Teaching Tidbits

Anabel Gonzalez is joined by Rachel Warren, a digital marketing consultant with no connection to education other than being the parent of two school-aged children. She discusses how Covid affected her sons' learning last school year and how they are adjusting to this year's new normal.  The conversation will be enlightening and encouraging to all teachers, but it will also make us keenly aware of the digital divide that persists despite our best efforts to level the playing field. 

Anabel Gonzalez is joined by Rik Rowe (@RoweRikW), a math educator from Massachusetts who coined the hashtag #GoodCallsHome on Twitter after he made positive phone calls a part of his weekly routine - a practice he continues even during remote learning. He will share what got him started and the impact it has made on his students, their families, and him. Warning: this conversation may be life-changing.
