3.1 Equity in Teaching

Episode 12

Sunday, April 16, 2023 • Duration 04:36

New format for episodes. New production.

Episode 201- New Year 2021

Episode 11

Monday, January 25, 2021 • Duration 25:47

It is the new year and we have finally ditched the dumpster fire that was 2020. A lot of people have new year's resolutions at the start of every year. In fact, according to finder.com, about 74% of adults in the US make a new years resolution. The most popular of these resolutions revolve around: health, self-improvement, money, family, love, and/or career.

So I wanted to take a quick break on the teaching side of things and focus on how we can keep our resolutions.

So I want to dive into the success and failure rates that I found on discoverhappyhabits.com. After the first week of January, 75% of the people who make a resolution are still successful in sticking with it. After one month, that number drops to only 3 in 5 people. After 6 months, that number drops to 4%. Overall, by the end of the year, about 9% of people feel successful in their resolution goals.

Why do you think so many people fall short when it comes to their new year's resolution?

Episode 108- President

Episode 8

Monday, November 9, 2020 • Duration 37:40

In honor of the presidential election here in the US, we wanted to talk about the true impact a sitting president has on us educators. So I want to break this episode into two parts: the history behind presidents and their impact on education today, and then I want to end with a wishful wishlist of what positive changes we would like to see in the next four years.

Episode 107- The Male Teacher Dilemma

Episode 7

Monday, October 12, 2020 • Duration 32:25

We need male teachers because the field is dominated by females (75%). If you Google statistics around this fact, you’ll see an outcry for positive male role models, the need for male influences in student’s lives, and the need to balance “gender inequality.”

But the dilemma comes from the role that male teachers fill. 1) male teachers are treated differently than female teachers in the class and by parents and staff. But, at the same time 2) male teachers are subject to higher scrutiny and extra-judicial circumstances than females.

So on the podcast today, I want to decide if these two claims are true.

Episode 106- Social Media

Episode 6

Monday, October 5, 2020 • Duration 28:27

According to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, “Surveys show that ninety percent of teens ages 13-17 have used social media. Seventy five percent report having at least one active social media profile, and 51% report visiting a social media site at least daily. Two thirds of teens have their own mobile devices with internet capabilities. On average, teens are online almost nine hours a day, not including time for homework.”

So let’s get this out of the way now: social media is and, for the seeable future, will be a part of our everyday life. That includes in the classroom. So we won’t be discussing whether or not it is a good or bad thing, but rather, what it looks like in the classroom and how we can better steer it in the right direction.

What are some ways we can avoid this or deal with this when it happens?
