Thanks for the grace with our release schedule as we reacclimated to our routines following #learnfwd23! Here’s the finale to our “Reading Wars” trilogy on science-based reading, vocabulary and now, comprehension-featuring “Rogue One” & (some hot takes on Ewoks and Wookiees!)

Oops, we did it again! It’s a new Pop Culture Winter Wonderland episode centered around the music of Britney Spears! Featuring 6 new connections to education and @CVeitcher’s return to the vocabulary gauntlet! Enjoy it wherever you stream.

Could we BE any more excited to finish off our Pop Culture Winter Wonderland with some connections to Friends? Join us to find out who thinks every teacher has a “Janice”, consider why nobody knows Chandler’s job, & maybe even hear a GLG version of “Smelly Cat”! Streaming now.

We’re back with our first full-length of ‘24 & visiting our fictional friends at Abbott Elementary as we discuss the needs of teachers at various experience levels. First up: those new to teaching - like Gregory. Catch how we’d help him & others in his shoes wherever you stream!

As promised, we’ve returned to Abbott Elementary to discuss ways to coach and lead the other side of the divide: highly experienced teachers like Abbott’s go-to consummate pro, Barbara Howard. How do we honor & inspire those with her level of expertise? Give it a stream & see!

For part 1 in our AI series, we need to delve into the social, ethical, and instructional considerations AI presents. Join us for some Terminator metaphor connections (and our best Arnold quotes) as we explore how to center humanity in classrooms even while AI is ever expanding!

As promised, it’s Part 2 of our discussion on AI. This time, we’re looking at how AI can be our “Big Hero” and support us, making us stronger, more “super” educators. How do we begin to shift thinking from “Terminator” to“Baymax”? We’ve got you!

If you find yourself daydreaming about what it might be like to “heist” students’ minds and attention back for some quality student-led academic discourse, this episode’s the one for you. Let’s finish this school year with some strong conversations - stream it now!

Ever wonder what other paths exist for educators outside of the norm of K-12? We’re kicking off a few eps to consider “alternative” paths, starting with a fun chat with Stephanie Fleck about college students, SEL, bad(?) YA lit, and of course, alternative music. Stream now!

Our journey into “alternative” roles lovers of learning can pursue takes us next to the Bay Area for a powerful convo with @amandaforssf about serving students & constituents on the school board. Enjoy this fun-filled love letter to teacher/board collaboration - we know we did!

It’s no beast hidden away in an enchanted castle, but modern math definitely gets more than a little misunderstanding. Let’s look beneath the surface with our incredibly knowledgeable guest, Kelly Green to finish off the 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘩 season of the Grounded Learners Guild!

We’re back! Even though we’ve deemed S5 our last (for now), we are psyched to bring you this season of nostalgic fun, reflection, and new takes! We run it down for you in this episode:

Here we go! This is the first of our “redux” episodes and Emily Coklan (She/her)’s favorite on education & learning. Enjoy a re-listen & in the next episode, we’ll discuss why this one was special…and what has changed!

Turning the page, this next “duo” will feature a Casey favorite, diving into Star Wars, the Science of Reading, and vocabulary instruction. This one packs in tons of practical strategy alongside plenty of laughs and “bleep bloop bleeps”. Give it a re-listen and enjoy!

Whether you’re shopping, entertaining, or just trying to stay warm, we’ve got a treat for you! Our discussion episode reviewing “Reading Wars 2: Avoid the Droid” is streaming now! We’re thankful for the opportunity to revisit it. Enjoy!

It’s time to shine a light on Jenni LaBrie’s favorite education episode! Travel back with us to Feb. of 2021 to review “Make it Work Mindset” - a great opportunity to consider all you’ve accomplished & how fierce you’ve been throughout this intense, pressure-packed past 4 years!

Remember the days before we had ever thought to have a guest join the GLG? We hardly can either! This episode takes us back to the epicenter of “Covid response” for a surprisingly laugh-packed chat with one of our favorite people, Kim Darche. Give it a re-listen!

Grab your headphones - it’s here! Kim Darche re-joins the GLG for a reflective, laugh-out-loud funny and poignant discussion about the season 1 Episode we recorded back in spring of ‘21. Check it out wherever you stream!

It’s re-listen time! We’re bringing back season 2’s “Network Connectivity Problems” to revisit how we stayed connected even while our guild “connectivity” was massively in flux! Give it a listen and we’ll be back soon to dish on behind the scenes and discuss current thoughts.
