| 9/1/26 | Episode 446: Word Study Across the Grades (5th Grade Foundations + Scaling in 6th–8th) | In Part 2 of this behind-the-scenes conversation, we sit down with EB Academics curriculum writer Pat to break down what effective word study looks like from 5th through 8th grade and how to build a system that becomes more rigorous each year without becoming overwhelming. We dive into why 5th grade begins with syllables, sounds, and decoding before introducing vocabulary, how spelling rules are intentionally concentrated in 5th grade, and what to do when older students still need foundationa... | 21m 23s | ||||||
| 8/31/26 | Episode 445: Monday Mindset: Let Go of Expectations | That sinking feeling when something doesn’t work out the way you pictured it can hit hard, especially in teaching. You plan the lesson, you see it in your head, you walk in ready, and then the room goes quiet in the worst way. Today we’re sharing a Monday Mindset that starts with a personal story of unmet expectations and turns it into a practical tool you can use all year long in your middle school ELA classroom. If this resonates, subscribe for more mindset and planning support, share this... | 8m 01s | ||||||
| 8/25/26 | Episode 444: The Truth About Word Study: Behind the Scenes with Our Curriculum Writer | Memorising vocabulary lists can look like “rigor,” but we’ve all watched it evaporate the moment the quiz ends. We want word learning that transfers into real reading and real writing, so we brought back our curriculum writer and word study specialist Pat to walk through what actually makes vocabulary instruction stick for middle school ELA students. We dig into the heart of word study: teaching word parts (Latin and Greek roots, prefixes, suffixes, and Old English patterns) so students buil... | 28m 21s | ||||||
| 8/24/26 | Episode 443: Monday Mindset: The Good Stuff! | Another Monday Mindset today! We talk about a small but powerful gratitude practice that fits into real teacher life, plus the positive psychology research that explains why it works. A statistic shared from Happify highlights how a one-time act of thoughtful gratitude can create an immediate 10% increase in happiness and a 35% reduction in depressive symptoms, while also reminding us that the benefit fades unless we repeat the habit. That detail matters because it reframes gratitude as ... | 4m 04s | ||||||
| 8/18/26 | Episode 442: How to Weave EB Materials into Your District-Mandated Curriculum | In today's Teaching Middle School ELA Podcast episode, We start with Genevieve’s non-negotiable: teach a writing and thinking framework first. When students learn how to make a claim, back it with evidence, and justify their reasoning, they stop starting from scratch in every unit. That same structure carries into discussions, constructed responses, and essays, whether the text comes from your district textbook or supplemental resources. We also talk about why “teach the standard” beats “fini... | 37m 35s | ||||||
| 8/17/26 | Episode 441: Monday Mindset: Change Starts from Within | Another inspiring Monday Mindset eipisode, We walk into a new school year with fresh notebooks, a new seating chart, and a quiet hope that this year will finally feel lighter, only to realize a few weeks later that the stress feels familiar. If you’re a middle school ELA teacher who’s tired of waiting for the roster, admin support, or the schedule to magically fix everything, this Monday Mindset is a necessary reframe. We talk through a simple idea that can genuinely change your day to... | 6m 35s | ||||||
| 8/11/26 | Episode 440: Breakthroughs in Grammar Instruction: The 3 Must-Have Elements (Part 2) | In today's Teaching Middle School ELA podcast episode, Grammar shouldn’t live on a worksheet and die on a quiz. We want middle school writers who can actually use conventions, sentence structure, and punctuation to communicate clearly, with purpose, and for a real audience. That’s what drives this part two breakdown of our grammar mini-series: practical, classroom-ready moves that make grammar transfer into student writing. If you’re ready for grammar instruction that shows up in draft... | 22m 28s | ||||||
| 8/10/26 | Episode 439: Monday Mindset: You Are Valuable | We start August with a Monday Mindset that pulls the focus back where it belongs, on you as a human being with limited energy. We walk through a simple but uncomfortable question: who got the best of you last year, and who got the scraps? From there, we reframe energy as a finite resource and talk about why “self care” is not the point. The point is protecting what refills you, so you can be more patient, more creative, and more present in the classroom and at home. You will leave with a cle... | 8m 12s | ||||||
| 8/4/26 | Episode 438: Breakthroughs in Grammar Instruction: The 3 Must-Have Elements (Part 1) | In today's Teaching Middle School ELA Podcast episode, we're tackling one of the most common classroom frustrations: teaching grammar in a way that actually sticks. We discuss why students often forget grammar rules when it comes time to write and share a simple three-part framework that helps them understand, practice, and apply grammar with confidence. If you're looking for a more effective approach to grammar instruction this school year, this episode is for you. Want to learn more a... | 18m 02s | ||||||
| 7/28/26 | Episode 437: Why Your Bell Ringers Aren't Working (And What to Do Instead) | In today's Teaching Middle School ELA Podcast episode, we're talking all about bell ringers—and why so many of them end up feeling like busy work instead of meaningful learning. Curriculum writer Pat shares a simple weekly framework that helps students build reading, writing, grammar, and vocabulary skills in just the first few minutes of class. You'll also learn how to plan purposeful bell ringers, avoid grading overload, and create routines that actually stick. If you're ready to make... | 27m 26s | ||||||

| 7/27/26 | Episode 436: Monday Mindset: It's All About Your Mood | What if the only thing standing between you and a productive week is waiting until you "feel like it"? This Monday Mindset episode is a reminder that your mood doesn't get to dictate your movement. We talk about why motivation is unreliable, how action creates momentum, and share a simple challenge to help you stop procrastinating and start making progress—just five minutes at a time. Here's to a week of living intentionally. | 6m 11s | ||||||
| 7/23/26 | Episode 435: Get Your Students to Rock their Text-Dependent Paragraphs with this Strategy | In today's Teaching Middle School ELA Podcast episode, we're talking about one of the biggest challenges in teaching literary analysis: helping students write strong evidence-based responses before they tackle a full essay. You'll learn how a simple mini Response to Literature routine can strengthen students' claims, evidence, and justification throughout an entire novel unit—making the final essay feel much more manageable. If you're looking for a practical way to improve both reading compre... | 15m 42s | ||||||
| 7/21/26 | Episode 434: Increase Students Writing Scores in 30 Minutes or Less | In today's Teaching Middle School ELA Podcast episode, we're diving into one of the biggest challenges middle school ELA teachers face: finding enough time to teach writing without spending hours grading. We'll explore why these two struggles are actually connected and share two practical strategies to help students become stronger writers while making your writing instruction more consistent, efficient, and easier to manage. If you're ready to spend less time reteaching and more time seeing ... | 14m 28s | ||||||
| 7/20/26 | Episode 433: Monday Mindset: Go to a Dark Room | Your life gets loud fast: notifications, inbox urgency, endless content, and the constant pressure to keep up. Then a real moment hits and suddenly the only questions that matter rise to the surface: What am I doing with my life? What do I actually want? Am I living the way I want to be living? Today’s Monday Mindset is a quiet, honest pause for middle school ELA teachers who feel pulled in every direction and want their time and attention back. Here's to another week of living intentionally... | 9m 20s | ||||||
| 7/16/26 | Episode 432: Are You Making This Mistake with Your Student Writing Samples? | In today's Teaching Middle School ELA podcast episode, Your next writing unit might not be “too hard” or “too time-consuming” at all. The real problem could be the way we use model essays and the way we test our writing prompts before students ever touch the page. We start with a candid question many middle school ELA teachers are afraid to answer: do you dread teaching writing? If you’ve ever felt your stomach drop when a writing unit shows up in the plan book, you’re not alone. Between 47-... | 13m 03s | ||||||
| 7/14/26 | Episode 431: Get Your Students Actually Enjoying Writing with this FUN Activity | Another Teaching Middle School ELA Podcast episode, Most students can pull a quote. The hard part is explaining why that quote proves anything. We’re tackling the #1 skill gap middle school ELA teachers keep naming again and again: justification (also known as analysis or explanation) and we’re doing it with one of my favorite high-energy writing activities.

| 7/13/26 | Episode 430: Monday Mindset: Forget What You Think You Need | Another Monday Mindset, The fastest way to feel stuck as a middle school ELA teacher is to believe your peace depends on someone else doing their job differently. If admin were more supportive, if class sizes were smaller, if the district stopped changing everything, then you’d finally feel steady. I get it, and I’ve lived it, but that belief quietly gives away your power. If this lands, subscribe so you don’t miss future Monday Mindset resets, share it with a teacher friend, and leave a qui... | 11m 02s | ||||||
| 7/9/26 | Episode 429: Is the Reason Your Students Struggle With Writing Simpler Than You Think? | In today's Teaching Middle School ELA Podcast episode, watching a class freeze at a blank page is one of the fastest ways to lose your confidence as a writing teacher and it’s also one of the most preventable. I’m breaking down the evidence-based writing approach (EBW) and why it works as a thinking framework, not just an essay format, so you can stop reteaching the same skills from scratch every time you assign a response. If you want to go deeper, I’m hosting a free live writing work... | 22m 57s | ||||||
| 7/7/26 | Episode 428: Re-Air: The Best of Writing Episodes: It's Time to Drop the RACE Strategy. | The RACE writing formula simply stands for “restate, answer, cite, and explain”. This is widely used by middle school ELA teachers teaching writing as it makes a great tool to help learners construct their answers in a clear, logical format. However, this formula proves to be challenging when students need to move into essay writing. If you’re one of the middle school ELA teachers who’s seeking help with teaching writing, but are required to use the RACE writing formula or a mashed up version... | 14m 17s | ||||||
| 7/6/26 | Episode 427: Monday Mindset: Stay Brave | The moment you want to quit is often the moment you are about to grow. I’m sharing a simple phrase that has been sticking with me lately: stay brave. Not “be brave someday” or “become brave when things calm down” but stay brave right now, especially when you feel pulled back toward the familiar way of doing things because it feels safer. You’ll also hear a practical way to handle rough days when a lesson bombs and students are checked out. Instead of spiralling, we try a “so what?” reframe ... | 8m 55s | ||||||
| 7/1/26 | Episode 426: If Your Students Only Write One Essay This Year, THIS is the One! | In today's Teaching Middle School ELA podcast episode, Caitlin shares why evidence-based writing is the one writing genre every middle school ELA teacher should prioritize. Discover how focusing on literary analysis can build confident writers, strengthen critical thinking, and create transferable skills that benefit students across every subject—all while making writing instruction simpler and more effective.

| 6/30/26 | Episode 425: Monday Mindset: The Two Words That Will Save Your Energy This Year | That moment when you open a brutal parent email before sunrise, or realise your admin still doesn’t see how hard you’re working, can hijack your whole day. We’re sharing a simple mindset that cuts through the noise: “Let them.” Two words, but they can change how you carry the job. We talk through the “Let Them” theory (popularised by Mel Robbins) and why so much teacher burnout comes from the mental, emotional, and energetic load of fighting what we can’t control. If you want a practical te... | 15m 27s | ||||||
| 6/25/26 | Episode 424: How to Cut Your Planning Time in Half Without Cutting Corners | In today's Teaching Middle School ELA podcast episode. I walked through four concrete ways to cut your lesson planning time in half without cutting corners. First, I talked about building a truly distraction-free planning block so you can get back into deep focus and actually finish. Then I used Parkinson’s law to your advantage by setting a timer you honor for planning and grading, including a realistic approach to essay feedback that prioritizes targeted comments over marking every mistake.... | 16m 51s | ||||||
| 6/23/26 | Episode 423: Two Things to Do This Summer That Will Change Your Entire School Year | In today's Teaching Middle School ELA Podcast episode, I tackled the three beliefs that keep middle school ELA teachers stuck: the idea that you cannot plan until you know your students, the fear that batch planning takes too much time up front, and the frustration that schedules always change anyway. You will hear why planning foundations early makes differentiation easier, why one focused planning stretch beats constant week to week planning, and how floating days keep your scope and sequen... | 20m 16s | ||||||
| 6/22/26 | Episode 422: Monday Mindset: Get Used to Being Uncomfortable | Our Monday Mindset Episode for today is about Discomfort is not your enemy, it’s your evidence. We open with a raw teaching memory: a first day in front of students, every word scripted, terrified of getting it wrong and being exposed. If you’ve ever tried a new lesson, a new routine, or a new approach and immediately thought, “That was messy, so I should never do it again,” you’ll feel seen here. We dig into why our brains chase certainty, how perfectionism sneaks into classroom decisions, a... | 12m 45s | ||||||
