Today we are wrapping up our conversation with Josh Wilson. In this episode, he explains his dissertation research about Experienced New Teachers, who are they, and what do they need? At a time when teacher retention is of vital importance, Josh’s work is timely and vital.
Supporting new teachers has always been a priority for schools and school systems, especially as we know that two-thirds of new teachers leave the profession within the first five years of their career. Josh’s focus on experienced folks who are in a new environment is worth engaging with if we want to address the needs of some of our veterans in the profession too. This is something that the Edjacent collaborative are concerned about, and I’m pleased to say that Josh is going to be working with us on just this issue in the future. I’m looking forward to hearing more about his work in the future.

Episode 36 - Being a reluctant educator with Josh Wilson

This podcast is available in iTunes, Google, Spotify, and many other pod catchers. Subscribe with this URL: https://feed.podbean.com/teatimeteaching/feed.xml 
Dr. Josh Wilson is a high school social studies teacher, a recent PhD graduate, and, like me, a reluctant entrant into the teaching profession. His story is well worth a listen.
Well, we are back for the new year.  The plan is to continue to share in-depth teacher stories. Continue to position our understanding of where we are in a historical context, and in between maybe have some fun. The plan is to release episodes every couple of weeks until the summer break, then resume in the fall.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve found that since the beginning of the pandemic, my tolerance for long podcasts has waned. I have a decreasing bandwidth for lengthy podcasts, and as a result, I’ve been trying to make each of ours shorter. So, my commitment to you, dear listener, is to make sure that my content does not go beyond 30 minutes. Now I can’t account for commercials and the stuff that our hosts and providers share, but I can at least do that for you.

In today’s episode, we share another part of my conversation with Edjacent designer Jared Fritzinger. Last time we talked about his student’s capstone project and how they conceptualized, then refitted and ecobus to help teach other schools about sustainability. If you haven’t’ listened to episode 31 yet, I suggest that you do. It’s a fascinating conversation.
Today, though, we talk about how the ecobus project developed through the pandemic and how that and other capstone projects align to the true purpose of education. We also touch upon how the act of breaking boundaries is a key part of the good work that educators should do.

In today’s episode we speak to Edjacent designer Jared Fritzinger. Jared was on our pub talk episode (way back in episode 14) so you’ve met him before. I suppose this now makes him a “Friend of the pod” as they say in the podcasting world. Whenever I get a chance to talk with Jared, we always talk for hours about so many things. In our conversation shared over the next few episodes we talk about capstone projects, sustainability, using cooking oil as fuel, punk rock, independent record labels, and why educators should be treated as artists. But for today’s episode we get to know Jared a little better as he shares his teacher story and introduces us to the eighth-grade capstone experience.
