  • Horrible

    I wish I could give zero stars.

    Teachers are under attack and leaving in droves.

    This Podcast highlights and glorifies many of the reasons why Teachers are leaving.

    If you are an Administrator, please do the opposite of what is advocated in this Podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Katrina Huels—Transformational Tools for Special Educators: How to Beat Burnout and Become the Best at What You Do
Q: How can districts implement these ideas without putting the onus entirely on individuals?
By making emotional intelligence a shared language and expectation across the district, embedding it into professional development, and aligning policies so the culture supports self-regulation and communication. It's about organizational change as much as personal growth, with tools and training offered to everyone.
Katrina Huels—Transformational Tools for Special Educators: How to Beat Burnout and Become the Best at What You Do
Q: What led you to write Transformational Tools for Special Educators?
I saw chronic stress and burnout across education, which not only hurt teachers and leaders but also affected student outcomes. I wanted to provide a framework that treats emotional intelligence as a professional competency—something schools can systematize, train for, and sustain through culture and PD rather than relying on isolated self-care days.
Dr. Frank Rodriguez and Dr. Gene Tavernetti—Digital Captives: Helping Schools Strike A Balance Between Humans And Hardware
Q: Let's get into the title right off the bat. What does it mean to say that someone is a Digital Captive? And who do you assert in the book is a Digital Captive?
Digital Captives refers to both students and educational systems overwhelmed by technology use, with excessive screen time and reliance on apps; the goal is to reorient control back to human-centered instruction while using tech as a tool, not as the driver of learning.
Kristan Rodriguez—In Support of Student Data: A Data Workbook for MTSS Teams
Q: Take us into MTSS Squared and how it changes the way schools implement MTSS.
MTSS Squared treats MTSS as both a system and a form of student support, organizing four domains, four data sets, and four cycles to create a proactive, data-informed process that embeds supports at the classroom and school level from the start of the year.
Naphtali Hoff—Becoming The Delegating School Boss
Q: Why do we need to think about delegation?
Naphtali Hoff explains that delegation is essential to leverage existing talent, prevent burnout, and allow leaders to focus on high-impact work while building a team of capable leaders who can sustain the organization when the leader steps away.
