The Chey and Pav Show: Teachers Talking Teaching

In Episode 82 of The Staffroom Podcast, Chey and Pav talk about Financial Literacy. It is a topic that has been newly added to the Math Curriculum in Ontario, and many teachers have scrambled on how to teach it, even though many agree that it should be included in the curriculum. What kinds of supports do we need to effectively help students with this topic? How should teachers even go about teaching it when they haven't received any professional development on this topic? Chey and Pav cover a lot of ground with this one! A rich discussion with several a-ha! moments throughout!

BONUS: Amplify & Inspire with Pamala Agawa

In this Amplify & Inspire episode of The Staffroom Podcast, Chey and Pav talk to Pamala Agawa, Vice Principal in the York Region District School Board, and disruptor of Education from Ontario, Canada. They talk to Pam about the importance of learning and knowing language within the Indigenous Community, and how we need to be placing more importance on carrying on the stories told by ancestors, as there is so much to be learned about culture and community through the words spoken by the members of the community. Pam also discusses what it means to be a disruptor in education, and how she came to a position in her career and life to be able to do that, with the support of the other strong women doing the same around her. Pam talks about why it's so imperative for educators to be able to do that, but in a safe and protected way.

Listen to Pam talk about the importance of Language and how we can fully start to bring it to the forefront so that Indigenous students can feel empowered, recognized and successful. Listen to find out more from Pamala in this great Amplify and Inspire talk.

EP83: Is Growth Mindset Really Equitable for All?

In Episode 83 of The Staffroom Podcast, Chey and Pav talk about Growth Mindset and whether or not it is equitable practice for everyone in our classrooms spaces. Chey and Pav start the episode by talking about the differences between Growth and Fixed Mindset, where and from whom these theories and pedagogies arose, and then go into their own ideas and examples of learning experiences from their teaching environments. Can we truly expect all of our students from benefitting from this idea of Growth Mindset, and if not, what are we going to do to shift the paradigms in order to enable all of our students from benefitting from the theories presented.
