The I Heart STEAM Teacher Podcast

Dear Education... You're Breaking My Heart

Bonnie Kirkley Season 2 Episode 34

In every episode of the I Heart STEAM Teacher Podcast, I make it a point to provide useful and completely positive information.


My heart has been heavy for a few years with the directions public education is moving into, but this year takes the cake. So today.... I am discussing quite a few topics that WE should ALL stop for just a moment and think about a little bit.

So.. DEAR EDUCATION, It's time we talked.

This isn't a total rant. It's a thoughtful hmmmmmm....

Has common sense and proven researched brain and age appropriate learning styles our teachers need to be using just taken a U-turn upon seeing the Krispy Kreme "Hot Now" sign lit up on the road to sound educational practices.... and forgotten to leave those wonderful treasures found in the Krispy Kreme shop to find their way back to us?

I would love to know your thoughts on the episode topics! Drop an email to bonnie@iheartsteam.com anytime! As promised in the episode, my two best management strategies for independent learning and listening/speaking skills are ready for you to download! Grab them here. Yes, they are so simple.... How could this work? Friends.... simple isn't always a bad thing.

I see you glittery teacher with sparkly management tools and routines in your classroom, but I will sit and get to know my students more while they just follow two simple guidelines that work, work, work, and you can keep applying more glitter! Side note: I like glitter, too!
