#51- "Should We Accept Late Work?"
November 16, 2020 08:00 - 34 minutes - 47.6 MBLaurie & Matt ask an important question as we inch closer to the end of the first semester, "Should We Accept Late Work?" Late work, the assignments students fail to complete on time and want to turn in after the due date, has always been a contentious issue with teachers, but this year requires some deeper contemplation and debate. Laurie & Matt start by asking what your priority objective is with your assignments- learning content or making deadlines? They then venture into grading late wo...
#50- Teen Parent Therapy: Should We Let Them Fail?
November 12, 2020 08:00 - 20 minutes - 28 MBLaurie & Matt put their parent pants on and look at the devastatingly tough situation our teens are in with distance learning, being asked to exercise self-control well beyond what is normally, and reasonably expected of them. Is this an opportunity for them to learn some tough lessons about responsibility and the consequences of poor choices, or should we fire up the helicopter and swoop in for some 11th hour intervention? If you have a story to share and would like to be a guest on their s...
#49- "How Do We Stay Healthy in an Unhealthy World?" Part 2
November 09, 2020 07:59 - 52 minutes - 72.7 MBLaurie & Matt pick up where they left off last week, adding a part two to their discussion around the question, "How Do We Stay Healthy in an Unhealthy World?" The conversation this week touches on topics like tongue scraping, vitamins, and prayer. Aristotle and gratitude are also weaved into the conversation, and the show begins and ends with a reflection on the passing of a friend. Molly was a friend of Laurie's from middle school, and her unfortunate passing at the hands of cancer serve as...
#48- "How Do We Stay Healthy in an Unhealthy World?" Part 1
November 02, 2020 08:00 - 46 minutes - 63.5 MBLaurie & Matt open up about their routines as they, like all of us, are wondering "How Do We Stay Healthy in an Unhealthy World?" As if staying healthy, body, mind, and soul, weren't already challenging in a world where sugar is in everything and escaping into the matrix is as simple as inserting an airpod, an invisible and deadly virus seems to be hanging in the air everywhere, forcing us to spend even more time on our devices. Laurie, forever the seeker of personal health wisdom, starts of...
#47- Teen Parent Therapy: Why Are We Parents?
October 29, 2020 07:00 - 30 minutes - 42.4 MBLaurie & Matt have been living in the land of WHY lately, having explored the question "why are we teachers?" on their previous episode as an exercise to pinpoint those core values that provide both motivation and navigation, along with easing the burden of decision making by providing a clear framework for determining "yes" (because it serves my why) or "no" (because it doesn't). This led them further down the path to "Why Are We Parents?" Beyond the obvious biological underpinnings of why ...
#46- "Why Do You Teach?"
October 26, 2020 07:00 - 40 minutes - 55.4 MBLaurie & Matt get philosophical, but in a good, practical way. Noting that our shift to distance learning brought with it a deluge of "how to teach," as newbies and veterans alike were forced to earn minors in computer science to facilitate student learning this year, Laurie & Matt hit pause to ponder the vital question, "Why Do You Teach?" Quoting Nietszche, again, Matt points out that our "hows" are made bearable by our "whys," and it's time to make sure we have one, or dust off the one yo...
#45- "Are We Having an Educational Existential Crisis?"
October 19, 2020 07:00 - 43 minutes - 59.8 MBLaurie & Matt return from their Heart & Soul of a Teacher Journey to visit a dark place where few venture intentionally, but where many often end up. They revisit their regular format to address the question, "Are We Having an Educational Existential Crisis?" Grappling with the demands of distance learning and the strange alternative universe they seem to visit everyday, where they stare at black boxes and try to coax work out of and build relationships with the teenage humans they believe a...
#44- Teen Parent Therapy: Helicopter or Hands Off?
October 15, 2020 07:00 - 23 minutes - 32.3 MBLaurie & Matt continue with their bi-weekly Teen Parent Therapy sessions, this time exploring their struggle to find the right balance of being helicopter or hands off parents. They find themselves careening between the two, rarely with thoughtfulness and purpose, and more often reacting to the failings of their current parenting modality. Remembering that these sessions are not about solutions and advice, but rather about honesty and exploration, Laurie & Matt open up about their missteps a...
#43- Heart & Soul Interview: Ryan Sagare
October 12, 2020 07:00 - 59 minutes - 81.1 MBLaurie & Matt continue to gather data on the heart & soul of a teacher, this time collecting choice insights from Ryan Sagare (pronounced SAY-GAR, like if you were drunk and tried to say "Sammy Hagar" and it just slurred together). Laurie & Matt got to know Ryan through School Rubric, the international education website Ryan co-founded. Matt affectionately refers to Ryan and Wallace, another School Rubric co-founder, as the "School Rubric Dudes." Now based in Austin, Texas where he works as ...
#42- Heart & Soul Interview: Tyler Dilts
October 05, 2020 07:00 - 43 minutes - 60.1 MBLaurie & Matt reconnect with an old friend, Tyler Dilts, for the next installment of their Heart & Soul of a Teacher series. Laurie & Matt both met Tyler while theatre arts majors at Long Beach State, Laurie logging some extra Tyler time years later when they both spent time in an office. Tyler would eventually find success as a writer of crime fiction, which would allow him the opportunity to pursue his true passion, teaching. Tyler recounts his journey from high school dropout to junior co...
#41- Teen Parent Therapy: When Your Kids Don't Like Each Other
October 01, 2020 07:00 - 28 minutes - 38.9 MBLaurie & Matt, responding to the outpouring of thanks they received after sharing their struggles with parenting teen boys, experiment with a new Thursday format they're calling "Teen Parent Therapy." Realizing that part of the struggle with parenting is battling the constant feelings of failure and thinking that somehow you're responsible for every ill-advised action your teen takes, Laurie & Matt go in search of relief instead strategies. The truth is, we're not alone (even though most of t...
#40- Heart & Soul Interview: Ed Campos Jr.
September 28, 2020 07:00 - 45 minutes - 62.1 MBLaurie & Matt continue their journey into the heart and soul of a teacher, this time interviewing edtech guru Ed Campos Jr. Laurie and Eddie crossed paths at a local edtech conference five years ago, and they've been friends ever since. A product of a rural, small, Mexican community, Ed shares how his path took him from Earlimart (CA), to UCLA, to Silicon Valley, and back to California's Central Valley to teach. He opens up about anxiety and using mindfulness in the classroom, a childhood te...
#39- Heart & Soul Interview: Steven "Etienne" Langlois
September 21, 2020 07:00 - 57 minutes - 78.8 MBLaurie & Matt kick off their Heart & Soul of a Teacher Tour by interviewing someone that knows a few things about touring, and teaching. An interview that came together quickly and out of nowhere, Laurie & Matt went into the interview having never heard of their guest, and left it claiming him as a new best friend and wanting to travel to Canada for some socially distanced hang time. Steven "Etienne" Langlois (note that the "E" should have a little forward accent on it, but Matt is clueless ...
#38- Commonplace Episode: Friedrich Nietszche
September 17, 2020 07:00 - 20 minutes - 27.5 MBLaurie & Matt go back to a format they haven't used in a while, the commonplace episode, where they pull a quote from a book and discuss its implications on the world of teaching and parenting teens. Matt came across this quote while reading How to Live by Sarah Bakewell, but the quote is from Friedrich Nietszche's book Human All Too Human. Here it is: "Among the small but endlessly abundant and therefore very effective things that science ought to heed more than the great, rare things, is g...
#37- "What is the Soul of a Teacher?"
September 14, 2020 07:00 - 43 minutes - 59.2 MBLaurie & Matt realize that their mission as educators and podcasters is evolving, and that it includes answering the question, "What is the Soul of a Teacher?" Everywhere they look in the teacherverse they see articles like, "5 Ways to Use Google Classroom," or "How to Build Community Through Zoom," and they're concerned that these might be signs that the robots are poised for a takeover. Their new mission as they see it is to capture the stories of real, human teachers that have been advanc...
#36- "Why Are Teenage Boys So Challenging?"
September 07, 2020 07:00 - 38 minutes - 52.2 MBLaurie & Matt reach out to the TSW Community and find that they're not alone on the roller coaster ride called, "Why Are Teenage Boys So Challenging?" Apparently, it's not a ride anyone gets in line for, but somehow most parents find themselves on at some point during the amusement park of life. Except, of course, for those few friends that have perfect children and love to let you know while you're suspended upside down about to lose your lunch. Maybe a little splatter will get on their new ...
#35- Special Episode: The MOST Important Teenager Habit
September 03, 2020 07:00 - 27 minutes - 37.8 MBLaurie & Matt address the one habit that makes the greatest impact on teens, and not just from a school outcomes perspective, but from a whole person, emotional, psychological, and relationship perspective. After years of being asked to do work, by teachers and parents, teens have developed a habitual response to that request. At that moment, an unconscious series of moves kicks in, and their lives are either improved or made more complicated. Laurie & Matt address the consequences of their h...

August 31, 2020 07:00 - 44 minutes - 61.3 MBLaurie & Matt hop on a Zoom meeting with Matt Rhoads, Ed.D, author and educator, for this episode's discussion concerning educational technology (edtech), distance learning, and the future of education.

The conversation centers around Matt Rhoads' book, Navigating the Toggled Term: Prep...
#33-"How Were Our First Days of Distance Learning?"
August 24, 2020 07:00 - 43 minutes - 60.3 MBLaurie & Matt break down their first couple days of the school year, albeit remotely, with this episode's essential question, "How Were Our First Days of Distance Learning?" Laurie & Matt are teaching from their classrooms, which has a certain dystopian energy as they walk across a campus eerily devoid of student energy. They share their frustrations (limited but growing comfort with Zoom), their triumphs (recapturing the joy of a purpose-filled day), and their questions (how do we connect o...
#32- Special Episode: Matt's Amazon Book Failure...and Recovery
August 20, 2020 07:00 - 26 minutes - 36.6 MBLaurie & Matt discuss the epic failure of Matt's journey in self-publishing his first book on Amazon, how he recovered, and the value of the failure. Just when an author should be feeling the exultation of completing and publishing a book, Matt recounts the technical difficulties he encountered and how they led to feelings of self-doubt instead of the joy he was anticipating. This failure, it turns out, provided an opportunity for Matt to continue his growth and make improvements to his boo...
#31- "Is the Serenity Prayer What We Need Right Now?"
August 17, 2020 07:00 - 37 minutes - 51.7 MBLaurie & Matt take a look at those wise sayings that help us through troubling and stressful times, turning to a specific one for this week's essential question, "Is the Serenity Prayer What We Need Right Now?" Written by Reinhold Niebuhr in 1932, the Serenity Prayer became widely known when 12-step programs adopted it in the 1940s. Here is a commonly used variation: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know t...

Drawing inspiration from Tom Rath's practical book EAT MOVE SLEEP, Laurie proposes a straightforward approach to making sure we're ready for the day. While Laurie & Matt take different sides on the alarm clock debate (Matt needs one, while Laurie could do without), the...

August 03, 2020 07:00 - 34 minutes - 47.5 MBLaurie & Matt tackle a topic most teachers, parents, AND teens were hoping they wouldn't have to this fall.

July 23, 2020 06:59 - 15 minutes - 21.5 MBLaurie & Matt shift their "If I Were Principal" segment from their regular episodes to stand alone content in their bonus episodes.

Wistfully remembering the bygone days of every student being given an agenda planner, Matt suggests that technology's encroachment...
