 Join us in this episode to get to know the co-hosts and the purpose of our podcast!

Episode 1: Eye of the Storm

As educators, we’ve all had those high stress moments, days, or even weeks related to distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Finding ways to address those moments and trends has really been key to continuing the productivity for both teachers and students. We want to take this episode to share our struggles and how we’ve found ways to create healthier/more productive days. Connect and reflect with us as we navigate our 3 personal experiences...​​​​​​​

Episode 2:  Maintaining Connections

During this unprecedented times, it is important to maintaining connection: social solidarity while remaining physically distant. What does that mean? Well, by definition... Human connection is an energy exchange between people who are paying attention to one another. It’s finding ways to stay connected and feed your energy with those we are unable to see face to face. We want to take this episode and discuss ways to maintain that connection in this virtual world. 

Episode 3: Oxygen Mask Rule (Part 1)  

Burnout is a very easy trap to fall into during this time. Self care and the way we manage it is vital in order to take care of others. We must take care of ourselves in order to be the best version for others. This means our physical, emotional, and mental health must be a priority. So what have you been doing to keep your physical, emotional, and mental health a priority?

Episode 4: Oxygen Mask Rule (Part 2)

 Now that you’ve got your mask on, let’s discuss and reflect on doing the same for others...how might you help others put on their oxygen mask?

Episode 5:  "Hire character. Train skill. "

 As many school districts enter hiring season, we think heavily about the right person for the job. Time and time again, it has been proven that skills can be taught or transferred, but a person’s character (specifically adults) cannot be changed. So is there a balance? Do we know what “character traits” are important to the role or to the district? And how do we measure that suitability? Join us as we reflect on our experiences and explore these vital questions.
