Reading full books isn’t just about English class. It’s about empathy, focus, and deeper thinking. That’s what we dig into in this episode. Alden Jones Doug Lemov Daniel Willingham Lisa Leaheey Matthew R. Kay @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/students… #Reading #teachers

Teachers are back in classrooms. Students are back in hallways. But how many of them walk in already wondering if they belong? This question drove this discussion. Daniel Leonard Dr Christina Cipriano @missytesterman @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/dear-stu… #TEACHers #BackToSchool

I always find it interesting to hear how those that are already good at something go about getting even better. These teachers shared how they get better. @latreseyounger Black Women Education Leaders, Inc. Carissa Kayla Towner @larryferlazzo @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/experien…

Math scores are historically low in many places around the country. What can we do to help not only improve our students scores? We discuss this and more things math during this discussion. Bobson Wong @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/unlockin…

Allowing students to use AI with writing is a hot topic and one that sparks debate. This wasn’t a debate but rather a discussion from diverse viewpoints.

There’s a difference between teaching about controversial topics and pushing one perspective. This episode unpacks that difference. Rick Wormeli Robert Pondiscio @mellyteaches @bamradionetwork Dr. Steven Weber bamradionetwork.com/track/navigati… #TEACHers #censorship #education

The first week of school can overwhelm new or even veteran teachers. This conversation offers practical ways to support them, so they do not burn out before October. Nancy Frey @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/successf… #teachers #BackToSchool2025

First week back and the self-talk starts. “That lesson bombed.” “I’m not enough.” Truth is, our stories shape how we show up. This conversation reminded me we can tell better ones. 𝙺𝚊𝚝𝚑𝚢 𝙲𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚎𝚛 @Upeguijara @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/improvin… #TEACHers #BackToSchool2025

Last day before first day with students. Taking notes and finishing the last few pages of Zach Groshell book which, along with Craig Barton book, is guiding my teaching this year. I don’t think I’ve been this excited since my first year teaching (almost 3 decades ago).

Heading back to school feels different this year. New challenges, new pressures. What struck me most in this convo was how much emotional prep matters, not just lesson prep. the.pink.haired.prof Glenn Robbins Mrs. Silber @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/what-we-… #TEACHers #BackToSchool

Contrary to what some think, direct instruction isn't lecturing. It's one of the most interactive ways to teach. Whiteboards, choral response, retrieval. Hear how it really works. @beanie0597 Laura Stam @mrzachg Mme Lockhart @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/why-thes… #TEACHers

Routines, structure, and meaningful challenge help students feel safe enough to learn. This conversation explains why it matters. Regina Lamourelle Adam A. Phyall, III Ed.D 🤙🏾 Dan Jones @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/bridging… #TEACHers

Some strategies that work in 1st grade won’t work in 9th. But every one of us needs tools for quieting a room. This episode gives us ideas across all grade levels. Daniel Leonard crystal frommert Emily Paschall Jeremiah Short @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/34-grade… #TEACHers

We keep hearing about shortages. But how do they really play out in schools? And what small shifts are possible without burning out? Listen in.

Safety isn’t just about discipline—it’s about trust, connection, and structure. This conversation digs into what’s working and what isn’t. I think fellow teachers will find it helpful. @mrzachg Jonah Davids @d4griffin3 @larryferlazzo @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/what-mak…

Direct instruction wasn’t even on my radar until recently. Now, the deeper I go, the more excited I get. If you’re in the same boat, this conversation may be a great start. @beanie0597 Laura Stam @mrzachg Mme Lockhart @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/why-thes… #teachers

Where’s the line between guidelines and control? This conversation dives into teacher autonomy and trust. I hope you find as engaging and thought provoking as I did. Rick Wormeli Robert Pondiscio @mellyteaches @bamradionetwork Dr. Steven Weber bamradionetwork.com/track/navigati… #teachers

This year I am teaching math to 4th and 5th graders. I can't tell you how helpful, informative and interesting this and the subsequent episode were. I am actually going back and listening to each episode again. #Teachers #math podbean.com/ew/pb-u9y84-16… via Anna Stokke Brian Poncy

I walked away from this AI talk more informed and ready to think differently. From detection to Grammarly to support, it’s an eye-opener. Give it a listen. Caroline Fell Kurban @hcrompton Liz Kolb (she/her) Punya Mishra @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/three-ye… #ChatGPT

We keep chasing “work-life balance” like it’s something we’ll eventually catch. But what if balance itself is the wrong goal? This episode made me rethink everything. Dan Jones @bamradionetwork bamradionetwork.com/track/beyond-t… #teachers #BackToSchool
