The Dave Burgess Show

Dr. Jill Siler joins me to talk about her incredible book, Thrive Through the Five, and how to step into those big goals and dreams you have in your life. Jill was a long-time superintendent in Texas (Gunter ISD) and now serves as the Deputy Executive Director for Professional Learning for the Texas Association of School Administrators (TASA). She is wonderful keynote speaker and an inspiring voice in education who does not shy away from the reality that although we may love our work, that doesn't mean it isn't incredibly tough and challenging...and there may be even parts that we do NOT like at all. Let us know what you think using the #DaveBurgessShow hashtag on social media.

In addition to being an author, Tisha is a long-time CTE teacher (Culinary Arts), Canva In Education Learning Consultant, international keynote speaker, podcaster, workshop presenter extraordinaire, and...an official "Friend of Dave." :)

Have you ever heard someone say, "Good teaching is good teaching...doesn't matter what the subject is?"
I agree!! It's all about the principles of powerful pedagogy...or what I refer to as the chord structure. That's why I have been able to successfully deliver the Teach Like a Pirate program to groups of educators who are completely outside of my subject matter expertise and who teach any age of student from pre-k to adult learner.
So in this episode I dive into what I mean by the chord structure of powerful teaching.

Yes to collaboration!!! But, KILLaboration is something to avoid. Let's connect with each other to get better...not to become the same. Let's work on improving education...not just standardizing it.
Ideas drawn from a section of my book, Teach Like a Pirate.
I also riff on the quote, "The smartest person in the room is the room." I also share what I would like to do as an edcamp session back in the day.

Hey! My book, Teach Like a Pirate, came out ELEVEN YEARS ago!!! I only was reminded of the exact date (August 18th, 2012) because of some haters on the X app being snarky about the possible death of the message! Ha!! Serendipity!! So I decided to celebrate and chat a bit about the book on this episode. Still here.

I got an email from Lauren in Illinois saying that the "Classroom Kung Fu" section of Teach Like a PIRATE  was super meaningful for her work right now. This inspired me to go back into my book and take a look...and here it is! I read the whole section then riff on it a bit. Enjoy! Oh...and thanks Lauren! Has something resonated with you from #tlap? Let me know!

Knowing when you have enough is a key concept when seeking happiness. Some people never find it. Never enough money. Never enough information or research in order to make a decision. Their work is never quite good enough to ship. There's always more options to explore before taking action. They have analysis paralysis. The truth is that we can many times get as good...or even better results by letting some of that pressure go and understanding the minimum effective dose that gets us almost everything that we truly need.
