Supporting our preservice teachers is fundamental to a sustainable education system. Dr Sandy Nicoll has worked with thousands of preservice teachers and through the New Brew podcast is creating a network of educators that support each other's practice. Hosted by Ben Newsome from Fizzics Education About Dr Sandy Nicoll Dr Sandy Nicoll's PhD was conferred in 2019 on the topic: How do primary preservice teachers learn to engage students in learning during professional experience? After teaching in Higher Education since 2007, and a classroom teacher for 3 decades Dr Sandy estimates she has walked alongside over 15,000 pre-service teachers as a tutor and lecturer. She loves the idea of engaging others so we can empower them to create and elevate. These experiences inspired her in 2021 to become the maker for The New Brew Podcast with curators Hema, Jase, Jarryd, Kyle, Rowan and Tash.  Recent research papers:  Ma. K., Chutyiami, M. & Nicoll.

In this episode Pete and Shawtima get pumped for the new teaching year and settle in for the new normal.   Shawtima mentioned using Tango as a tool for making instructables for team members and also violently threatens her team members. But then Shawtima dives deeply into some teacher wellbeing strategies. It’s not always the big moments and stunt work that counts.  If we can work on the simple unsexy stuff then maybe we can have a more sustainable worklife. Also, Pete says he’s fine, just fine… too many times for it to be believable. On a positive note, Shawtima explains some excellent tools for people with Anxiety that Pete has 100% been using since then and it totally has helped.   I tell you what, Libraries are rad and they should be the hub of all schools. Pete had an article but he got distracted by library activists and history. So, enjoy that.   Tiny Wow.

… not that Pete recognises the UN in any way shape or form.   Shawtima talks differentiation this week. Look, differentiation is tricky in the classroom, but it’s worthwhile. There are many aspects of teaching that keep getting harder and harder, but you know what, sometimes that’s the deal.    In good news, Pete’s kids have started watching Bluey and it’s magic.   You can join us at https://www.patreon.com/CatfishEducation. Your support really does help us keep the show running. Huge shout out to our first Teachers Aide and newest Patron, Amberly. You are truly a great human.

In this episode we talk about the impacts of exhaustion.   The Culture Wars are alive and well. Schools are the battlegrounds once again. Education is a political act and again we see how the conservatives/trads are looking to push education History and Maths education into a back to basics approach. It makes Shawtima’s tummy hurt.   Pete learns about Temptation Bundling, this is something that he does all the time.    But our jobs are always political, schools are where the next generation’s culture is started. If it looks like a fascism, smells like a fascism, walks like a fascism, it’s probably a fascism. But this has outcomes that are purely skills based and academic - regardless of the impact on the culture at large.   Streaming/tracking also hinders students and their education. This isn’t surprising at all, but a large collection of data is reviewed.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2021/06/04/california-math-class-detrack-race-equity/   The greatest moment of televised sports in human history.
