The LP: Literature in Practice Podcast (UnboundEd)

Grateful for being able to talk with the authors you see here, and I'm looking forward to more conversations in the next season!

New episode of the pod is out today! I connected with Melissa Loftus and Lori Sappington (@literacypodcast) to discuss their book, "The Literacy 50–A Q&A Handbook for Teachers: Real-World Answers to Questions About Reading That Keep You Up at Night." hubs.la/Q02DvFc30

A new episode of The LP is out now! Join the discussion with Carlos Moreno (@Carlos_Moreno06), author of "Finding Your Leadership Soul: What Our Students Can Teach Us About Love, Care, and Vulnerability." hubs.la/Q02wZZ_00. #Podcast #Education #EdLeadership @bigpiclearning

We got the opportunity to talk to @DrCamikaRoyal about this book, and I can say as a reader that the award is well deserved! "Where Abbott Elementary Meets the Wire"!

One of the most meaningful conversations I got to have with an author was with Barbara Gottschalk about English Language Learners. It made me wish I served them better when I was in the classroom, but gave me hope for other folks to get it right! ubnd.org/43ArQZe

My Time at Fort Mill Middle School was so much fun. This time of year, teachers are worn out. It's always good to bring in speakers who can actually SPEAK to where teachers are and give them fuel to make it through! Thanks again, FMMS #GoJackets #JacketPride #MasteryForAll

Are we changing the policies and practices that COVID revealed are inequitable?

For all of COVID's terrible impact, it caused us to pause and see more clearly what doesn't work in our education system. Have we missed opportunities to change it? Thank you Sheldon Eakins for your book and convo: ubnd.org/47ZirLp

What questions are we missing when we reflect on our classroom instruction?

How much do we include critical student feedback of our lesson plan implementation when we go into team meetings? Sheldon Eakins blew my mind with this question. It's a possibiity too overlooked.

There were some laughs early in our podcast interview with Sheldon Eakins about his book Leading Equity. How would you caption this freeze frame?

The latest episode of The LP: Literature in Practice filled with transparency about bias exploration and other moves that can be made that can improve what we teach and how we teach it! Sheldon Eakins' Leading Equity was the anchor! ubnd.org/3Se4hQy

While I definitely landed in the right place when I became a classroom teacher, this is a gem that I think any prospective teacher should use! Thank you Sheldon Eakins for the book and the conversation! ubnd.org/3vYF45d

Thank you Sheldon Eakins for saying the quiet part out loud. We ALL have biases. Period. How we process them is what matters. Especially in the classroom.

Unconscious biases are real and universal. Educators, what do we do with ours? Shout outs to Sheldon Eakins for the convo we were able to have: ubnd.org/47Yrlsi

"Books create portals and pathways and gateways" 📖💡 Thank you Dr. Nelms for your book Leading With Purpose, which creates portals, pathways, and gateways for folks to lead toward equitable instruction! Full convo: ubnd.org/3vl9lLl

This is one of the reasons I thought it was important to do a podcast focused on educational equity texts. Thanks Dr. Nelms for breaking it down!

Good times about good books and good work! Thank you Dr. Nelms for making the latest episode of the podcast a great one! ubnd.org/3vowk8h

Thank you Dr. Shaun Nelms for the book, convo, and cheat codes for leading teachers towards consistent and sustained equitable instruction! ubnd.org/3NNTZoV

An important question for any education leader that's pursuing equitable instruction!

Principals, coaches, and content leads at the systems level: How are you empowering those you lead to deliver grade-level, engaging, affirming, and meaningful instruction?
