61 Middle Ground

AMDG. There’s a lot going on in a person’s middle school years, and it takes a special teacher (or several) to inspire and guide this formative period. Kolbe middle school teachers Amanda Hayes and Alexandra Pischke are two of those experts, and they join Bonnie today to share their insights. Together, they discuss the developmental stages of middle school, the combination of childhood silliness and maturing purpose they see in their students, and how they try to model good study and organizational habits for sixth through eighth graders to use at home and online.   Episodes and other links that might be helpful   Kolbecast Ep 33: Show Your Work with Math Department Chair Mrs. Kelly Powers Ep 58: Mystery Machines (technology & tech support) Kuta math software and worksheets  Ep 21: To Live Fully Alive with Mrs. Elizabeth Hoxie For effortless episode delivery, subscribe to the Kolbecast in your favorite podcast player.    Have a suggestion or question for the Kolbecast team?
