Mrs. Lawlor's Podcasts

Imagine getting your dream job. Now imagine, getting an email from your boss asking to meet when you get back. Finally, imagine your boss telling you that your contract is not going to be renewed. In this episode, I am going to talk to ISTE 2019 keynote speaker, Alicia Duell about this story - her story. Co-hosting with me on this episode is Deb Lawlor. Deb teaches vulnerability and empathy in her health classes. I will talk with her about that and we will talk with Alicia together.

This episode is going to be part 1 of a 3 part series on learning HOW to fail. In the next episode Deb and i wil talk with high school kids about failure, and the third episode will visit the elementary school.

We talk about failing in education all the time. It's part of the process of learning. As teachers, we believe that it is important to fail and overcome it. Do we know what its like from a student perspective? In part II of our series on failure, Todd and Deb Lawlor interview Drexel junior and TEDx Lebow speaker, Danielle Senour about having perspective and how she overcame failure. Todd also talks to two of his high school students on success versus failure and what their perspectives are. It is important for educators to understand what their students think.

As always, please leave us feedback in the FLIPGRID, or email me: tbedard2@gmail.com. You can also tweet me @tb2boyz. See you out there!
