  • 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.

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.
Brian J. Stephens—A Level Playing Field: Strategies to Ensure Public Schools' Success
Q: What practical steps should schools take to level the playing field and communicate their strengths?
Schools should commit to change, advocate for themselves, and transparently present their best programs and outcomes; they should push for funding reforms that recognize student needs and allow flexible programs, while sharing successes with the community.
Brian J. Stephens—A Level Playing Field: Strategies to Ensure Public Schools' Success
Q: What are the main reasons parents leave public schools and how should districts respond?
Parents leave mainly due to concerns about safety, whether their child will be successful, and local community relevance. Districts should improve safety and student support, highlight successful programs, and advocate for a funding model that aligns resources with student needs.
Brian J. Stephens—A Level Playing Field: Strategies to Ensure Public Schools' Success
Q: What prompted you to write the book and what is the main idea you want readers to take away?
The driving idea is that public education must compete fairly because school choice is real and expanding; the goal is to ensure every student has access to a high-quality, well-funded public education, with transparency and accountability to families.
