1
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: Don't ask your question real. Let's just keep it real

2
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: straight shye with no chasing, I'm gonna get a little

3
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: bit ruptured. I'm here for it. Those who really believed

4
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: in the American process, all of us street shot no

Speaker 1: Work at Work, Everybody, It is your girl Tesslam figure Out.

8
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: Also here with Marcellus Row once again tapping in with

9
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: you a couple of church announcements that I want to

10
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: get out the way before we get into today's content.

11
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: We had a blast at the push the Line Politics

12
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: until something Happens virtual training that we did, and man,

13
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: we had a good time. Course too was for building

14
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: your coalition, building your tribe. Is you with ambition of

15
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: a rider, And what that was about is learning how

16
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: to build traditional and non traditional coalitions. And so we

17
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: had a really really good class. Thankful, as always Marcella's

18
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: was able to kind of give us some class questions

19
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: and answer back and forth, so we really really got

20
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: a chance to go into that. There's four different resources

21
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: that you will have in your course dashboard in addition

22
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: to the live replay of the class. So what I

23
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: love about it is. Once we have the live class,

24
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: you guys can go back in rewatch it. For those

25
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: who have already purchased the class, you have about sixty

26
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: days that you can rewatch it. And then those who

27
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: want to purchase it for the first time go in

28
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: watch it, stop, start it, and also look at those resources.

29
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: I personally like the on demand. I know people love

30
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: being in the class, but I don't want to undervalue

31
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: the on demand because there's some good things that come

32
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: from being on demand as well, like, for one, being

33
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: able to stop and start it and rewind it and

34
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: okay say that again. Okay, let me write that down.

35
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: Don't look at a on demand as missing out. Look

36
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: at it as a real opportunity. We've got a teacher

37
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: in the building, ice you we're gonna bring here and say.

38
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: She's nodding her head because as a teacher, she understands

39
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: that there's a lot of additional I guess a bonus

40
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: if you will appro with going back and watching something

41
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: on demand. And what it also allows you to do

42
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: is be able to stop and start and if you

43
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: want to, you know, listen to her. Why you're cleaning

44
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: up and you want to pick it up later. If

45
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: you want to listen to it, you know in the car.

46
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: It's just a really really good tool guy. So don't

47
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: don't look at it like, oh I missed the class,

48
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: it's too bad. Look at it as going through the process,

49
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: especially with those resources, because when you see those worksheet resources,

50
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: you can work it in real time as we did

51
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: in the class. So those who you know, thought the

52
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: first class was kind of you know, basic, because it

53
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: just talked about the you know, roles and responsibilities and

54
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: we just kind of did an overview. Course two to

55
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: me and you can tell me Marcelli's but course too

56
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: to me really started getting into the meat of things,

57
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: you know, really started unpacking. You know, this is what

58
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: now that you know your role, while you have an

59
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: idea where your role is, or you know who you

60
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: might want to serve in this space, now, how do

61
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: you build your tribe?

62
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: So I really enjoyed it.

63
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: You have a script in there on how to email

64
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,119
Speaker 1: people to ask in a partner with you, or how

65
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: to call them to ask in a partner with you.

66
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: You have a mapping, a coalition mapping to tell you,

67
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: like what your strategy should be. You have a template

68
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: to be able to write out with those traditional and

69
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: non traditional sources are. I went through each one of

70
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: those columns to give you things to think about. Marcella's was,

71
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: as usual, such a great class participant to allow me

72
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: to have him do that in real time, because that's

73
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: also helpfuless too. You know, not something scripted, but you

74
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: don't really do it in real time, and so we

75
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: were able to sort through some of the challenges that

76
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: he was even having on how to identify traditional non traditional. Well,

77
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: I know, guys, you can't afford everything. I've made it

78
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: as reasonable as I possibly can. The class is fifty bucks.

79
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: You can use ten dollars off by using the coupon

80
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: Let's go. But if you cannot afford both classes, I

81
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: also have a bundle that's available course one and two

82
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: for seventy five dollars.

83
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: But if you can only afford one course, and I.

84
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: Typically ask people to do things culatively, meaning one after

85
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: the other, to build a foundation. But if you can

86
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: only afford one course, due course too, due course too,

87
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: because you're going to get a lot from that on.

88
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,799
Speaker 1: How do you build your tribe those who are aligned

89
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: with you and those who are not. We had a

90
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: real life troll in the class, and so you got

91
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: a chance to speak, you know what, how to handle

92
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: a distraction, because I should. What always said, I'm going

93
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: to introduce my guess at a minute, but I'm talking

94
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: to her now. What I wanted people to know is,

95
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: like Malcolm X said, he did. My favorite speech that

96
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: Malcolm X did. One of my favorite are the favorite

97
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: is Ballot of the bullet in nineteen sixty and before

98
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: he began that speech, he said, welcome to my friends

99
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: and enemies. He said, it would be foolish of me

100
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: to know that a crowd this big that there are

101
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: no enemies. And so this was a wonderful opportunity to

102
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: show that people will actually pay to be opposition.

103
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 2: They will pay in the room, they will pay to

104
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 2: distract you.

105
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: And any time you are doing work for the lease

106
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: of these, I wish I had somebody the time you

107
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: are doing work for the lease of these, you can

108
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: expect the principality to show up absolutely and distract you

109
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 1: all sight. And so it was a great opportunity for

110
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: me to use that individual as an example. And it

111
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: also gave an opportunity to show how you can make

112
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: the enemy flee. I wish I had somebody, I mean,

113
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: flee out the room, because when you are standing in purpose,

114
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: and when you are standing in principle, at some point

115
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: you cut off the head of the snake. I for one,

116
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: you up out of here, because I'm going nowhere. I'm

117
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: standing steadfast, unmovable. Now a lot of y'all would say, well,

118
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: just remove him from the classroom.

119
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 2: Why don't you just move on?

120
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I want you to see me go ahead

121
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: and cocker the enemy. I want you to know what

122
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: it means. Man, I wish I'm I'm preaching. I'm trying something,

123
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: but I can't help it. If day one is here.

124
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: And we used to have a drill team. One of

125
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: the one of our favorite things we used to do

126
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: and our drillers for God is putting on the armor

127
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: of God. And we would go through each and every

128
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: step of what it mean to have the helmet on

129
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: and the sword on in the arm, in the armor.

130
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: And I didn't know what that meant when I was

131
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: ten years old, but I know what it means now.

132
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: In that class, you can see what it means to

133
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: have on the full armor.

134
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 2: You don't flee from nothing.

135
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: Somebody gonna lead a situation and it ain't gonna be me, so,

136
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: it ain't gonna be me so and and I want

137
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: you to pay close attention how to not be disturbed,

138
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: how to not be thrown off, how to not be.

139
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 2: Anxious, to deal with it head on face to play.

140
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, So if you can't get any other course, get

141
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: that when I'm I'm so excited. I hope patrol signed

142
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: up for three, four and five. I'm looking for bring

143
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: them right, let's put that we'll see.

144
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 2: In real time.

145
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: So it was phenomenal. I'm gonna get into our show

146
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: here in a minute, but I do want to stand

147
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: before I introduce. I guess I do want to stand

148
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: Marcella's a moment just to talk a little bit about

149
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: the course, because I'm just fired up. I am fired

150
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: up because I'm telling you that troll. It was just

151
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: an amazing Nothing was disrespectful. You know, it didn't get ugly.

152
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: And for those of y'all have follow me live, y'all

153
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 2: know I can get real ugly. But it ugly. But

154
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 2: it just told you how I.

155
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: Kept trying to bring the person along, and they kept back,

156
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: pushing back, pushing back, kept on talking to just could

157
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: not get out of her own way, and so I

158
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: showed a lot of that's how a lot of our

159
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: blessings really prevent us. Whether you're talking about a job

160
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: or we're gonna be talking about today, whether you're talking

161
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: about positive it, you just can't get out of your

162
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: own way. And I have been, I've been in my

163
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: own way. I have not done all things. I've been

164
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: in my way, and I'm sure I'm gonna get in

165
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: my way in a lot of other things in life.

166
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't just we're always growing, guys. So the class

167
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: just kind of showed the real life is. So before

168
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: we get into today get into today's show, let me

169
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: let Marcella's just kind of give his feedback on the

170
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: class as well.

171
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 2: All right, So I actually enjoyed the class.

172
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 3: What I learned that is I did not know that

173
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 3: the NLACP is considered traditional. I thought it was considered

174
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 3: non traditional. So I learned that.

175
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: Can I ask you before you go move forward with that,

176
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: because in case they didn't, why tell me what?

177
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,719
Speaker 2: Why do you consider it non traditional? What makes you

178
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 2: I have a guess on why, but I'm just curious.

179
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: I want to hear why. I really don't know. I

180
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: just really thought it was just considered non traditional.

181
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: Is it the word traditional that is that you're that

182
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 1: you're getting stuck on traditional? Are you thinking about mainstream white?

183
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: Are you thinking non traditional because it's not a because

184
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: it's an organization that focus on people of color. Yeah, okay,

185
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: that's I assume that was your answer. So just so

186
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: we know, so that would go this little training tip

187
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: for those of you know, I can't help it. What

188
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: you're talking about is a diverse organization. So that goes

189
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: more into the line of you know, what is diverse,

190
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: you know, reaching out to different groups black, white, Hispanic, whatever,

191
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: so they fit into a diversity. But when we talk

192
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: about traditional just the way you know, I love you know,

193
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: I believe in in words just traditional alone. The n

194
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: of ACP has been around, you know, over one hundred years,

195
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: you know, so when we say traditional, what would be

196
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: coalition building of traditional? First you want to look at,

197
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: you know, what is the norm. And so we're talking

198
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: about something that is nor Let's just look at the

199
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: definition traditional existing in or a part of a tradition

200
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: long established. So the word traditional except means long established.

201
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: It doesn't true And I should have went more into

202
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 1: this with the class. But you know we're here now

203
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: long established. It's not speaking to diverse, it's not speaking

204
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: to radical, it's not speaking just long established. And the

205
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: NAACP has been in over one hundred years. And then

206
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: we go on a second layer and say, when we

207
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: build coalitions, meaning we're trying to get people aligned to

208
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: move something forward, it is even more so so traditional

209
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: because the NAACP was started just for that, you know,

210
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: a coalition of the advancement of Color People. So not

211
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: only are they long standing, but they also in reference

212
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: to coalition building, which is what the class was about,

213
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: they both of those marks because that's all they do.

214
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: Now people may disagree and say they don't do it

215
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: good enough and they don't do whole nother conversation, but

216
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: if we're just checking the box on a traditional organization

217
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: that builds coalitions, it literally is the National Association of

218
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: the Advancement of Colored People. The colored people part is

219
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: what makes them diverse. But they are absolutely traditional in

220
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: the sense of tradition, churches traditional. Anytime we're talking about coalitions,

221
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: coalitions is where do I go to find a whole

222
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: bunch of people that are on one page or find

223
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: a group of people that are on one page. That's

224
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: going to be your church, that's going to be your NAACP,

225
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: your urban league. Now, non traditional can still be an

226
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: organization that is established, meaning they have organization rules by laws,

227
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: like my example, the bikers for those of them know,

228
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: bikers actually have rules and bylaws, and they do have

229
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: established rules, many of them that say we're gonna give

230
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: community service every year, We're gonna do X, y Z.

231
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: But then the respect in the respect of coalition building

232
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: or community outreach. If I were to say, go get

233
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: organizations that are hyper focused on voter outreach, people may

234
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: not go to the bikers first. So I look at

235
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: them as a you know, non traditional Where am I

236
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: gonna go first? If we look at the tradition of

237
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 1: voter outreach is pretty much the same the churches, the sororities,

238
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: the fraternities, and the NAACP, the urban league. But non

239
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: traditional organizations, even though they may be long and established,

240
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: they may not be the norm tradition. When you're looking

241
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: at a candidate on who can I go, you know,

242
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: bring into the fold? And that is why Trump was

243
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: highly successful and non tradition. You don't have to like him,

244
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: but they were highly successful in bringing in non traditional organization,

245
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: I can go do an outreach to a game a gang.

246
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: Believe it or not, they actually have by laws, They

247
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: actually have rules.

248
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 2: Some of them actually have it in writing.

249
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 1: When you talk about the Gates of Disciples in Chicago,

250
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: the vice lords in the side, they actually have a constitution.

251
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: United Blood Nation has a constitution. They are long, they arewithstanding,

252
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: they are organized. But if I'm talking about how to

253
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: build voter outreach, I'm not gonna go to United Blood Nation.

254
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: So they would fall into a non traditional coalition that

255
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: I actually can get involved and get them to sign

256
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: petitions to move something forward, for example in California with

257
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: removing the gang enhancement the two points of the gang enhancement.

258
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 1: That is an actual non traditional organization that has a

259
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: vested interest in that particular policy that you can get involved.

260
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: Does that make sense?

261
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

262
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: So that class, guys, was how do you engage traditional

263
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: and non traditional? And the reason why you need to

264
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: know where they fall is because that is how you're

265
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: going to create your outreach and where the need is.

266
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: And right now, traditional organizations they are struggling because they

267
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: have not been building relationships with non traditional and Trump

268
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: has turned them upside down on their heads. See, felons

269
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: were never a group of people that they would organize

270
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: because they say, felons don't vote, they're disengaged. Why would

271
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: I bring them in? And Trump was allowed. Trump was

272
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: very creative and making sure that they engage those non

273
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: traditional groups.

274
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 2: Does that make sense? So you need to know because

275
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 2: one of.

276
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: The things we learned in the class is how do

277
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: you break into those groups? And the best way to

278
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: break into those groups is getting somebody that's closer to

279
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: the solution, which means a gang member, not you trying

280
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: to go talk to a gang member.

281
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 2: A gang member. They can go talk to a gang member.

282
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: So that's why, guys, you need to know like who

283
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: you're outreaching to, because you need to know how to

284
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: get in and build that relationship.

285
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: Is there anything else? Marcella's no. I think that was

286
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 2: pretty much.

287
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 3: Of course, you know, I enjoy you know, making example

288
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 3: out of the troll as usual, and I think the

289
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 3: class pretty much enjoyed it. Even the class was trying

290
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 3: to tell, you know, tell the person you know, chill.

291
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 2: Out, relax and just cannot keep that composed. They just

292
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 2: had to say.

293
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: Something, and I think that was great and That is

294
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: what real life organizing is. Even though it's virtual. When

295
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: we go organize on the ground in Detroit, as I

296
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: mentioned when we did that with Bernie Sanders, there is

297
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: somebody in the room that is going to press you

298
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: each and every time, question everything, and say go back

299
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: and forth literally a distraction, like even in the class,

300
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: and I'm sure our good teacher here today will be

301
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: able to talk about retractions. So there are distractions, whether

302
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: it's a child in the class, if it's the administration,

303
00:15:54,960 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: if it's policy, if it's whatever, there are distractions. So, guys,

304
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm excited because moving forward, every episode moving forward will

305
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: be a how to. You guys know that training is

306
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: close to my heart. I can't put a thousand different

307
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: courses in my training program. So I've decided and shout

308
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: out to Black Effect for allow me to do so.

309
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: I will be rebranding this podcast to everything is how To,

310
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: how To, how To?

311
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 2: How To?

312
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: I am I have a big urgency on getting you

313
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: information that you need. Most podcasts are talking about the what,

314
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: what's wrong, what's happening, what's this, what just happened last week,

315
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: what's going on on this reality show?

316
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 2: What is Trump doing? What what, what what?

317
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: I want to focus on the how and the how

318
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: may not just be politics. I always find a political

319
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: message and everything, but I want to do how how,

320
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: how to get the information out? And there's no better

321
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: person that I that can kick this off. We've done

322
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: a couple of how tos, but this is our first

323
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: one that I am officially saying that it is now

324
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: a how to with telim figure out podcast. And there's

325
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: no better person that I will bring in that I

326
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 1: trust to give you information on how to. And that

327
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: is my day one, my rideer, my everything, my prayer partner.

328
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: I will slip your throat if you ever come in

329
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: her any kind of way, physically, mentally, all of that.

330
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 2: This is the one if you want to know where

331
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 2: my strength comes from.

332
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: We are total opposite women in a lot of ways,

333
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: not at our foundational beliefs and who we are as

334
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: women in character, but we are different, you know, and

335
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: how we operate and how we move through the world

336
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: and our industries and things like that. And she has

337
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: absolutely been the yang to the yang. And people don't

338
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: get a chance to see my weakness. Oh tells you

339
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: need to have to have a moment. I do it

340
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: just ain't for you. But this lake right here has

341
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: seen it all. And so I want to welcome twenty

Speaker 2: Yeah, I was working. I was sweating. What was liketing?

359
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,680

00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: a bachelor's degree. And what is the computer?

363
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 3: It's a business administrator technology right in technology.

364
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: He came up there with two with times too. I said, fine,

365
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: he's blaming it on you. Yes, he said, that's how

366
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: he wanted. I said, okay, tell us, but no, I said,

367
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: it's yes.

368
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 2: He been wanting to get you.

369
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: On because we've been talking about I've been making it

370
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: about training anyway. You know, people be I won't talking

371
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: about I talked about news, but y'all didn't get this information,

372
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: so I don't need information, and so we've been wanting

373
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: to get you on. And so today we're going to

374
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: talk about how to survive your first year of teaching

375
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 1: K through twelve. And the reason why I said K

376
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: through twelve is because of guys. I know all of

377
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: y'all swear y'all teachers, yawar, y'all teachers on fine, everybody,

378
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: this something. The teacher that I got news for you

379
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: are not a teacher when we used the firm teacher.

380
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: Just so we're clear for me, I'm talking about like

381
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: K through twelve. I say I'm a trainer because I'm

382
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: a trainer. I'm a professional development trainer. I'm a substitute teacher,

383
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: but I'm not a teacher, and I'm certainly down sure

384
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: i ain't no certified, So we need to be careful

385
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: with our words out here in the street. And that's

386
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: an of reason why I'm doing these how tools y'all

387
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 1: just got y'all bloody lines too much for me.

388
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 2: I like distinction.

389
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: You know who is who and what is So we

390
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: are talking about K through twelve, we ain't talking about

391
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 1: you seven point of teachers online that don't set up objectives,

392
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: that don't set up classroom rules, that don't have to

393
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: take a take a student from A to B or

394
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: A to Z at the end of the semester.

395
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 2: Who's not held accountable? Hello, somebody on.

396
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: What is actually where the students actually laying on the information?

397
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 2: Exactly?

398
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, y'all love talking about y'all teachers, But how we

399
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 1: know you teaching? How we know they're picking up what

400
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: you're putting down? Well, when you actually teach through the

401
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: K through twelve, you actually kind of held accountable. And

402
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: then there's the collegiate level that I'm qualified teaching on.

403
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: And that's why they call them professors. Then I called teachers,

404
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: they're called professors because now that it's a different structure,

405
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: a different requirement of different So when I say teach,

406
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: y'all need y'all know we're talking to a real teacher

407
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: and she's gonna give you some things that you need

408
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: to be aware of for survival during your first year.

409
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: So I'll give it to her and then we'll kind

410
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: of give us some moment to kind of ask questions.

411
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: I know Marcella's always have some good questions, so I'm

412
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: gonna kind of I'm gonna let you lead this. A

413
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: shuld was just kind of running us through Miss Robinson,

414
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: my apologies, and then let I know, Marcella's will probably say,

415
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: I got a question, but we're gonna let you just

416
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: kind of lead through.

417
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm gonna start with the first one. When

418
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 2: we first.

419
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: Started talking about this Tesla, and remember I said I

420
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 1: was only gonna do three, but then immediately after we

421
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: got off the phone, I did three. But I was like,

422
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: oh no, you need to have this and then you

423
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: need to know this, and it ended up being seven.

424
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 2: I probably could have gone on to ten.

425
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: But one thing that is really important, and this is

426
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: not my first point, it's probably point number eight teachers,

427
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: the first year teachers, they don't need to get overwhelmed.

428
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: And that's first year teachers or any of your feature.

429
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: Make sure you don't overwhelm yourself. So that's why I

430
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: kind of stopped at seven. But number one is have

431
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: a solid confidant and someone that same person you just

432
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: needs to serve as your mentor at your school. You're

433
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: gonna need someone to bounce ideas off of. You're gonna

434
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: need someone to really understand the culture of the school,

435
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: which is another thing that I said. Be sure that

436
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: you understand the culture of the school and the vision

437
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: and the mission of the school. And no better person

438
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,239
Speaker 1: than you know, a confidant that you are trusting that

439
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: they are going to, you know, be a good spirit,

440
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: not be a debbie downer, that's what we call them

441
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: at school, but someone who's gonna lead you through those

442
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: things that are in house type things.

443
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 2: I have the culture of the school. Now let me

444
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 2: ask I'm sorry because I want to know.

445
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: Okay, I want to make sure because I want to

446
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: make sure they following alone and seven is good, by

447
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 1: the way, and adult learners love tens, as you know.

448
00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 2: So that's enough.

449
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: Let's unpack that a little bit when we say the

450
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: culture of the school, because that's critically important. I want

451
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: to I want you to kind of expound on that

452
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: on what that culture means, because for example, you have

453
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: taught and the charter schools and private and public you've

454
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: done this a lot, and so can give us an example,

455
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: and I'll just use my personal example at from the

456
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: parents standpoint, when I had Jada at the Christian charter schools,

457
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: the culture was, you know, hey, scholars. You know, they

458
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: called the students scholars, they called them. They had Barack

459
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: Obama and Michelle Obama all around the school. There was

460
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: a different way in how students are disciplined. There was

461
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: a different expectation for parents. Although that compared to when

462
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: she went to a public school, and particularly when when

463
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: she had to go to a public school one time

464
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: that was not in a neighborhood that I would have

465
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: been my preference. The culture was totally different, yelling students,

466
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, scream me a lot of misbehavior in the classroom.

467
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: So I want you to expand talk a little bit

468
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: about and you may not talk about classroom culture, but

469
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: just talk a little bit about when you think about culture,

470
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: what are you talking are you because I'm sure you're

471
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: talking about also how the administration interacts with the ye

472
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: all of this. So give them some examples on as

473
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: far as culture is concerned, how that could be, why

474
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: that is so key that you know, basically, you know

475
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: your audience, which is what we talk about in politics,

476
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: so you can know how to move and not crash out.

477
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: Give a couple of examples on why culture is so important. Yes,

478
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 1: so culture is very important so you won't crash out

479
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: because if you're not aware of the culture and you

480
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: go against the grain, it could cause you a lot

481
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: of stress. So when you say culture, you're talking about

482
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: expectations of the principle, expectations of your grade level. How

483
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: do we discipline the students at the school? How new

484
00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: we address the students?

485
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 2: Is it y lean?

486
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: Do we call them students? Do we call them scholars?

487
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: What is the culture around addressing parents? Do the parents

488
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: always get their way or do you have some support

489
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: from administration as far as parental issues are concerned or

490
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: student issues are concerned. So that culture is defined by

491
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 1: you know, the administration and how they operate and how

492
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 1: they want things to move. Shout out to my school

493
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: that I'm at now, Date Academy in Stone Mountain, Georgia.

494
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: We have a very strong culture. I love my school.

495
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: It is I hope I can say that it is

496
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: black and black black. Yeah, I love it, Oh my god.

497
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: We do address them as scholars, but we were. Everyone

498
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: wears a uniform, so that sets the tone. Even though

499
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: I don't like the uniforms because I like fashion, but

500
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: I try to rock the uniform anyway I can. But

501
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: that sense the town for you know, how the school

502
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: day is going to go straighten up, your your blazer,

503
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: but your tie on, tucking their shirt tails. So that's

504
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: part of our culture. We also love to have fun,

505
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: so we do a lot of uplifting dancing and you

506
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: know test Now, I know you don't like the fans,

507
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: but we have our fans out every Friday, you know,

508
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: we have we get our fans out. But we have

509
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: team building activities that go throughout the school. So the

510
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: culture there is a family oriented culture because it's only

511
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: K through eight, so we are able to work closely.

512
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 2: With one another. If you've been there for more.

513
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: Than five years, you've seen students matriculate from kindergarten all

514
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: the way the eighth grade.

515
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,719
Speaker 2: So we have, you know, a very strong family culture.

516
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: So it's important to understand those aspects of your school now.

517
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: So there's one thing with understanding. And then you also mentioned,

518
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: you know, going against the grain. You said, so that

519
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: you don't go against the grain now, we want to

520
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: be clear because I want to I love this, the

521
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: love and stuff. The politics there are where you do

522
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: have the challenge the system absolute like you're saying, there's

523
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 1: a time and place and you need to know how.

524
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: And then also what's also important is the culture may

525
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: not be for you. And that's what we did in.

526
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 2: The class this weekend. That was extra control.

527
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: What I was telling Control, like, she doesn't like my style,

528
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: And I said, but it's kind of like at the

529
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 1: collegiate level. Because she thought it was. She thought she

530
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 1: was a customer, you know, as a pain. I said, no, no, no,

531
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: that's not what it is. It's like at a college level,

532
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: if you don't like the professor, you drop the class.

533
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 2: The class.

534
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 1: It's not you telling me how to you, you drop it,

535
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: which can be different in the public setting because the

536
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: public school, you're paying taxes, you live in that arie

537
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: K just dropped the school, so you may the parent

538
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 1: may have more. That's why they got pta and involvement.

539
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 1: And I don't like this and I don't like that.

540
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: But at the collegiate level, this is why I'm not

541
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 1: a teacher. This is I'm a trainer. If you don't like,

542
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: if you don't like the trainer, you drop it and

543
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: you go somewhere to I'm not speaking up my culture

544
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: that I know works. That's already been worry And it's

545
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,959
Speaker 1: not that I'm not open to ideas. That wasn't it

546
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: that what this person was a troll you? That was

547
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 1: me set in the tone of who is the teacher

548
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: and who is the student? Now, who's the transfer student posture?

549
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: And that's also and that's even important as a substitute

550
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: teacher when I go in day what I make it

551
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: clear I'm not like the other subs. Let's be clear,

552
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: your regular teacher's not here. But we are going to

553
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: learn today. Just so we all the page, let's set

554
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: the tones. So I just wanted to ask that quickly.

555
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: When you say so that you don't stress yourself out,

556
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 1: are you saying that meaning that if you have challenges

557
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: with if you do want to go against the grain,

558
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: don't stress yourself out and learn how to do it.

559
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: Is that what you were saying you? That is absolutely

560
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: what I'm saying because one of my one of my

561
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: points is point number six. Now wait a minute, one

562
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: of my points is don't a band number seven, don't

563
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: aband the best practices.

564
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 2: So there is most definitely a time to aband and

565
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 2: not abandoned.

566
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: When we're talking about you never want to abandon what

567
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: you've learned in your study and in your training to

568
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: become a teacher. You always want to implement best practices.

569
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: But when it comes to a culture which requires you

570
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: to absorb, we are not Teachers are not supposed to absorb.

571
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 2: You know, certain things from parents, you know if a.

572
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: Parent is and when we don't absorb everything, it's okay

573
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: to advocate for yourself in certain situations. So for example,

574
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: if you have your classroom expectations set up, the students know,

575
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: you know what is expected, and they make a choice,

576
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: that choice is there that they make.

577
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 2: If they make a choice to go against the.

578
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: Expectation, you don't absorb the consequences for that.

579
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 2: That is that student's choice.

580
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: So in that case, you're going to advocate here are

581
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: my classroom expect I'm going to go against what you're saying.

582
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: As far as like I had to appear and tell

583
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: me I need to do a better job at something,

584
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: she said. I didn't even hear the rest because one

585
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: thing you don't get to do is come in here

586
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: in my twenty six year. This was the past year

587
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: in twenty six years, and tell me what I need

588
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: to do a better job at in my profession. Your

589
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: child made a choice. You need to live in that.

590
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: So when it comes to advocating and standing on best practices,

591
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: you definitely need to stand on that. Let me ask

592
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: you this, because you you made a good point in

593
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,479
Speaker 1: your twenty seven years, But what about the person this

594
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: is their first year?

595
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 2: How do they do you?

596
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: Should they allow themselves grace to get dollars, know what

597
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: works and what don't work. Because your position of twenty

598
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: six years is different than that first year teacher. So

599
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: what do you have to say to that first year

600
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: teacher in what they learned? Best practices that theory and

601
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: not necessarily real life in the classroom. So that's that's

602
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: what having a good mentor and a good confidant is

603
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: going to help you sort through making sure that you

604
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: are adhering to best practices and with that, making sure

605
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: that you are not being a sponge absorbing everything because

606
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: people expect teachers to absorb whatever comes to and that's

607
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: not necessarily the case. Even with sometimes with administration, you

608
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,959
Speaker 1: do want to keep your job, you know, and you

609
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: do want to determine, like you said, maybe this school

610
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: culture is not the one for me. Okay, so that

611
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: may be absolutely the decision, you know, at some point,

612
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: but having that mentor helping you determine the separation between

613
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: best practices, absorbtion and just you know, staying with the

614
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: grain and going against the grain. It's kind of like

615
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: a relationship where you got to see what you're gonna

616
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: put up with, you know, you' I was gonna ask

617
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: because that's a fast word saying absorbed.

618
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 2: Basically you said, what shit you're gonna tolerate? Is that tolerate?

619
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 2: And what ship you liked?

620
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, this ain't okay, kept saying, you know, we gotta

Speaker 2: I'm not gonna absorb I'm not going to be moving

00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 2: forward to you. I'm gonna start saying I resist the

626
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 2: absorption of this.

627
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: I will.

628
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 2: No more absorbtion.

629
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, just oh yeah, I love that.

630
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

631
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to make sure everybody follow us with

632
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: what mss Robinson saying as no, I like, I like, no,

633
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: I want you to that's what I love about this

634
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: I'm we're here to ask questions as a lay person.

635
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: You want information as a professional teacher, as you should.

636
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,479
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah here and and this is what I love

637
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 2: about adult education is as side.

638
00:32:59,520 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: Know.

639
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 2: Why I love what I do is because.

640
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: The adult ed, the adult student wouldn't stop and ask you,

641
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: what do you mean by absorber?

642
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 2: I knew what you meant, but I'm asking it may

643
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 2: not ask.

644
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: And that's what I love about adult education, because the

645
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: adult would say, well, absorbed means absorbed. I got a

646
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure what she means x y Z, but

647
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: I always wanted to find clarity. Tella said, the thing

648
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: he learned was I didn't know the end. A lot

649
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: of people wouldn't say that because they would say, well,

650
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: why you didn't know that?

651
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 2: You should know that.

652
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: And that's why I love myselves, because he's always gonna

653
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: ask a question and somebody else asked the question, and

654
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: they just simply will not ask. So that's why I'm asked.

655
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,959
Speaker 1: So you are doing exactly perfect how you should do.

656
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,239
Speaker 1: Just you know, I'm gonna ask questions just to make

657
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: sure the people are definitely following.

658
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 2: So that's a good one. Okay, So that's that skipping

659
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 2: around on this list.

660
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't worry about the list in order, just get

661
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: tips on when it makes sense, when you can when

662
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: it seems thingless, and just kind of because they're because

663
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: just like at school, and I love this as a

664
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: side note and also politic note, everything is not always

665
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,919
Speaker 1: in order. And that's even with the classroom. That's right

666
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: that you've talked about it. I know frustration teachers have.

667
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: You know, we need to read chapter one, two, three,

668
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: four going that order, but sometime it might cause you

669
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: to skip around. Sometime it may call it absolutely let

670
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: me stop here and let me go there. And so

671
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: the flexibility which we love about the child a flexibility.

672
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 1: So this is a real life example that guys, I

673
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: love when we have real time stuff. The teacher came

674
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: in with the expectation of Okay, I'm gonna go through

675
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 1: these seven things. But then now as she's explaining it verbally,

676
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: it may not be in that order.

677
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 2: And yes, let me put a pin on that.

678
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: In organizing, you may go because you guys know, I'm

679
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: always gonna give you some organized and stuff, mainly because

680
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: these are all the same. You may go in saying

681
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk to the churches first, and then I'm

682
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: gonna talk to the youngs, and then I talk to

683
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: Da da. But you may go talk to the churches

684
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: and they tell you don't go over there with them

685
00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: union people.

686
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 2: They da da da da dad. You need to on

687
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 2: X Y Z.

688
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 1: So when you're organizing, which is getting people all on

689
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 1: the same page, very similar to teaching. Yeah, teaching, I

690
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:13,720
Speaker 1: have flexibility on how I'm moving to get the job done.

691
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: And when you're organizing, the test is do they show

692
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: up on voting day. When you're teaching, the test is

693
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: do they do well on the test. And that's why

694
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: I'm getting right for a lot of people who just

695
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: be talking on podcasts because I don't have no way

696
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:27,959
Speaker 1: of testing and the knowledge on what you say.

697
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 2: How do we know the data? Yeah? Where is the data?

698
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: Where is because I need to know where's the Marcellus

699
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: I started, we want to sell us five years ago.

700
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 2: We can see that, we can see the growth. Yeah,

701
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 2: where is it?

702
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: Absolutely if we ain't seeing the student go from being

703
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: the observer, the commenter, to the trainee to now my

704
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: right hand, and we ain't seeing no growth, I don't

705
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,479
Speaker 1: know if you absolute because I need to see that's it,

706
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: that's it, and that and that's just just I don't

707
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: have no respect on no people talking about.

708
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 2: No teachers show me the And it's not even just

709
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 2: by test all the time too.

710
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: We know people may not do well on tests, but

711
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: I should be able to be able to identify a

712
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: few things to say, Okay, she must know something about something.

713
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: If they're not doing well here, they should be doing

714
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 1: well somewhere. But bottom line is I need to know

715
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: to that. And that's just about Miss Robins. So there

716
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 1: were two things that you said that I wanted to

717
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: speak on for first year teachers. One of them is

718
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: don't be afraid to ask questions and let's know what

719
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 1: you don't understand a lot of times there's this stigma

720
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 1: and teaching where teachers have to know everything, but really

721
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: it should be teachers are lifelong learners, and what is

722
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: a learner if they don't ask questions. So whenever you

723
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: don't understand something, whether it be an acronym because there's

724
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: a lot of acronyms out there, whether you don't understand

725
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:53,760
Speaker 1: something about a standard, or whether you don't understand something

726
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,439
Speaker 1: about how to go forth and whatever, the what part

727
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 1: of the curriculum you're using.

728
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 2: Ask questions.

729
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: Don't be afraid to ask questions because you should not

730
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: be expected to know everything. Like I said, this is

731
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: year twenty seven for me and I still don't know

732
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: it all, and I'm glad I don't.

733
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 2: I am.

734
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: I would call myself a master teacher, but I am

735
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:17,919
Speaker 1: possible a lifelong learner. So let me pass the master

736
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: teacher because you know, I had a conversation with somebody

737
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: offline about that, about being a master communicator, and they

738
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: thought perfection. No, no, no, it means she's mastered the

739
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: skill set at that level. Just absolutely. It means because no,

740
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: I've mastered it. I would like to say that after

741
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: twenty seven years. Yeah, she's mastered it, you know. And

742
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: if I'm not, what am I doing?

743
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 2: That's right? And you know twenty seven right, And you

744
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 2: don't have to like it on my style.

745
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: It just like I said yesterday in the training, Oh

746
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: I think I know a little bit of something. Let's

747
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,439
Speaker 1: go back and look at this twenty eleven video. Yeah,

748
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: I've mastered it. It don't mean I know it all,

749
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: but I'm definitely a master teacher. Oh for sure, that's it.

750
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: That's me I'm master trainer to just be clear about

751
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 1: it and stand Guys, if.

752
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 2: You are know who you are and what you are

753
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 2: and who you are.

754
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: You better know that because your confidence is gonna be

755
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,479
Speaker 1: questioned all the way through. Okay, thacktims right the way through. Yes,

756
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: That's why I followed up by saying, I'm a life

757
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: on learner because things change, education changes, your students definitely change.

758
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: So if you're in it for the long haul, you

759
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: really have to be a lifelong learner. One of the

760
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: other things that you talked about is being flexible. At

761
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: my school, we say learn how to pivot. You are

762
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 1: going to have to know how to pivot and switch

763
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: things around. You might go in and have your plan.

764
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: It might be perfect, and you're gonna do it just

765
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 1: like I came on here with my sol I'm gonna

766
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: go down these points one through seven in order, and

767
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: then here comes Johnny.

768
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,720
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, Like, boy, sit down.

769
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: Or you have a student who had an argument with

770
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 1: their parents and they come in and you notice they're different.

771
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 2: You have to take time with that.

772
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: Or it's picture day and now everybody's in an uproar.

773
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: You got kids coming in, especially at my high school.

774
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 1: If they come in and it's picture day, like in

775
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: the springtime, and they don't have to wear a uniform,

776
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: that's a whole other type of excitement that's entered into

777
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: the building because nobody has on a uniform.

778
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 2: You know.

779
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 1: So you have to know how to pivot, especially when

780
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 1: you have your lesson plan and it doesn't go as

781
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 1: you want it.

782
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 2: It's okay, you got the whole year. You look at

783
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 2: it as right now.

784
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: I might be playing the seed for somebody. They might

785
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: not get it this year, but next year they might four.

786
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: And it's okay. To understand those things. You got to

787
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,280
Speaker 1: learn how to be flexible and people. Let me paying

788
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 1: something right there. Plan a seed because you guys know,

789
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: I to talk about this all the time in policies

790
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: if you are in thinking that, oh, because most people say, well,

791
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: what's the point that's the number, Well, what's the point?

792
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: The nothing's going to change. Politics is not changing it is.

793
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: It's about that all the time.

794
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's about plenty a seed.

795
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: You have to be okay with knowing this seed, especially

796
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: when you talk about these elementary kids. This things may

797
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: not matriculating anything until they get into their forties.

798
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 2: That's it.

799
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 1: When you listen to people, and I just thought about

800
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: this happened as a pit pivoty as we're talking. Anytime

801
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: you hear somebody give a story about a teacher about

802
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 1: something that was influential in their life times out of

803
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: ten and I don't have the exact percentage with this,

804
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: but just lookten to most people they was always talking about,

805
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 1: like the third grade teacher are the.

806
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 2: Security There are.

807
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: Times where you may be like, oh, I had somebody

808
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:34,479
Speaker 1: in high school with da da da da.

809
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 2: But for me, like when I think about what were

810
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,320
Speaker 2: the aha moments?

811
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: Are the moments that I didn't know really meant anything,

812
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 1: like I are the teachers that really touched me special

813
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: in a way.

814
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 2: I don't think about high school first.

815
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 1: A lot of have I have a lot of great

816
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 1: high school memories and they you know, made their mark

817
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: as well. But what I think about those moments of

818
00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 1: listening to Miss Anderson read.

819
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 2: Where the Red Fern Grows, you know, I remember that storytime.

820
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: I remember I couldn't wait to get to Miss Brown's

821
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: class because she gave out tokens, you know, get those

822
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: tokens you could turn in, which we do that all

823
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 1: the time now. But I remember what it meant to

824
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 1: get those tokens to turn in and get candy at

825
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 1: the end of the week. That was a big deal

826
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: to me because I didn't have an allowance or extra

827
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: money or anything like that, and I thought Miss Brown

828
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 1: was just the nicest ever. Everybody wanted to go to

829
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: Miss Brown's class, and I just remember those tokens like

830
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:31,879
Speaker 1: as clear as I can.

831
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 2: You know, it's clear.

832
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: Like I also remember one of my harshest experiences is

833
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: when my sixth grade teacher, Miss Sparks called me a bitch.

834
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 1: That was the first time a teacher ever approached me

835
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: so and she told me you're not gonna come my

836
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,280
Speaker 1: class acting like a little bitch. And I was like, wow,

837
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 1: you know, so my points to that.

838
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 3: I don't believe it right there, but okay, I nefely

839
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 3: ended right there.

840
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 1: But you also know I got another sixth grade story

841
00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: where I said I was gonna slap shit out Miss Harris.

842
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: I was going to say that to my Sparks and

843
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: this futs just stopping him with, Oh, I didn't know

844
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: what she was talking about, Like what it was out

845
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: of nowhere? Yeah, com into my class acting like a

846
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: little bitch and I remember she was a little, little

847
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: old lady. She was like really small, like so for

848
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: you on the Golden Girls, I was just thrown back,

849
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: like what is she talking about? But Miss Harris, sixth grade, no,

850
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: that story. But I I've been waiting to push the

851
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: line on Miss Harris because I've asked being in flying

852
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: every day, every day, every day, just keep snatching, keep snatch, keeps.

853
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: And that was a day where I said today, I'm

854
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: speaking up.

855
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 2: So I just said today, Yeah, today's now.

856
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: I remember Miss Marrying's feet and the way her feet

857
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,720
Speaker 1: would smell and stink up the classroom in the seventh grade.

858
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: So these are not necessarily see she remember down the

859
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: road at the point of twelve was important and why

860
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to do this class because those really be

861
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: your age defining moments.

862
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the foundation. Yeah foundation. Yeah you remember those things.

863
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't remember nobody fast thinking, no good.

864
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 1: I remember grass, variags people something else in the fifth grade.

865
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 2: I remember. So it's just things like that, you know

866
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 2: that I would have sown.

867
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: A teacher needs to keep to try to stay motivated

868
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 1: because when you're in it in the moment, you a

869
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 1: lot of first your teachers don't come back. A lot

870
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: of them don't survive it in years, and a lot

871
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: of that because they're not looking at it as the

872
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: seed that may.

873
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 2: You may not ever know how that student did. Yeah,

874
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 2: and I never know. I forgot it went viral not

875
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 2: too long ago.

876
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 1: I know Boosie got a chance to meet up with

877
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: his elementary teacher and was crying and all that. But

878
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: there was one viral moment. I'm shut up, but I

879
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: just remember the teacher they came. I think he was

880
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,320
Speaker 1: in the hospital or something. In his fifth grade teacher

881
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: came or something. It was a real viral moment. You've

882
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: probably seen a lot of these Instagram pointy is. He

883
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: was crying and was really like, man, I just wish

884
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 1: she knew how much she believed in me. I think

885
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 1: Busie did it. Not too long ago. I had that

886
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: one teacher that just really believed.

887
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,919
Speaker 2: In me, that made me, that made this and made

888
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 2: me that know.

889
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: And you may not ever hear that until they get

890
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: into their big age of fifty, or.

891
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 2: You may not hear it at allste that has a

892
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:08,839
