Description

Today we are re-airing a past episode where I dive into the thought-provoking concept of  "Compassionate Emptiness." As educators, sometimes we can fall into the trap of simply acting as problem solvers. I challenge this way of being and discuss the idea of listening with compassion and nothing else. In doing this, we can provide our students with the space they need to be heard without judgment or immediate solutions. This practice can be helpful not only in our classrooms, but also as we interact with colleagues, family, and friends. Sometimes all others need is someone who is willing to listen. Here’s to another day of living intentionally.Caitlin

How do I create engaging and rigorous lessons for my students? How can I better manage the planning, grading, and paperwork required of me as a Middle School English Language Arts teacher? How can I create strong and passionate writers? Most importantly, how can I create a work-life balance that allows me to enjoy weekends and pursue the career I love? Welcome to the Teaching Middle School ELA podcast where, each Tuesday, we will answer these questions and more! Each Tuesday, join hosts Caitlin Mitchell and Jessica Cannata as they deliver curriculum and lesson ideas, share classroom stories, and interview fellow educators who are experts in the field. If you teach reading and writing to middle schoolers and want to get inspired with some fresh ideas, productivity tips, and top-notch pedagogical strategies, then this is the podcast for you!
