Design Lessons - A Podcast You Need In Your Life

If you are an educator who loves to listen to podcasts that offer practical insights and strategies you can quickly and easily implement with your students, then you need "Design Lessons with Dr. Michele Schmidt Moore" in your life. Even if podcasts aren't usually your thing, Design Lessons is a great podcast to start listening to podcasts. 


Each episode is packed full of strategies that can be incorporated in the lessons and learning experiences you are currently designing for your students. They range from 20 to 45 minutes in length, which is shorter than most commutes. Dr. Schmidt Moore has a smooth and calm speaking voice that will totally draw you in and capture your attention.

Whether personally modeling the use of specific instructional design strategies, or interviewing educators who are having success with "all the things" that work, Dr. Schmidt Moore roots each episode in one, or all, of three "Touchstones":

1. mindset and relationships

2. real world opportunities

3. critical and creative thinking. 

Dr. Schmidt Moore have recorded six episodes for your listening pleasure (with more on the way) on topics such as easing anxiety and reframing your mindset, mindfulness, building community and trust in the classroom, and co-teaching.

EduProtocols

In just about 2 weeks from now, teachers in my school district will return to work and begin planning for the start of the school year. Throughout the summer months, I usually spend a lot of my time doing some preparing and preplanning of my own. However, due to the uncertainty surrounding schools reopening and what delivery of instruction will look like, in-person versus virtual, I have not spent much time planning at all.   But, back in June, I came across an article called 5 Strategies for Independent Learning , written about how Kim Voge, a 5th grade teacher, uses EduProtocols, created by Marlene Hebern and Jon Corippo, to " create a culture of student-centered, independent learning in her classroom." As I read about the EduProtocols Mrs. Voge described, I was intrigued and started wondering if they could be used with my 2nd grade Scholars. I reached out to Ms. Voge, who graciously put me in contact with Meghan Cannon-Johann, a 2nd grade teacher who uses EduProtocols in h...

My Slice of Life Story Challenge Experience

June 11, 2019: The date I created a blog and wrote my first post that I submitted to my first Tuesday Slice of Life Story Challenge (SOLSC). What is the Slice of Life Story Challenge? I am so glad you asked.  Every Tuesday writers (Slicers) write a blog post about something that has happened in their lives; then,  copy and paste their blog post links on the   Two Writing Teachers website. Slicers also read and comment on at least 3 other Slices. In March, during the month-long  challenge, Slicers who submit a Slice everyday are eligible for prizes. My first experience with the Month-Long SOLSC marathon was in March of last year. I wasn't sure I would be able to write a blog post every day, but I was determined. My concern increased half way through the challenge when  COVID required everyone to quarantine.  How would I be able to write a Slice about life when, in essence, life had come to a screeching halt? I am proud to say that  I persevered....
