We Teach Inspired!!

By Wilkie V. Law III M.Ed

Teaching is one of the most difficult professions on the planet. It is something that you feel down to your bones. It takes energy and devotion to find success in the classroom. Most importantly it takes inspiration-- for someone or something to breathe life into us. We Teach Inspired is a podcast that will breathe life into teachers by interviewing stakeholders within this profession to glean the wisdom that has been passed down through the years. We hope this podcast can be a light for educators no matter where they are to guide them on a path that keeps them in the classroom!

Advocating For Ourselves as Teachers w/ Rae Hughart

Administrators can't figure out why teachers aren't understand what they are asking them to do and teachers can't understand why administrators aren't seeing the big picture. That is what Rae Hughart CXO of the Teacher Better Team told us on the podcast this week. This is part 1 of 2 with Rae as we catch up with her for the first time in a few years and learn what her experience has been working with teachers, students, and admin over the past few years. Rae tells us not just about the communication problems she sees, but also that we as teachers are not advocating for ourselves in the ways that we should. We hope you enjoy and tune in next week for part 2.

Gary Gray Jr. on Revising Stories

Gary Gray Jr. on Revising Stories

Welcome to THE ABCS of INSPIRED TEACHING!! This is the 4th version of a podcast that has been hosted by Wilkie Law and Kyle Krueger since 2016. Over the course of five years we've tried different approaches in creating a podcast that makes a difference for teachers and this is where we have landed. 

This podcast hopes to breathe life into teachers and help them pull out all the good things that are already inside their students. We will interview people who inspire us, teachers who can share their stories of inspiration and share practical wisdom for teachers who want to be their best for kids.

This episode is with our friend Gary Gray Jr. Gary is a Black Canadian who teaches internationally. He has been a guest on the show more times than anyone else and it is because of how he inspires us. We talked with Gary about the books he is writing, why he chooses to tell stories and how we can't rush the revising process.

Here are some thoughts from Kyle for the week of 11-29-21. A little more content and a little crappier sound, but we still want to share some thoughts with you. More importantly is a positive reflection practice that is paying dividends!

The ABCs #2: Believability!

The ABCs #2: Believability!

Believability- the quality of being able to be believed; credibility

As we work through this school year and all of the challenges we face as educators we know that our credibility is more important than ever. We are asked to speak on and model so many things now that it is crucial that our kids believe that we are who we say we are. This recording was one of 26 we originally did for our book and as we get set to start a new year of podcasts we'd like to share these old ones with you. It is amazing to us that even though these were recorded in 2019-20 they still ring as true as ever.

Let us know how you make yourself believable to your kids on social media @theabcsofinspiredteaching

#338: Teaching Perspective though 9/11

Today is the 20th anniversary of the attacks on America that killed 3000 people. The anniversary has got me thinking about how my perspective of the event hasn’t changed in all this time, but how i see the world has. I am spending a few class periods with my students this week to help understand perspective. If I can show them how to have historical perspective maybe I can help them see a broader world view. I’ll keep you posted on how it’s going next week!

#327: A Conversation On Community with Amen Rahh!

#327: A Conversation On Community with Amen Rahh!

What is good fam?! We are so pumped to share part 1 of our conversation with Amen Rahh on how to uplift communities through education. Principal Rahh was born and raised in Compton, California, and is a high school principal there at the University Pathways school. We wanted to connect with with Rahh to hear  little about how things were going in California and how he is running his school, but it turned into a conversation about how schools can build our communities. We talked about the communities we came from and how they have changed along with how our perspectives of them have changed. As adults we see our towns differently than we once did and it bring up questions about our roles there and how we can make them better.

Here are a few other things we talked about on the podcast:

The Alchemist Students adapting to virtual learning Sacred Knowledge and Skills Community Values School Pipelines The standardizing of unstandardized conditions in education Our rural and urban experiences

We hope you enjoy this episode of the podcast and check back next week for part two of this conversation with Amen Rahh!
