  • New subscriber here to stay!

    I am a new subscriber and I am really enjoying this Podcast. My favorite episode is featuring Bishop Kevin Foreman.

    This episode is a powerful example of what makes this podcast consistently impactful. Bishop Kevin Foreman shares a compelling perspective on what it truly means to grow as a teacherโ€”not only in skill, but as a whole person. His insight that the best educators continue developing themselves personally and professionally adds real depth to the conversation.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#229, How One Teacher Built a No-Cost Language Lab | Anderson Maestri
Q: Where can others learn more or replicate this approach at their own schools?
Anderson encourages direct outreach, notes that the materials weren't intentionally sold but offers guidance one-on-one, and provides his contact avenues (maestribooks.com) for those seeking to implement or adapt the program.
#229, How One Teacher Built a No-Cost Language Lab | Anderson Maestri
Q: What has worked well and what were the biggest challenges during rollout?
The system's strengths include multi-language offerings, curriculum flexibility, and a dedicated facilitator to drive progression. The main challenges centered on finding the right facilitator and ensuring staff stayed engaged with the technology. The handoff and ongoing monitoring across the year were critical to success.
#229, How One Teacher Built a No-Cost Language Lab | Anderson Maestri
Q: Can you share background on how you developed the language lab system and your role at the school?
Anderson explains his long arc in education, how he returned to Christian Academy of Greater St. Louis, leveraged his experience bilingual background, and built a system to address a retiring language teacher by creating a digital, accountable, classroom model that can scale to multiple languages and curricula.
#230, Starting a School in Your Church Facility: Lessons with Todd Yoho
Q: What are the practical dynamics of sharing space between church and school?
The school has its own board and operates as a 501(c)(3) under the church's umbrella, with clear lines of spiritual alignment and mission, while day-to-day operations stay with the school; communication and joint problem-solving are ongoing but the two entities function as closely linked teams.
#230, Starting a School in Your Church Facility: Lessons with Todd Yoho
Q: What was it like to assemble the first board of directors for the school?
assembling the board was a slow, intentional process. We looked for people who shared the vision, loved Jesus, and were willing to commit to a new venture, then added practical capacity considerations to ensure they could sustain their involvement over time.
