John hijacks the conversation to discuss the concerns he has regarding co-curricular conflicts and performances, and finding solutions.

We discuss our communications with parents and our differingresponsibilities for our Back to School Nights.

We discuss new program items we're taking on this year and how that affects our teaching.

We talk about our first days back, how they're different from years past and what we're focused on this year right out of the gate.

For our first episode back after summer (not all of us were teaching yet), we brought in a friend wo's been teaching a bit longer, but has recently completed a masters degree over summers and is still taking opportunities regularly every summer to grow.
