This week we have returning guest Leslie Peters with us to discuss what empowerment looks like to her and how it came to be our district theme. Stay tuned for the end for our hot tip of the week!

Recess or lunch? English or History? In this episode, we do a brief catch up about summer and give updates on a few this happening this fall. Tune in to hear our hot tip about how to design learning for your students using a quick and easy this or that!

We are back with season 4! In this episode, Superintendent Alvarado joins us with a welcome back message to kick off a new school year. This year’s theme is Empower and we hope to bring you episodes throughout season 4 that make you feel empowered as an educator (along with some laughter and joy)!

BONUS! We couldn’t end the year without doing a final catch up with the cousins! Hear them share their most influential person, highlight senior events, and what they are most excited/nervous for in the fall on their next adventure. We sure are going to miss them and wish them the best of luck on their new journeys!

In our final episode of season 3, we spend some time debriefing our conversation with Grace Dearborn and talking classroom strategies that are easy to implement. We will be back in August with a new season! Have a great summer☀️

Grace Dearborn is on the pod! This is a MUST listen. We had the best time talking with Grace about her teaching career, systems and structures in the classrooms, and her new book coming out April 30th called The Rules of Engagement (you need this book). Whether you’re a new teacher or a seasoned educator, this conversation will challenge your thinking and hopefully leave you thinking about how you can grow as an educator!

Hot Air for Hope is coming up May 15-17! In this episode, we talk with Amanda Johnson about all things Hot Air for Hope and she gives us insight on how it all came to be and details of the event. It is such a great event and if you’re free the weekend of the 15th, please attend!

Did you know our district has a drone team?! In this episode, we talk about with Joe Sherych and one of his cadets about the drone team at DHS. We learn about how they acquired the drones, practicing, and what competition looks like. You’ll be shocked at how the competitions are structured. Spoiler: Our team dominated the competition!
