So we have been slowly letting the cat out of the bag that we are getting set to publish our first book this spring titled THE ABCs OF INSPIRED TEACHING. It is a collection of words that will help teachers breathe life into their craft and their students. The first word in the ABCs is AUTHENTICITY. We believe that this is the mother of all virtues when it comes to inspired teaching. What we are sharing with you in the original recording we did to rough draft the book. We recorded each word, transcribed the conversation, then built the book out from there. We hope you enjoy the conversation and forgive the stuffed nose Kyle had.  More information on the ABCs to come at the start of 2022!!

Here are some of Kyle's thoughts from the week of October 18th. It was a very up and down week with a pretty stressful situation followed by parent-teacher conferences. There was a couple recordings that didn't make it to publish, but I needed to work through some of the frustration. All in all it turned out to be a great week!

Originally when we started workshopping this podcast episode we thought it was going to be about the importance of showing up at events that are important to our students. What it turned into is the importance of being willing to make sacrifices for our students and the number one thing we sacrifice for our kids is out time. We all live lives outside of school and have priorities, but too often we forget about the benefits of sacrificing some of our own time to be there for our kids.  We only see the time we are giving up, but we fail to realize all the benefits of giving that little bit of extra time and effort to our kids. And we don't just mean the benefits to our students either!! What sacrifices are you willing to make to create a better culture for your school and kids??

We know that our schools are not the only ones that are facing a difficult time with staffing, absences, and substitutes. Many teachers are being stretched too thin and having to make tough choices about how to protect themselves and their mental health. On this episode we talk about how we are approaching this challenge on our campuses, why we need to step up if we can, but also why we need to say no when we must. We hope this episode helps you in whatever situation you are in!

I've been trying to work on his reflective practice this school year, so I bought an action camera that I can mount in my car. I have been talking to it on my way to school and home as a form of reflection and I thought I would share it with you. I am working through some things regarding equity and COVID protocols. I thought about cutting them out, but I figured if you hear them and can give me advice I will be the better for it. Thanks for listening!

Welcome back to the Value Adds Value Podcast. On this episode Kyle talks about how he's setting boundaries while giving students that chance to be accountable, how some of the 8th graders are still more like 6th graders, and how you need to be who you are because that person is who your kids need.  If you have advice on how to build accountability while setting boundaries please let us know on social media!!

As teachers it can be easy to try to be someone else. We can fall for the myth that if we copy a teacher who is 'successful' that we will automatically be successful ourselves. Maybe we invent a character of who we want to be as an educator, but both of those take a lot of energy to maintain.   Let's be the best of ourselves!!   Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/valueaddsvalue/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/itskylekrueger/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/its.wil.law.iii/?hl=en Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/itskylekrueger https://twitter.com/its_wil_law_iii Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/valueaddsvalue Check out our Youtube Channel! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ7hVS9BqW0OFOO5SFKxydA The views expressed on this podcast are our own and do not reflect the views of any education agency, district, or school. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/valueaddsvalue/support

Welcome back the the Value Adds Value Podcast! On this episode Kyle talks a little bit about the start of his year and introduces one of the ABCs of Inspired Teaching--AUTHENTICITY. A big part of being authentic as an educator is to be weary of unsolicited advice. It can seem logical to take all the advice you are given as a new teacher, but we mindful of where you are getting your feedback. You never know what someone's motivation is when giving you feedback if they are not in your circle. So make sure you build a tight circle of teachers that will give you the needed feedback to be the teacher you want to be!

Today is the 20th anniversary of the attacks on America that killed 3000 people. The anniversary has got me thinking about how my perspective of the event hasn’t changed in all this time, but how i see the world has. I am spending a few class periods with my students this week to help understand perspective. If I can show them how to have historical perspective maybe I can help them see a broader world view. I’ll keep you posted on how it’s going next week! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/valueaddsvalue/support

On this episode of Value Adds Value we're sharing a conversation we had at the start of 2018 on the importance of setting unique goals. Unique goals are specific to our skills and have a clear path to helping us achieve our big picture goals. Big picture goals are great, but they can be hard to achieve without specific goals that move the ball down the field. On our next episode we are going to share our goals for the 2021-22 school year. We hope you'll check it out!  What are your specific goals for this school year?! Let us know on social media!
