10/03/24 • 38 min
Welcome back to a new season of 3Ps in a Pod! This season we will deeply explore a focus on healthy and thriving environments for strong connections and strong schools.
Host Juliana Urtubey, NBCT, will be connecting you with various guests who will help us explore this idea from diverse perspectives and help us think critically about how we all work together to create strong schools that center our students. Through this series, you’ll find both thought-provoking conversations and complimentary professional learning materials linked in our show notes.
In this first episode, we connect with Taryl Hansen, NBCT, and Mary Bouley to investigate how understanding Cognitive Coaching moves can help us reach greater levels of success in professional and personal relationships through improved communication and collaboration skills anchored in compassion. Discover how these ideas can help shift mental models and develop patterns and skills for listening and responding, and learn why communication is a way of being with one another, not just a skill.
Taryl and Mary share how we can further build trust and communicate to others that we believe in them. They discuss how we can support others to be more empowered and self-reliant and ask us to think about how we continue to show students and others that we honor their thinking and encourage a sharing of viewpoints. Mary and Taryl also encourage us to think about what we really mean when we talk about building capacity and what that looks like.

Talking Civic Engagement in the Classroom with Gina Roberts
It’s another election year, and we’re talking with Gina Roberts of the Arizona Citizens Clean Elections Commission about the Civics Classroom Curriculum, a free and available resource to all Arizona teachers.
3Ps host Donnie Dicus welcomes Gina Roberts, the voter education director of the Arizona Citizens Clean Elections Commission, to the podcast. The Arizona Citizens Clean Elections Commission is the state’s non-partisan voter education agency. The commission helps people learn about the logistics of voting and the candidates and the roles they’re running for. It also advocates for participation in the political process.
The curriculum includes lesson plans designed for grades 4-6, 7-8, and 9-12 with a variety of hands-on activities that can work in both an in-person or virtual setting. The curriculum is also aligned with Arizona State Standards.
Gina speaks to how the Arizona Citizens Clean Elections Commission is a voter-created state government agency that is mandated by state statute to provide non-partisan, non-influencing voter education. The curriculum reviews the election processes, the roles and responsibilities of different elected offices, and media and information literacy skills. She also shares about ways students can become more civically involved aside from voting in elections.
Gina also announces that the commission will soon be releasing a comic book to supplement their Civics Classroom Curriculum. The comic book follows the conflict between the hero Captain Activate and the villain Doctor Apathy who aims to create apathetic voters.
Find this free Civics Classroom Curriculum at azcleanelections.gov/civics-curriculum.

In this episode, we explore reflection, what it means to create space for healing, and connect to humanity. Patrick shares with us what this can look like and the importance of radical empathy. He encourages us to develop a reflective practice rooted in truth, how this all connects to healing, and will help us to deepen relationships with students, staff, peers, families/caregivers, and others.
Juliana and Patrick explore the mentee-mentor relationship and the reciprocal nature of learning, feedback, and reflection. Patrick shares with us that by drawing on our own experiences and connecting with the why behind what we do, we can shape classroom environments that are truly inclusive.
We hope that after you listen to this episode you will engage in deep reflection, either with another person or on your own, in order to further explore the ideas that Patrick offered. Find the reflection guide at this link.
