17: Hone in for Survival

Podcast Websites Customer Support — Mon, 05 Oct 2015 20:44:48 +0000

Sometimes being an educator is overwhelming with all that is required on and off the job. I felt like I was running a 3-Ring Circus and barely keeping the plates up in the air. But, over time, I came up with a simple system to ensure I honed in on just the urgent matters of today so that I could give my best without getting exhausted.

Quotables

Standing under a waterfall with a Dixie cup
I am in charge of today, tomorrow has not yet come
If you cant do day to day well you cant do long term well

16: Making Sense Out of Your Mess

Podcast Websites Customer Support — Mon, 28 Sep 2015 20:46:20 +0000

Join in on a unique episode experience- a hybrid of sorts: interview + topic based. I pull back the curtains and let you in on some serious intimate details of my journey as an educator. This episode was inspired by a conversation I had with an edu-friend of mine over Voxer about some painful parts of the behind-the-scenes life of a passionate professional. Come learn how to make sense out of your own mess so that you can be the healthiest, happiest version of yourself! (If you need someone to talk to, shoot me an email: gretchen@alwaysalesson.com.)

Quotables

“We are in the same boat, just not at the same time.”
“We are not static creatures. We either progress or regress.”
“Your talent cannot come to fruition when you’re frustrated.”
“Without pain there is no progress.”
“There is so much strength in our stories.”
“If we do not take care of ourselves first, we cannot take care of anyone else.”

14: My Life’s Motto: Dream Big

Podcast Websites Customer Support — Mon, 14 Sep 2015 20:49:29 +0000

Listen to my very first non-scripted episode where I just speak from the heart on a matter that drives my behavior and outlook on life. I introduced the ‘Dream Big’ mantra to my kiddos after being inspired by the song created by Ryan Shupe and the RubberBand. (See the video here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KwEuNapzt0 ). I share how I have used this message to help my kids achieve more than they could have ever conceived, as well as how my sister-in-law models this motto on a daily basis. You’ll even hear about the ‘Red Plate’ phenomenon in my household. If you have desires in your heart that you have not unlocked or need the motivation to make them a reality, then tune in to this episode!

Quotables

My job is to make [students] whole.
I notice you. You are full of so much talent and I love that you are in my life.
I’m not just a teacher. I’m a life-changer.
What is your name? What is your current struggle? I’m here to help you.
How can you reach a goal, if you don’t know what the goal is?
You have to think bigger than what currently is happening.
You can be more than you imagined.

13: “If” versus “When” + How = Now

Podcast Websites Customer Support — Mon, 07 Sep 2015 20:51:06 +0000

When we feel at our worst we begin our thoughts with the word “if.” But when we start empowering ourselves to make things happen for the better, our “if’s” turn to “when’s.” But your work can’t stop there. In order to reach a better place mentally and physically in your moment of distress or transition, start thinking “how” you can make these changes happen NOW. Listen to my story and hear how I followed the simple formula of “if” vs “when” + how = now!

Quotables

I was trapping myself by only thinking in the forms of dreams instead of developing actionable steps to turn these dreams into a reality.
Sometimes when you are at the end of your rope, you need to tie a knot instead of letting go.
I was happier because I did something about my pain. Being proactive and changing your doomsday to dream day is pretty invigorating!
Your distress or transition is not a forever fog over your life. It is temporary.

12: More Than a Test Score

Podcast Websites Customer Support — Mon, 31 Aug 2015 20:52:44 +0000

Students are more than a test score. They have talents within that we as teachers need to cultivate so that students can develop as a whole individual and not just as a student. Hear how I used students’ talents to benefit themselves and the classroom learning process at the same time!

Quotables

My good intentions were boxing in my students to a mold they weren’t designed to be in.
My strength was also my weakness.
I have empowered my students to take more ownership in my class by tolerating a variety of personality traits knowing these talents are beneficial to my students and their growth.
We need to serve the WHOLE child and not hone in on one area that we miss opportunities for the other areas to grow.

9: It’s Not About You

Podcast Websites Customer Support — Mon, 10 Aug 2015 20:57:18 +0000

Teaching has more to do with the students than it does the teacher. However, we often put so much emphasis on our own performance and our own to do list, we forget to affect kids and create opportunities for their growth. Tune in to hear how you can flip the script and empower students every day in your classroom!

Quotables

Everything you do as an educator is for the students
I spent so much time prepping for a lesson in terms of what I was going to say instead of figuring out what I wanted students to say.
It was awesome to see them grow up in a matter of seconds just because I gave them the opportunity to.
Its about being intentional about how you structure your class to ensure students are learning and growing as people

Quotables

Education is about relationships.
Your goal is not to get through content; your goal is to teach students to understand.

7: Failure Means ‘Not Yet’

Podcast Websites Customer Support — Mon, 27 Jul 2015 21:00:15 +0000

Educators can get really down on themselves throughout their career. There are so many factors that make up their feeling of worth that they get distracted and bogged down by any ‘No’ that comes their way. But mistakes and failures aren’t actually as bad as they seem. In fact, they are a GREAT thing. Listen to this episode to hear why.

Quotables

Your journey as a teacher will not be perfect.
Wear your scars proudly because without failure, you can’t be great.
Embrace ‘No.’ It’s not ‘No’ forever. It’s ‘No’ for now.

6: Plan, Prepare, & Produce

Podcast Websites Customer Support — Mon, 20 Jul 2015 21:01:29 +0000

Being a teacher is hard stuff. There are many moving parts to be an effective educator. Three main ways to increase the chances that you become a GREAT teacher is to plan, prepare and produce. Learn what these three words mean and hear real examples from real teachers who are doing these things right now in classrooms across the nation.

Quotables

Planning- In order to do something great in the moment, you need to plan for it behind the scenes.
Preparing- Although this might sound the same as planning, its not. Once you plan for what you want, you must gather all that is required to do it well- this might be physical materials or just spending time practicing.
Producing- Now its time to execute what you have planned and prepared. Go produce.

Nothing worth doing is worth giving up on before you are finished seeing it through. Come get a dose of encouragement to finish!

Quotables:

Why you can’t quit
My pastor always says, “Don’t compare your behind the scenes to someone else’s highlight reel.”
Step into your Stream
