  Last June Allison and I tried to get something on tape, but tech issues crashed our party … funny thing, we ended up chatting for over 30 minutes through sketchy wifi on a bunch of topics, some of which popped back up in this episode. I love that we are returning to the table like no momentum was lost. Solid remained solid regardless of the time between.  In this epi we re-wander through teacher joy, getting global in the local, and supporting teacher candidates. This conversation was definitely worth it's 'wait'. Allison can be found @allison_fuisz on Twitter. She is also The Enthusiastic Learner on WordPress.

• Brad Shreffler – How to Talk about Guns and School. e53 March 20, 2018 12:34 pm
  When I started this podcast a year ago I had little idea about the what, the how, or even my why in chasing conversations. I quickly cobbled together a list of questions that I thought an EDU podcaster would ask. And even as I struggled through my first episode with Jen Giffen @virtualgiff I realized that I would have to be more open. Open in my question frame, open in my mindset, and open to where the story takes me. As soon as I released a little grip on the wheel, the stories emerged and took over. In this episode I go where a story pulled me. The horrific events of February 14th, 2018 that occurred at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland Florida electrified me. I found my social and news feeds overflowing with content that enraged and confused me. And even though I wanted to talk with someone closer to the context I waited. I researched. I measured. I reflected and then I reached out to Brad Sheffler an educator and podcaster based out of Orlando. This episode focusses in on how to talk about guns and schools. And honestly, I had no idea about how to do this. My questions felt awkard, my sense of clarity was fuzzy, and throughout the entire conversation I struggled with measuring my respect for the topic. Yet, I also wondered if this is what it feels like to unbox a truely pivotal topic. I am incredibly grateful to Brad for his honest and open support of my learning.

• Kelly Mackay & Andrea Kerr – The Waiting, the Risk, and the Trust e52 February 19, 2018 8:46 pm
    I highly reccommend that you check out The Beast blog on Wordpress at the same time as you listen to this podcast. Kelly and Andrea's pieces set up a scale to our conversation that cracks open many of the silos that are so easy to lock ourselves into. And at the same time, they offer their vulnerability as a vehicle to go deeper, ask another question, and keep seeking. At every turn in our conversation I was reminded of the necessesities in education – the power to share, the grace of collegial conversation, the getting comfortable with being uncomfortable, and the appreciation that comes from giving from our whole self. So FYI, take a pause or two to dig into the backstory of @thebeastedu and enjoy the podcast.

• German Villegas / Modern Manhood Podcast e51 February 11, 2018 2:10 pm
  I have been thinking a lot about the EDU bubble. Not just the challenges that are created by it or the frustrations that arise from it, but also the composition of it. Honestly, it is way too easy to call out the competitive agendas that exist inside and outside the bubble…but what of the actual bubble? What is it really made of? Its not surprising to me that I have started to look at the stories that emerge from the surface tension on the bubble. The spirit of Chasing Squirrels has always pursued the curious stories  about the relationship between educator and system – more and more the convos have started to include the challenges of creating EDU spaces with the community included as a fully participating role. And I have begun to appreciate the little bits of source code that are being written and rewritten there. The colocation of essential services that could support learning is one sample of the new thinking that is popping in the dialogue between systems. German Villegas is the human behind the ModernManhood Podcast and he exists directly in that space 'between'. He spends his time working with youth and males in a human service capacity and supports conversations with men about their masculinity and what it means to be a modern man. I knew that this convo would tie in with the action on the bubble and would definitely illuminate some of the necessary work that needs to be done with many of the modern learners that I interact with on the daily. Please check it out.

• Emily Fitzpatrick – Future Job with Moonshot Thinking e49 January 25, 2018 6:13 pm
    At least once a week I find a post in my social that focusses on tracking future jobs. Often it is couched in a convo about our students aiming for a job force that has not even been dreamed of yet. And that future is seeded by helping students embrace the Edtech tools that accelerate their learning and activate their 'moonshot' thinking. I think Emily Fitzgerald has one of those future jobs. Emily is the Director of Professional Development with  #EdTechTeam and in the sweet spot of helping learners meet the future with tech training opportunities for teachers.

• Reunion with Elif Kaynak, Diana Danciu, and Sarah Lalonde e48 January 22, 2018 7:01 am
  Welcome to the podcast's 1st year anniversary episode … or just call it the 'really, really' episode. Either way, sitting down with with these three guests again, one year later[ish], and reconnecting the dots from our first convo was awesome. When we last met Elif, Diana, and Sarah, each of them was working their way through the teacher candidate maze of experiences. Now, all three are walking more of the talk and seeing EDU with a 'more teacher, less candidate' POV.  In the podcast we wrestled with questions like: What are the hard convos you would like to be a part of? What are you becoming, besides a content specialist? How do assumptions make simple things become complex? Do you learn best in calm or storm? AND what do you feel is baked into EDU? I am proud to be a part of their process and wish them the best of luck for their career in education.

  We kind of picked up from where we left off … but like all great conversations sometimes where you start, inevitably goes to places unforeseen and where you end, doesn't matter so much. I knew this time around even if I didn't get to my list of questions, I did want to talk a little bit more ebout EdTech conferences, learning from failure, and the new podcast project that Jen and her daughter had just started. Most of those bits do come out in the conversation, but I got to tell you, there's still quite a few more topics that I'm looking forward to hashing out with her the next time we meet.

• Jennifer Orr – Always a Teacher, Purpose, and Alliances e40 October 10, 2017 12:59 pm
  I started only reading my Twitter feed in the very early morning hours, as I take my dog for a walk. At that time of day even the internet is fairly calm and peaceful. It feels like in the predawn hours I can actually focus on the feed and even find amazing content. Funnily, my dog will lay down and go back to sleep if I stall to long over an engaging post. And it was in this moment that I came across a blog that caught my eye. It grabbed me because of the title and I stayed for the entire whole hearted narrative. Jen has been blogging since the early 2005 and througout her writings the themes of change, student advocacy, and equity come through loud and clear. Her tweet rattled me because of its raw questioning of 'Am I in a rut?' A truth in education is that the life of teacher can be long and satisfying, but what happens to a person when change simulatneously becomes necessary and hard to envisage. Please check out Jen's blog at http://jenorr.com/ for this post and many other great reads.

• Michelle Cassidy – Mental Health, Accessible Mindfulness, and true Modern Learning e38 September 22, 2017 6:07 am
  I've been thinking about the times in my EDU career when I was witness to a kind of deeper truth or source code. The moments tend to be fleeting and sometimes I missed large parts because my mind was launchd into in a different place than my ears. But, when I held the moment and flowed with the conversation I walked away feeling the satisfaction of truely learning a lesson.  My talk with Michelle, a clinician leading a Mental Health strategy for a large school board, was one of the moments where I think I got a peak behind the curtain and started to understand the inner workings of education. And a truth that emerged was that we just might be coming to place where curriculum, classroom, and mental health are seen as equal and connected components of a larger, life continuum.

• Jen Apgar – Getting Reflective, Why Podcast?, and Productive Struggle e37 September 15, 2017 1:18 pm
  I got a process for approaching a podcast. I usually lurk the blogosphere and twitter profiles once I find a person who piques my interest. After that my mind races, I shape questions, and then connect with the potential guest. Remarkably, cold calls and boundless curiosity have brought phenomenal people into my little EDUniverse. The plan for talking with Jen was broad and there were a few checkpoints that I thought we could pass through. As it happens when you meet a kindred thinker, single topics are enough. Jen and I got into the complexities of teacher reflective practice and never completely got out…and I loved it.

• Tanya Murray – Playing and Learning Outdoors e35 August 22, 2017 7:51 am
  I have tried in the past to get my classrooms outside. Sometimes it works others not so much. I can't say for sure what anchors a learner to one ideal space for learning, but I can definitely say that I crave to read and write while sitting under a tree moreso than in a desk under fluorescent light. Search out the key term 'classroom' online and you are pretty much guaranteed to find standard stuff. Chairs, tables, and a whole lot of indoor spaces fill the top hits. Tanya is an educator that is bringing a different pov to learning design and learning spaces. Part of her new position with her school board is just that – making the outdoors accessible to all learners. And in the short convo we had, I definitely broadened my understanding of what's possible while playing and learning outside.

• Derrick Schellenberg – 1:1 Classrooms, Authentic Tasks, and The Shifting Core e31 July 20, 2017 6:35 am
  Initally, when I found out that a 1:1 school existed in my board, I was jealous. I wanted a laptop too. I wanted my students to have laptops. Everything would be more awesome if my school became that school. If only my longview had been informed with more savvy, I am sure I could have found ways to build capacity towards Modern Learning thinking instead of bemoaning an EDU shift that I did not fully understand or appreciate. Derrick made it clear that the tech is not necessarily a guarantor for robust learning experiences. The deeper truth that emerges is that when starting a 1:1 program there also has to be a focus on 1:1 culture shift. He has spent several years working through the details of growth within his tech accelerated context and now after a few starts and stops, shows what teachers and students can do when culture and tech approach harmony.

• Arthur Chiaravalli – Grading Less, School as OS , and the Value of Lived Experience e30 July 13, 2017 11:23 am
  I reallly appreciate the balance that Arthur brought to our topic of teachers going gradeless. In many ways, I intuit, that any classroom that espouses an uber feedback model before numerical, is logistically complex. The tensions to provide an absolute check box come from many constituents. And often, the gains of marks based assessments are frought with equity and cultural problems. In my personal pursuit of implementing a shift from numerical dependency I can see how the conversation is much broader and deeper than just not providing a mark for every assessment. This September, as I wrestle through my own learning in this experience, I will be glad to reach out to Arthur and the TG2 Facebook page for support.

He is rockin' authentic learning experiences that are cleverly accelerated with digitools.

  I got a bit ramped up for this convo and I totally forgot to greet Theresa at the beginning of the podcast. Sorry Theresa … but it's easy to get happy hanging with her. The joy she shares from her stories and experiences in education are what connected me to her in the first place, way back in the day when I was a part of our school board new teacher training. Then, like now, I felt her passion for teaching, learning, and student wellness in every part of our conversation.

• Jonathan So – Fatherhood, the Teacher/Parent, and Feedback e25 June 1, 2017 6:45 pm
  It took a bit longer than usual to push this episode out – life can be like that. My family is pretty busy and in the end, I gotta follow their lead … and it seems like the same deal for Jonathan So. He, like me, is trying to rock the intersection of Fatherhood and Educator. And along the way, we have found that the lessons our own children teach us can sometimes prove to be the most valuable professional development in town.

  Will is a part of my mentor list for several reasons. His open and genuine care of the learning communities around him is clear and consistent. And his drive to connect with learners outside of his classroom is evident in his blog writing and association with TED-Ed  Mostly, though, Will has been instrumental in building my confidence to edu-connect beyond the four walls of my classroom and in many ways this podcast would have been further from existence had I not met him.

First, is her belief that success at school is about more than reading and writing well. Second, that teacher perfection is a myth and that teachers do not know everything. Armed with these two deep truths  I am sure that she will find herself on the cusp of creating many amazing changes in education.

• Royan Lee – Socially Responsive Media, Differences that Connect, and After TEDx e5 January 30, 2017 12:30 pm
  Royan's expressive nature brings out the joy in our conversation. Throughout the convo his words leapt to life and held emphasis in the air as he used his hands to finesse his thoughts. His thoughts of being on the other end of his social media posts got me to thinking about all educators responsibility in what and how we #postpositive. It was his genuine concern for the viewer that bolstered my belief that educators need to exist on both sides of the screen as teachers and learners so that we can truly glean all the coolness that social media can bring to our lives.

• Andy McClure – Elders, Honesty, Broken Cameras, and Risk e4 January 14, 2017 11:37 am
  Andy is a soulful educator. He is connected to education in the more radical sense, less about edtech, more about the heart and mind. Every moment that I spend with Andy is precious. He has been a part of my apprenticeship into the into the art of education since I began teaching back in 2005. In our conversation, he shared that it is okay to take risks on ideas and patterns that feel way over our heads. And that risk is the necessary first step in noticing the relational touch points of deep learning. In these moments he believes that the heart opens and we get a quick glimpse of the bigger picture of the elements that our edu-seeking spirits crave – relationships, play, and creativity.  Please connect with Andy via email @burningstonestudio@earthlink.net Chasing Squirrels is on iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/chasing-squirrels/id1191208370?mt=2  You can find me on Twitter @chrisjcluff and Wordpress at https://chrisjcluff.com/ If you would like to chat on the podcast, let me know.
