    S4.E18 - Reenacting American Slavery and Segregation is wrong, especially during Black History month

    February is a month dedicated to the celebration of Black history, not the highlighting of American history during the time when enslavement and segregation were legal. Reenacting events connected to these time periods has continued to happen again and again. It is a problem and here's why...

    S4. E17 - Why Sing Two Anthems? Joyfully Lifting Every Voice During Super Bowl Sunday

    S4. E17 - Why Sing Two Anthems? Joyfully Lifting Every Voice During Super Bowl Sunday

    It is tradition to sing "The Star Spangled banner", the United States national anthem during the Super Bowl re-game show. In recent years the singing of the Black national anthem, "Lift Ev'ry Voice & Sing" has been added. Some people ask, "Why are two anthems being performed if we are one country?" 

    Listen in for an answer to this question!

    S4.E14 - POV: Your Child is so Well Behaved and other Vague Compliments

    S4.E14 - POV: Your Child is so Well Behaved and other Vague Compliments

    What does it even mean when you say "Your child is so well behaved." to a caregiver?

    Let's chat about the importance of reframing and elaborating on this statement in a way that supports growth for the student and clarity for caregivers.



    Let's expand and deepen our understanding around the concept of "well-behaved". What is the purpose of education and how is a student being "well-behaved" helping accomplish this purpose?

Bringing joy back into the classroom

I recently listened to the two episodes geared for students on joy. I was inspired by your podcast and the work of Dr. Gholdy Muhammad to create a lesson for a group of students that I am currently working with. I presented the lesson to them last week and they LOVED it! The student worksheets you created were a great way to capture what brings them joy and what it means to truly know them. I look forward to seeing how knowing these things about the students will help me to create a more joyous classroom experience for them. Thank you to both of you for your work!
