In this podcast, Spike and Jessica talk candidly and randomly, with no podcast plan! Listen to hear their conversation of everything in their heads at this point in time... about what's on their to-do lists to get ready for the school year, what they're listening to, etc.
We're all down to crunch time to the start of the new school year! Are you feeling like this?
As has been previously shared in our podcast notes (a year ago), here is an example of Jessica's summer to-do list, which Spike refers to as her "playbook."
We may not have gone on any exciting vacations this summer, but our book did! Check out where Kathi Kersznowski took our book this summer:
We also chatted about what other podcasts we've been listening to:
UnearthED by Brad Gustafson and Ben Gilpin
MyBad
Jessica raved about EduCLIMBER, an amazing data warehouse that is one place to track every source of student data (tests, attendance, behavior) keep track of interventions to monitor progress and even have a student app to track behaviors in a Check In-Check Out system each day. Here's a great quick overview of what it looks like.
Spike talked about his recent experience of seeing Ken Williams speak at a local conference. Ken recently published Starting a Movement: Building a Culture From The Inside Out in Professional Learning Communities. Spike said he was able to use parts of this book right away as he worked with his staff on Mission, Vision, Values, and Goals.
