Sylvia Duckworth - Connecting IRL, Public Speaking, and Sketching out Retirement e33
Saturday Jul 29, 2017
Saturday Jul 29, 2017
Scheduling podcast connections can be challenging. Educators are busy. I first connected with Sylvia back in March to see if she had some time for a convo. She agreed to chat, soon. Between then and now she has been incredibly busy with projects, and conferences, a book release, and a bit of travel. But, patience paid off and a lesson that I have learned vivdly with this episode is that great stories are worth waiting for.

Derrick Schellenberg - 1:1 Classrooms, Authentic Tasks, and The Shifting Core e31
Thursday Jul 20, 2017
Thursday Jul 20, 2017
Initally, when I found out that a 1:1 school existed in my board, I was jealous. I wanted a laptop too. I wanted my students to have laptops. Everything would be more awesome if my school became that school. If only my longview had been informed with more savvy, I am sure I could have found ways to build capacity towards Modern Learning thinking instead of bemoaning an EDU shift that I did not fully understand or appreciate. Derrick made it clear that the tech is not necessarily a guarantor for robust learning experiences. The deeper truth that emerges is that when starting a 1:1 program there also has to be a focus on 1:1 culture shift. He has spent several years working through the details of growth within his tech accelerated context and now after a few starts and stops, shows what teachers and students can do when culture and tech approach harmony.

I reallly appreciate the balance that Arthur brought to our topic of teachers going gradeless. In many ways, I intuit, that any classroom that espouses an uber feedback model before numerical, is logistically complex. The tensions to provide an absolute check box come from many constituents. And often, the gains of marks based assessments are frought with equity and cultural problems. In my personal pursuit of implementing a shift from numerical dependency I can see how the conversation is much broader and deeper than just not providing a mark for every assessment. This September, as I wrestle through my own learning in this experience, I will be glad to reach out to Arthur and the TG2 Facebook page for support.

Jay Dubois - Setting the stage, Choice, and Transformation e27
Thursday Jun 22, 2017
Thursday Jun 22, 2017
Jay and I made fast friends, in truth it would be difficult not to be. His energy is infectious and his view of education draws you in and busts out the wows at every turn. He is rockin' authentic learning experiences that are cleverly accelerated with digitools. Believe me, his fearless pursuit of the fringes of EDU inspires me to up my game; he's pushing some of the most critical pieces of modern learning in front of elementary kids and they are totally blowing the roof off of it.

Theresa Meikle - Confidence, Passion, and New Beginnings e26
Tuesday Jun 06, 2017
Tuesday Jun 06, 2017
I got a bit ramped up for this convo and I totally forgot to greet Theresa at the beginning of the podcast. Sorry Theresa ... but it's easy to get happy hanging with her. The joy she shares from her stories and experiences in education are what connected me to her in the first place, way back in the day when I was a part of our school board new teacher training. Then, like now, I felt her passion for teaching, learning, and student wellness in every part of our conversation.

Jonathan So - Fatherhood, the Teacher/Parent, and Feedback e25
Thursday Jun 01, 2017
Thursday Jun 01, 2017
It took a bit longer than usual to push this episode out - life can be like that. My family is pretty busy and in the end, I gotta follow their lead ... and it seems like the same deal for Jonathan So. He, like me, is trying to rock the intersection of Fatherhood and Educator. And along the way, we have found that the lessons our own children teach us can sometimes prove to be the most valuable professional development in town.

Pam Agawa - Humility, Truth, and Family e24
Tuesday May 16, 2017
Tuesday May 16, 2017
Pam honoured me with an honest and authentic peek into her teacher story and personal narrative. In it, she shares what drives her to leap from the intersection of her wisdom, pedagogy, family, heritage, and her vision for education to be a connector of communities inside and outside of school.
