PHILOCTETES with Katrina Castro! - Learnt

What this episode covers

On this monumental fifth episode of Learnt, I sat down in the dining room with Ms. Katrina Castro of Baltimore City Public Schools! We discuss her history of being an adjunct professor at Towson University (our shared alma mater), methods of engaging students, and how to dispel your own misconceptions about a job! We also chat about the Baltimore Sun story "Maryland school board approves discipline guidelines." We go over the enormous change in store for first year teachers, just how supportive your administration can be when you need them, and of course, Mr. George Feeney and the newly-certified Mr. Cory Matthews.

Loving Life with Court Courtney "How to heal ourselves?" A question that has left me stumped and made me realize there is not one specific way to answer it. Our paths are all quite different. But at the same time, everyone has the same end goal, to be at peace. Maybe that means to not be triggered by the things we cannot control. It could also mean to accept, to be compassionate with yourself, or to feel a little bit lighter.Now there may not be one specific answer but what I have learnt is that growing, accepting, challenging, understanding, aligning and HEALING become a tad more attainable when we lead with LOVE.

The Fearless Flyer Your Hosts Grant, Al & James Our podcast is for people who have a fear of flying or, an anxiety associated with being in an aircraft. In our first series (S1), we will take you from the basics about how an aircraft works with an insight as to what is happening and why during a flight, to the stuff you don't see behind the scenes. The aim is to remove the myth of flying and arm you with the knowledge to make you into a Fearless Flyer. We then run a mini-series S2, the first episode is "Going on a Flight," explaining the preparation you should consider before a flight and, talking you through the process and the noises etc you will hear on an actual flight. We will then use the S2 series as an opportunity to update you on what we feel are important events in the industry. We then move onto series 3 (S3), an on-going series discussing historical aviation events, what we learnt from these events and how these lessons were implemented into the aviation industry in order prevent them happening again.
