content is crucial and that every activity, handout, lecture, etc. you do has to result in learning. So in addition to having colleagues observe us and give us feedback, it’s important to know the temperature and climate of your classroom. And the only way to truly know is to survey your students. This is Part 2 of my 4-part series on feedback. If you missed the first part on getting better feedback from your colleagues and administrators, be sure to listen to it here.

A topic that many job-seeking teachers are asked about is classroom management. Every school has its own philosophy and mission in terms of behavior, but some take it a step further.

| 07 Oct 2019 | TnT 81 How to support LGBTQ educators and students in our schools | 00:37:11 | |
Even though it's 2019 and it seems like there would be more acceptance and inclusion of the LGBTQ people, there is still a lot of work to do.

Having difficulty managing behavior in the classroom as a newer teacher? This video explores how to break the cycle of cause and effect between student behaviors and your own. Learn to be honest with yourself about your presence in the classroom, as well as how you cope with confrontation and conflict. Find out how to be a firm but a caring presence that is respected by students. But I also delve deeper into the psychological side of things. I talk about how student behavior is influenced by past experiences and coping mechanisms, and how the teacher's behavior is also influenced by past experiences. I explore the idea that student behavior is not always personal and that students will always test the teacher's emotions. It's important to address these underlying issues in order to effectively manage classroom behavior. Still figuring out lesson planning?

Let's be real - teaching is a tough job, and it's not uncommon to feel like throwing in the towel at times. Between unsupportive administrators, heavy workloads, angry parents, disrespectful students, and external pressures from policymakers, it can be overwhelming to find joy in teaching.

In this episode, we're exploring five alternatives to quitting teaching that can actually help reignite your love for the profession.

| 14 Oct 2019 | TnT 82 What teachers can do to foster LGBTQ inclusivity in the classroom | 00:39:14 | |
New teachers often come into teaching already supporting LGBTQ rights and have good intentions to demonstrate this support but can fall short on implementation. How can they start eradicating cisnormativity and heteronormativity that has been institutionalized for many students? How can they create a safe space that goes beyond rainbow flags and stickers? In part 2 of my interview with Cody Miller, we continue to discuss how to support queer educators in our schools, how to deal with derogatory slurs involving being gay, and how non-English and history teachers can do their part to be LGBTQ allies.

| 02 Sep 2019 | TnT 76 How to upgrade your group work strategy | 00:28:05 | |
Many teachers have students work in groups on assignments, but there are also quite a few that limit it. They don’t like the potential for chaos and bad behaviors, so for the most part, they avoid it. However, it’s impossible to keep students on-task and in silence for an entire class period. Those students may seem like they're paying attention but are in fact playing the role of a student who’s working. They’re tuning out from the lack of opportunity to talk to their peers. This is where group work also helps! In this episode, I’ll discuss the pros and cons of cooperative learning, as well as my tips for how to make it not only just WORK in your classroom but increases student achievement.

Teachers receive a LOT of feedback, and as a new teacher, how you deal with it will determine how successful you’ll be. But what is it about receiving constructive feedback that makes us shut down or ignore it? How do we take something that, from the giver, was well-intentioned, and transform it into an attack? The teachers that are the most receptive to feedback and TAKE ACTION are the ones that grow and improve the fastest. In Part 3 of this 4-part series on feedback, I discuss how to best receive feedback so that you don't shut down when you hear it.

Many teachers today can trace their successes and difficulties in the classroom back to their own experiences when they were students. Unfortunately, if those experiences were negative or traumatic, that can affect how they interact with their current students. In this episode, I discuss how teachers’ past experiences in school can have a negative effect on their current teaching practices. I explore how these experiences can lead to students feeling overlooked or unheard, and how teachers can become more aware of their own biases. Still figuring out lesson planning?

Math tends to be one of those subjects that kids either understand and love or are completely befuddled by and hate. New math teachers often find themselves struggling between teaching procedures versus concepts. Unfortunately, there's still a lot of controversy in terms of which way leads to greater student success. In this interview, Robert Kaplinsky of openmiddle.com lets us in on why Common Core is given such a bad rap, the concept of Open Middle Math (and if you’re a math teacher who hasn’t heard of it, you’re in for a treat), and then we both get into the complicated discussion of grading.

Should you lie? What if you said, "I don't know?" Would you look like an idiot? Rob Fulk asks me some compelling interview questions that I wasn't necessarily ready for (but did my best to think on the fly), and he gives advice to new teachers on how to answer difficult questions.

| 18 Nov 2019 | TnT 87 How to tackle organization when you're naturally disorganized | 00:22:53 | |
Imagine if teaching only involved the part where you're interacting with students. Things would be much easier, right? But the reality is that there are so many facets of teaching that pull at us, and unless you're hyper-organized, it can be easy to get overwhelmed by it all. I know that there are many of you that are FAR more organized than I am, but I really want to help out the rest of us that are too frazzled or absent-minded to be that way. Through a lot of trial and error I’ve been able to keep my organization in check and at a manageable level, and I wanted to share some tips I’ve learned along the way.

| 31 Dec 2018 | Ep 38: Make one small change for a huge impact | 00:26:23 | |
Second semester or the time after Winter Break is a great time to make adjustments in your teaching. You know your students and have some systems in place, so why not pick something small but significant to change and improve? These small changes add up over time and will lead to longer lasting results. So here’s the process I’ve found to be successful time and again, as well as what I plan to adjust this semester.

| 10 Jun 2019 | TnT 64 How to fit in exercise when you're a busy and overwhelmed teacher | 00:57:24 | |
Love this show? Become an AWESOME SUPPORTER! Finding time to exercise when you've got a 9-5 job can be tough. The thing is, teachers don't just work 9-5, they often take work home, which means that there's even less time to exercise. How can we fit this in when we're exhausted at the end of the day, don't really like to exercise in the first place, or are burnt out from trying? In this episode, Sheri Traxler and I discuss how to find movement that you enjoy sneaking in some exercise, as well as how to craft your own program if you can't stand those pre-made ones.

| 22 Oct 2018 | Ep 28: Maximize the impact of your lesson planning | 00:20:24 | |
Many teachers come into the profession with one of two extremes - they have no idea what they're supposed to teach and have to plan everything themselves, or they're given a completely scripted and planned curriculum and have no autonomy. Both of these scenarios can be frustrating especially when these teachers are given little to no direction. Here are three areas to consider when determining what your students are expected to learn and demonstrate. They'll help you get a better picture of your curriculum and make the most of your lesson planning. What's your why?

| 10 Dec 2018 | Ep 35: Stop obsessing about what you SHOULD be doing | 00:21:40 | |
It’s not unusual for a teacher to suffer from a case of the “shoulds” – a ubiquitous and harmful affliction that affects ALL teachers (ok…everyone). When images of Pinterest-perfect classrooms and abundant sharing on social media are paired with less-than-ideal student work or a miserable teaching environment, teachers start thinking about the things they should be doing.

In this final installment of my series on examining student data, we look at how preassessment data and Lexile scores can really illuminate gaps in learning for students in any subject area. Getting baseline data in the form a preassessment can help teachers know what skills students come prepared with, and what they may need to reteach. Tie this together with Lexile scores, and teachers can fully understand their students' ability to access grade-level material.

On the first day of school, neither you nor your students know much about each other. However, looking at their demographic data prior to that initial meeting can help you get a clearer picture of their particular circumstances. From their socioeconomic status to their English language proficiency, you can use this data before the school year starts to start planning culturally responsive lessons. Here are the particular data points I look at and how I use that information to guide my teaching.

Every teacher is faced with one or several students each year who just refuse to do any work. No matter what they try, these students slouch in their seats and avoid all attempts to produce any evidence of learning. Many teachers give up on these students eventually and just let them fail. But what if they didn't? Here are some reasons why YOU as their teacher deserve much more from these students and why you should keep persisting until they do. Still figuring out lesson planning?

Love this show? Become an AWESOME SUPPORTER! Teachers often develop poor eating habits from the limited time to eat and the constant barrage of work. Think about how you work while eating, have barely any time to really enjoy your food, eating while supervising, etc. How can we possibly enjoy our food?

Many new teachers get to the point where they're just DONE with their teaching situation, or maybe just teaching in general. While most of you are still excited about teaching since you've just started, there are still some of you that are already overwhelmed and just over it all and are wondering what to do next.

Teachers often spend quite a bit of time polishing and perfecting their resumes, but is that what really gets them a job? What if a teacher has limited experience - do they still have a shot when they're up against more seasoned veterans? Resumes are only one small factor in the hiring process (but PLEASE spellcheck!), and personality and fit are the biggest ones.

| 15 Jul 2019 | TnT 69 5 strategies for creating an engaging lesson | 00:23:51 | |
All teachers know that student engagement is essential for successfully teaching a lesson. Why? Because students don't necessarily want to learn and participate in school, and as a result, miss out on mastering important skills. When students are engaged, they switch on their natural curiosity and are self-motivated to learn, explore, and solve problems. But it's up to teachers to create optimal learning experiences to foster this passion for learning, which can at times be difficult to do. Here are five tried-and-true ways to create lessons that keep students engaged and hooked from the start to finish. 5 ways to create an engaging lesson or unit
