Hello everyone! Many dedicated professionals ignore their mental health. They put it off, hide their struggles, and often suffer in silence. Todd Nesloney not only understands this, but has lived through it and came out on the other side.
In this episode, we touch on:
- His new book, In This Season
- The importance of mental health
- The value of community
…and much more!
Todd Nesloney is the Director of Culture and Strategic Leadership for the Texas Elementary Principals and Supervisors Association (TEPSA). We previously spoke to Nesloney about the power of community and literacy, and we are happy for his return for this discussion.
Enjoy!
This episode is sponsored by Heinemann—the leading publisher of professional books and resources for educators—and their new book, Whispering in the Wind: A Guide to Deeper Reading and Writing Through Poetry, by Linda Rief.
Do your students cringe when you teach a poetry unit? Do you? Whispering in the Wind is Linda Rief’s latest book and it’s a
cure for poetry agony.
This book shows you how to launch a simple, self-directed student poetry project that will help your students read more
poetry, respond to it authentically, and maybe even discover that they actually enjoy it.
Focusing on poetry really can make your students stronger readers and stronger writers.
And you’ll finally have a plan for teaching poetry that you’ll love too.
