Remote Classroom Management Ideas with Heather Dowd and Patrick Green

 

Heather Dowd and Patrick Green

Managing remote and hybrid learning experiences can be a difficult task for many educators, so we sought advice from two folks who quite literally wrote the book on digital classroom management. Heather Dowd and Patrick Green wrote Classroom Management in the Digital Age, and in this episode they share and adapt ideas in their book to our current remote and hybrid teaching and learning reality.

Balancing the Superintendent’s Role with Dr. Mike Curry

Dr. Mike Curry

What we intended to be a discussion of school finance really turned into a fantastic talk about managing the stresses involved with leadership. Dr. Mike Curry, Superintendent of the Abingdon-Avon School District in western Illinois, provides his insight, habits, and advice to support school leaders on a daily basis and during difficult times.

Being a superintendent is like being “...a seal balancing a ball while riding a unicycle on a tightrope over a volcano.” --Mike Curry
