TALENTED EDUCATORS - FUTURE CHALLENGES DISCUSSED

In this one, we gather up several very talented educators to discuss changes to the teaching profession and survival strategies in the era of Covid-19.

 We have two teachers from Albany's Capital Region - Jamie Pink and Tracy Trainor, a local guidance counselor, Lexie Phillips, and educator from Brooklyn, NY, and my niece, Jessica Lorenz. 

There is also a little warning for all teachers put to music at the top of the episode  from yours truly...

 Some of the discussions:   Recess- Will that go away?  How about the lunchroom?  Assembly programs?  Teaching styles - how will it change when you are instructing kids on Zoom vs face to face?  This and much more..  

Also , if you go to my Facebook page @richiephillips - I have some clips of songs written by Jamie and Tracy's students in Jefferson Elementary and Menands School,   The third clip is from Lexie Phillips' school -Carroll Hill in Troy during my "Reading, Writing and Rhyming" songwriting program - something I did for over 20 years during my "stint" as a morning radio cohost.   

Enjoy!
