Listen "Old Problems, New Views"
Episode Synopsis
This episode breaks it all down (not literally), Hallie and Joanna offer a different perspective on how to look at what’s going on in our school system.
To begin, they give the first update on the Educator Survey they’ve been encouraging educators to take… honestly, it looks exactly as they predicted – not so good. Hallie and Joanna discuss four main reasons people are either leaving or considering leaving the education profession. Go to: tinyurl.com/BeHeardEducators, to take the survey if you haven’t already.
Next, Hallie and Joanna discuss student behaviors - aggressive, disengaged, and passive compliance - and how all of these “behaviors” are actually student’s needs not being met. This ends up not being much of a surprise, when they break down that only 25% of needs are addressed in our school system.
Finally, they discuss how standardization has magnified issues for everyone in schools. A way of describing education right now is: “teaching is telling and learning is the lesson” and then they share a comparison of the disconnects between students and the school system.
And even with all of this - Hallie and Joanna can *feel* that the allies are aligning!
