In today's episode, we dove deep into teacher collaboration, discussing the why and how to do it. We explored why teacher collaboration is crucial for both teacher and student performance, and shared personal anecdotes to illustrate our points.Collaboration is not just about meeting once a week; it's about creating a culture where teachers feel supported and are encouraged to share ideas and strategies. It's about building a community within the school that ultimately benefits the students. We encourage all educators to step out of their classrooms, engage with their peers, and embrace the power of collaboration.Remember to share your own collaboration models and experiences with us, as we're all here to learn from each other. Let's not be stingy with our ideas; let's collaborate and make education better for everyone involved.Until next time, keep the conversation going and never stop collaborating!Be sure to visit TransparencyinTeaching.com to find all the other interesting and in-depth articles on the teaching topics you want to know about.

Ah, summer vacation! The time when teachers can finally break free from the clutches of students, exams, and endless lesson planning. It's a time to kick back, relax, and forget about school... Or is it?Many teachers count the days until the last bell before summer vacation sounds. At my school, our science teacher begins writing the countdown on the teacher’s lounge whiteboard the day we return from winter break. The end of the school year is incredibly stressful, and anticipation of summer freedom doesn’t make it any easier to get through. This is the time of year when you begin to panic because you realize you don’t have enough time left to get through all your required curriculum. This is partly because state testing and other end-of-year assessments all encroach on the limited days left and because there are the obligatory awards assemblies and the student “fun” days. There’s also finding time to wrap up your classroom for the summer, collect textbooks and computers and hand out registration packets for next year. Next year…. Ugh! The last thing any teacher wants to think about right now. So when that final bell sounds, ending the school year, lock your classroom door, turn in the end-of-year paperwork, and take some time away from all of it. Well, enough time to catch your breath and refocus.Because if you are a weirdo like me, you love using summer to jump-start planning for the next school year! WAIT! Before you roll your eyes and skip to the next podcast, hear me out. This episode actually discusses how to make your summer MORE relaxing and the beginning of the next school year much less stressful. So go get one of those fancy drinks with an umbrella and hit play to find out the secret way Anne and Jen totally forget about school. Sorry, controversial substances are not included!Wanna read it instead? Visit TransparencyinTeaching.com "Maximizing Summer Vacation: How Planning Sets Teachers Up for Success"
Happy 2022! Let's hope this year makes up for the last two! It's always good to be hopeful. And on that note, I hope public education survives. Last year brought educators and their curriculum under the microscope in a way I don't remember ever seeing. Much of the uproar seems to come from the usual media rabble-rousers and pot-stirrers. Today's episode delves into our side of this twisted narrative. Listen and see where you land.For years, some politicians have claimed to be "education candidates." Their platforms promise money and better school facilities. Once they count the ballots and fill their campaign coffers, good intentions go to the bottom of the "to-do list." Today, these "education-loving" candidates are promising a different kind of help to schools, and it's getting them elected. Now officials win by going after the evil wizards of indoctrination, TEACHERS, and their textbooks of evil spells! They rally their pitchfork and torch-carrying followers with cries of "No CRT!" and "Don't hurt my child's feelings!" Frenzied crowds storm school board rooms and drown out meetings with cries of "Foul!" and other four-lettered words. It might be akin to Frankenstein's Monster or The Purge if this were a movie.This thing plays like Twilight Zone's "Monsters on Maple Street." The main characters hear rumors of something evil that has come to live in their neighborhood. They spread the news, and like the telephone game, it gets more prominent and distorted as it passes. Before you know it, everyone believes it's true. And when they finally beat down the door and blow up the house, they find they were wrong all along. However, the damage is done. The city is burning, and innocent people have been disposed of. Today we talk about this scary movie; only the movie takes place in our schools. Some very vocal parents and politicians are claiming teachers are working to indoctrinate children, forcing them to bend to the will of CRT, and mind-meld with liberal ideologies. They want to ban particular curricula and regulate what teachers can and cannot say. It makes about as much sense as going to the dentist and telling my hygenist which tools to use and how to hold the mirror properly. Jen, Sharyn, and I share our in-the-trenches view of what is really going on, and I swear there are no monsters under your beds.Teachers want parent involvement. They want politicians who genuinely care. We don't need people who are largely uninformed and get their misinformation from the Internet, Aunt Sally's Facebook page, and those with hidden agendas. Put down the pitchforks and get involved with your school. Get to know the teachers, join the committees, volunteer, go to the school and spend some REAL time in the classroom. There's power in seeing things for yourself. When you take an objective look, I'm pretty sure that you'll find the monster you think is hiding under your bed is just a big clump of dust bunnies you forgot to sweep up.
Jen, Sharyn and I start the show by discussing the latest education news which in this case is what the proposed 10% budget cut might mean for schools (for me, it might mean retirement!) These could be the single biggest cuts to education in the history of California! Write your state representatives people and let them know we need to leave our schools out of this! I’ve included a letter template you can use.I feel a fight coming on.Teaching is a tough profession. I’m thinking now that many parents have been attempting to keep their own offspring on track, they may have a more valid picture of what we do every day, but times 30!Teaching from home has its own set of issues but today we focus on all the little and not so little things teachers deal with in the classroom, which those who haven’t spent much time in a classroom may not realize. Little things like, having time to go to the bathroom, or deciding to go to work sick because it’s easier than calling for a sub. Or perhaps it’s that duty free lunch we’re guaranteed, that sometimes isn’t so duty free (can you say, rainy day?)This all started with a conversation about that lovely adage, “Those that can’t do, teach.” (stick a knife in my heart, ouch!) We hope this episode helps to show what we do, do and change that little phrase to something more like, “ Those that can’t teach, do something less important.” Ok, there are other jobs that are very important, but ummmm, I think they needed a teacher to get them to that job, right?Don’t forget to comment and like us in Apple iTunes or your other listening platforms.

In today's episode, Jen and I solve the problem with schools, and spoiler alert! It's not the schools! It's the people who attend them. More specifically, the economic status of the neighborhoods and the people who have to live in them. It's just a plain fact that students from lower-income and impoverished communities have worse educational outcomes than their more economically stable counterparts. If you want schools to improve, stop blaming the schools and start working to improve the lives of the people who attend them!Here's how we break this all down in this episode:Literacy Rates and Historical Comparisons:We explored the misconception that literacy rates were higher in the past, noting that past statistics were often self-reported and not as rigorous as today's assessments.Current literacy rates show that 79% of adults have basic literacy, but half read below a sixth-grade level.Impact of Poverty on Education:We discussed how poverty significantly impacts literacy and overall educational outcomes.Comparing states like New Hampshire and New Mexico, we highlighted how environmental factors, funding, and socio-economic conditions contribute to educational disparities.School Funding Disparities:The episode delved into how school funding is largely dependent on local property taxes, leading to significant inequities between wealthy and impoverished districts.Examples from New York and Idaho illustrated the vast differences in per-pupil spending.Systemic Issues and Policy Failures:We examined how systemic and legal frameworks in different states either support or hinder educational success.The lack of robust policies in states like New Mexico contrasts sharply with the strong legal obligations in New Hampshire to provide equitable education.The Cost of Illiteracy:Illiteracy costs the U.S. economy up to $2.2 trillion annually in lost productivity and increased public assistance needs.Improving literacy rates could significantly boost the GDP and reduce public costs.Potential Solutions and Innovations:We discussed the potential of AI in education, suggesting that AI could handle basic learning while teachers focus on social skills and higher-order thinking.However, we acknowledged the importance of human connection and the role of teachers as mentors and role models.Challenges with Technology and Social Media:The pervasive use of smartphones and social media among students poses significant challenges to their focus and learning.We noted the resistance from parents when schools attempt to limit phone usage, highlighting another external factor beyond teachers' control.In conclusion, this episode emphasized that while schools and teachers play a crucial role in education, many factors affecting student success lie outside the classroom. Addressing issues like poverty, funding inequities, and systemic barriers is essential for meaningful improvement in education. We called for a broader focus on these external factors to create a more equitable and effective educational system.
In this episode of Transparency in Teaching, I had the pleasure of speaking with Madeline, a former student teacher of mine who is now an adjunct faculty member at Chaffey College. Madeline shared her unique journey into the field of education, highlighting her initial struggles with dyslexia and how overcoming these challenges inspired her to help others learn to read.Madeline discussed her current role as a part-time professor, teaching English to a diverse group of community college students, including high schoolers in dual enrollment programs. We delved into her preparation for becoming a teacher, including her experience with the rigorous CalTPA (California Teaching Performance Assessment) and the importance of student teaching. Madeline emphasized the value of having a supportive cohort and mentor during her training.Madeline also shared practical advice for new teachers, including the importance of not lowering expectations, allowing students to learn from failure, and utilizing apps and online tools to create engaging lessons. Although Madeline struggled with feeling some first-year burnout, she expressed her continued passion for teaching and her commitment to making a positive impact on her students.I hope this episode provides valuable insights and inspiration for aspiring educators.

As of 2025, 32 states, along with Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico, have some form of school voucher or voucher-like program (such as education savings accounts or tax-credit scholarships). Seems that voucher programs are spreading across the US like hot TikTok influencer video, captivating, but ya better check your facts first! And I, unfortunately, don't think voucher programs will be retreating back into the Pandora's box of alternate education any time soon. So public school teachers and the folks that love and support them better take notice, because it's coming to a district near you. I fly solo in this quickie episode and bring you the latest on the biggest voucher program in the US so far. Texas, of course! Everything's bigger in Texas! I talk about how the program will run, how oversight will happen and the pros and cons of how this program may affect public schools. Does Texas get it right? Gotta hold for applause, for now.For a deeper dive into this topic, listen to episode 58 Public Money for Private School Choice: Who Benefits and Who Pays the Price (https://open.spotify.com/episode/2KplvYMJgMVy4wjaLnUyKw?si=dWYxKPsjTYqvqy0xw0w27w). Jen and I get in deep on the details of these programs and their consequences. Glad you stopped by for a "quickie" I hope it was as good for you as it was for me! Thanks for listening and thanks a bunch more for your support!

Ok, it's just a couple of days before we have to decide what some are calling "the fate of our county." Part of that fate is what's on the slate for public education. Both candidates have education as part of their platforms. I went to each candidate's pages to see their education plans. I am bringing my findings to you in a way that is as unbiased as I can manage. Ultimately we all want the same thing-- for our children to have the best education possible that will help them be adults that contribute to the betterment of society. We just seem to have different opinions on how to get there. (Compromise, anyone??)The result is this episode; Jen and Jimese were busy being teachers, so since the election is literally in just a few days, I decided to throw caution to the wind and just went for it and recorded this episode by myself. I also decided not to spend 6 hours editing it. (Which maybe I should have because I sure say "um" and "uh" a lot. You know how it is thinking on the fly. ) I wanted to get this information out there for anyone concerned about what state our schools may be in after November 5. The links to the websites I used to create this episode can be found on our website, TransparencyinTeaching.comI hope you get some value out of my solo discussion. Please share this episode (soon!) with anyone you think might find value. While you're at it, could you give us a nice rating, too?Now, take your mighty pen and go forth and vote your conscience.

Welcome back to another episode of TransparencyInTeaching.com. Today, we're diving into the controversial state takeover of the Houston Independent School District (HISD), which has been making headlines. With me, your host, Miss Anne, and my co-host Jen, we're unpacking the drastic changes implemented in HISD and discussing their potential impact.HISD, the largest school district in Texas and the eighth largest in the country, has been underperforming for years. The state's intervention was triggered by the chronic low achievement across multiple schools, particularly Wheatley High School. The school, serving a majority of economically disadvantaged students, became the face of the district's struggles.The state's response was to fire all teachers and principals, requiring them to reapply for their jobs. This move has sparked fear and uncertainty among educators and parents alike. The state also introduced merit pay, aiming to reward high-performing teachers but raising concerns about fostering unhealthy competition and inequity among subjects.Another significant change is the scripted curriculum, which strips teachers of the autonomy to tailor lessons to their students' needs. This one-size-fits-all approach has been met with skepticism, as it may not address the individual challenges faced by students.The state is also enforcing strict discipline policies, including converting school libraries into detention centers. This decision has been criticized for potentially depriving students of valuable resources and creating an inequitable environment.Throughout the episode, we question the effectiveness of these changes and whether they address the root causes of the district's issues. We also invite listeners, especially those from Houston, to share their insights and experiences with the takeover.As we wrap up, we reflect on the possibility of such drastic measures being implemented in other districts. The HISD takeover serves as a case study for education reform, and its outcomes will likely influence future policies across the nation.Remember to check out our website, TransparencyinTeaching.com for more in-depth analysis and resources related to this episode. Join us again as we continue to explore the complexities of teaching and the education system.
