Try it out!)As always, thanks to: Alberto Lugo, one of Jim’s former students, for contributing their music to The Broken Copier podcast—and also Tom Csatari for allowing us to use his band’s recording of “Woodstock” from their 2020 album, Garde...2025-02-1109 minThe Broken CopierThe Broken CopierKTC #16: Find Your RitualFor our 16th Kicking The Copier episode—our continuing series focused on specific mindsets and strategies that can be helpful for teachers and educators—Marcus shared about a ritual that he has come to find considerable value in each year as a teacher—and why he believes finding and leaning into rituals as a teacher can be incredibly affirming and restorative especially within the grind of a school year.

In this conversation, Marcus and Jim begin by reflecting on their own reading identities (06:05) before discussing the article “The Elite College Students Who Can’t Read Books” (16:52) and their initial reactions to it, how severe they think the problem actually is (23:07) and what it means in their classrooms now and going forward.

This isn’t an episode suggesting any specifics of what educators should say or do—that would be the most foolish of enterprises!—but rather to transparently share what one teacher is trying to center in this moment and why.As always, thanks to: Alberto Lugo, one of Jim’s former students, for contributing their music to The Broke...2024-10-1913 minPot k ravnovesju z UršoPot k ravnovesju z Uršo#26 Katarina Keček: ŽIVIŠ ŠELE TAKRAT, KO SE PREMIKAŠKatarina Keček je novinarka več kot 30 let, je tudi tv voditeljica, kolumnistka in pisateljica, pa tudi učiteljica joge.

In this episode, Jim catches up with Marcus and fills him in on how the first few weeks have gone—which, in turn, gives Marcus a chance to reflect on his upcoming school year. A big focus for both Marcus and Jim this year, they realized: making this work in the classroom sustainable going forward, and that is where this conversation ultimately goes.

Education journalist Paige Tutt, however, has done exactly that: she visited numerous school communities that had implemented cell phone bans and interviewed myriad building leaders, teachers, students and families in her research for what became a must-read article for Edutopia: “3 Schools, 3 Principals, 3 Cell Phone Bans.”In this conversation, Paige shares what she observed from across her research, the differences as well as the similarities she noticed across the various schools, and...2024-08-1046 minThe Broken CopierThe Broken Copier"Better Teacher PD?" with Trevor AleoGiven that summer is coming to a close for many teachers out there—or, for a handful, already has!—we decided to focus on that “thing” that we all go through as educators this time of year and that we all have our own opinions about: professional development for teachers.In this episode we’re joined by Trevor Aleo, a full-time teacher and doctoral candidate who spends a lot of time thinking about, designing, and delivering professional development. The conversation focuses on what keeps “Teacher PD” from being a positive experience far too often as well as what “better”...2024-08-0455 minThe Broken CopierThe Broken Copier"How Educators Should Be Thinking About AI" with Marc WatkinsAnother guest interview today on The Broken Copier: Marc Watkins, professor at the University of Mississippi, Director of the Mississippi AI Institute, and author of the blog Rhetorica—a go-to resource for thinking about artificial intelligence through the lens of education, particularly as classroom instructors.

(Dr. Arnold also is gracious enough to offer her Australian perspective on what the “American classroom” must be like based on the different television shows she has seen!)If you are interested in learning more about Dr. Arnold’s...2024-07-201h 05The Broken CopierThe Broken CopierKTC #12: Differentiation Needs To Start With ConversationsIt’s summer and a time for rest and restoration for teachers, so Marcus figured, why not talk about something that riles pretty much every teacher up the moment you mention it?That’s right: differentiation. In this twelfth installment of our Kicking The Copier series of individual reflections, Marcus shares about what he believes made the difference in a more-successful experience with differentiation in his classroom this past year—and also why he is at least somewhat concerned about what that means for the education landscape going forward.As always, thanks to: Alberto...2024-07-0109 minThe Broken CopierThe Broken Copier"What the 5th Grade Classroom Feels Like" with Adrian NeibauerMarcus finally gets a chance to talk with Adrian Neibauer, a 5th grade teacher who just finished his 21st year of teaching and also happens to be the author of Adrian’s Newsletter—probably Marcus’s favorite weekly read on teaching out there.In this conversation, Adrian reflects on his path into the elementary classroom; what it was like to leave the classroom for a different role and then return with a new perspective; and what his classroom looks and feels like at this point in his career. Towards the end, Marcus also asks him about some points...2024-06-1558 minPot k ravnovesju z UršoPot k ravnovesju z Uršo#25 Milena Miklavčič: O VRLINAH ZA RASTOČE IN POLNO ŽIVLJENJEKdo ne pozna Milene?

Mastery-based and minimum grading policies are popular, and this week Marcus and Jim were able to discuss how they see some of these ideas playing out. Grades are very important–to both high school students and teachers–as important vehicles for feedback, motivation, and recognition. As a result, striking the right balance with your gradebook can sometimes be a real challenge, especially when people have different ideas about how to do it best. We’d love to hear your thoughts!

Rather, Marcus makes the argument in this episode that reflecting on how we have previously changed as teachers can allow us to remain humble in the present moment and also open-minded towards different perspectives and future growth.2024-01-2008 minThe Broken CopierThe Broken CopierWe're Done Talking About BreakWelcome to 2024!

Že pri rosnih 4ih letih se je začel ukvarjati s tenisom, ki ga je treniral do svojega 20 leta. Bil je tudi večkratni državni prvak. Pri 16 letih se je tako prvič srečal tudi s športnimi stavami. Vse se je začelo nedolžno in samo za zabavo. Ker pa v vseh stvareh, ki jih počne želi biti najboljši, se je tudi v to malo bolj poglobil. Nažalost se je to kasneje izkazalo kot usodno zanj, in je zaznamovalo naslednjih 10 let njegovega življenja. Tako je kmalu zapadel v o...2023-11-061h 18The Broken CopierThe Broken CopierKTC #6: Thoughts on Saying "No" as a TeacherThis sixth episode of “Kicking the Copier” is a reflection on how teachers so often are asked to do things beyond the basic responsibilities of their classroom—and how “saying no” to these above-and-beyond requests can be really challenging. Still, being intentional and confident in when and why to say “no”? That can be an underrated, important factor in a sustainable, positive teaching career.

As our students have an eye on all these college applications, we’ve seen a lot of different stories floating around about the value of college. Some of the more disingenuous politicians take pleasure in attacking the mere idea of college for political gain, throwing wrenches into an already complicated system that they don’t understand. On the other hand, there is some very compelling reporting about the changing attitudes we (Americans) have about college.

Gre za sveto geometrijo, ki je močno povezana z našim življenjem in okoljem v katerem delujemo. S pomočjo matrice pridemo do lažjega odkrivanja svojih strasti in potencialov ter njihove manifestacije skozi cilje.  Zelo razgledan in poduhovljen podkast, ki odpira vpogled v svet svete geometrije, ezoterike, filozofije, podjetništva, kot tudi fiziologije.Celoten pogovor si lahko ogledate TUKAJ.Vse Podkaste si lahko pogledate tudi v VIDEO različici TUKAJ2022-09-011h 03The Broken CopierThe Broken CopierIf it flies, it spies.
