On the DissectEd podcast, we discuss various topics in education and drill down, or dissect them, so that the audience can have a better understanding of the topic/issue. Each week, we will talk with expert teachers, administrators and students to get their take on what's important and what's needed currently and looking ahead in the field of education. Whether you're an educator, leader or someone simply interested in education, this podcast is for you!
Why it's important to follow the path meant for you instead of the path others expect you to follow
I just took a new position as Assistant Principal at Central High School in Providence, RI. You might be wondering, "But Michaela, I thought you were teaching? Wait, weren't you a principal at one point? Don't you run your own business now? I can't keep up!"
Two positions have made my heart happiest over the last 20 years, teaching special education and being an assistant principal. Of course, I love running my company, because I get to help teachers and leaders transform their experiences, but my experience inside the classroom and as AP have allowed me to be close enough to the work to be a great coach, too.
My path here certainly has not been linear, and there has been a lot of pain, but I can say with 100% certainty that I've followed, and sometimes carved, the path meant for ME. And that is freeing.

Season 4 Ep 4: How Feeling Connected to Your Students Makes Teaching Joyful with Vanessa Drew
If connecting with students comes easily to you, you probably understand how those connections can be what gets you through stressful days and how fun teaching can be. If connecting and building relationships with students is challenging for you, I encourage you to listen to what Vanessa Drew says about how she relates to her students and how those connections have impacted her as a teacher.
Vanessa has spent the last 16 years high school French and Indigenous Studies teacher in British Columbia, Canada.
She has recently launched a website, ouifrenchteachers, (we french teachers) designed to help French and language teachers connect so they can support one another, build and find resources they can share, develop diversified lessons, and to keep current with today’s research in their field. Her particular interest is going beyond grammar and vocabulary by integrating culture into the language classroom. There is a shortage of French teachers in Canada, especially in English majority Canada, and so supporting language teachers is a priority for her. She has also recently started a group for French language teachers of independent schools in British Columbia.
