Conversations

This week, we tackled the question of where to go for support in our schools.  New teachers usually get mentors.  What do others do?  What do you do when you are trying something new and have no one to turn to for support?  We all agreed to try to connect with someone new this week.

After all the teacher and union bashing this week from Waiting for Superman and Education Nation, Terry Shay reminded us, on twitter, that we have to start supporting each other.  He asked us to name some teachers who inspired us.  We decided to carry on this positive conversation on our show.  

Chat:

 For our last show of the season, we discussed Universal Design for Learning and how it works in a classroom.  Ira Socol joined us for this important conversation.  We will be back in September with some great new topics.  See you then!

 This week Sheila Adams and Lisa Parisi discussed what to look for in a new employee.  How do you wind your way through the typical answers to find the perfect candidate for a position?

 This week, while Sheila was away, Maria and Lisa talked about ways to keep the energy and excitement going until the end of the school year.
