Listen "Big Lessons From Little Screens ~006"
Episode Synopsis
Join us as we share how we learned to pivot, embrace new rhythms, and find resilience in the face of unexpected change. From the struggles of lockdown to the surprising discoveries along the way, this conversation looks back at what those “little screens” taught us about teaching, learning, and life.
What we cover in this episode:
The sudden shift into lockdown and leaving our classrooms behind
Teaching from home and adjusting to new routines
Learning (and sometimes struggling with) new technology
Pivoting back to campus and providing flexible options for families—online and in person
The importance of asking for help and leaning on community
Finding joy in small moments and unexpected places
We also share a favorite passage from Brianna Wiest’s book, The Pivot Year, a collection of daily reflections on growth and transformation
Out of respect for our students, we want to note that while the stories we share are real, names have been changed for anonymity. In fact, every student we mention is named “Charlie.” We use that name as a way to honor privacy while still sharing authentic classroom experiences. https://www.instagram.com/teachbiglittlelessons/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
