🎙 New Episode – The TechEd Clubhouse Podcast Let’s be honest. Most school meetings don’t make teaching better. They’re announcements, reminders, or another initiative teachers are expected to “implement.” But what if meetings could actually improve practice in real time? In this episode, I sit down with Kurtis Hewson from Jigsaw Learning to talk about a structure called Collaborative Team Meetings — a simple way schools are helping teachers share strategies, solve classroom challenges, and unlock the expertise already in the building. We talk about: • Why teaching has become too complex to do alone • The difference between real collaboration and “contrived collegiality” • How one meeting structure can reduce ineffective meetings • Why the best professional development is often the teacher down the hall If you care about teacher professionalism, real collaboration, and practical solutions, this conversation is worth your time. 🎧 Listen now bit.ly/TechEdClubhouse #TechEdClubhouse #EducationLeadership #TeacherCollaboration #EdChat #TeacherLeadership @MatthewXJoseph @NYSCATE @MassCUE @ISTE_ASCD @SMILELearning @HeatherTechEdu

We’re arguing about banning phones. We’re arguing about banning AI. But here’s the question no one is asking: What if the real problem isn’t the technology… but that kids don’t understand how it works? I sat down with Stewart Brown from Code for Kids and we went straight at it: • Is high school too late for real tech literacy? • Are we creating users instead of thinkers? • Are we optimizing for compliance instead of agency? • Is AI exposing what school actually values? This one isn’t about “teaching coding.” @mrswilliams21c @NYSCATE @ISTE_ASCD @MatthewXJoseph @browniesedbites @HeatherTechEdu @teachwiseai
