Welcome to another episode of the Education Enclave podcast.

This episode is a discussion of chapter 3 of Debbie Miller’s book, What’s the Best That Could Happen? New Possibilities for Teachers & Readers.

While you can listen to this episode as a stand alone, the best experience will be if you’ve read the first three chapters, as well as listened to the earlier episodes where we discuss chapters 1 and 2.

The talented group that joined me in this episode are the following educators:

Dearnne Backhouse
Erin Beissel
Claye Runnals
Flick Curnow
Dee McNamee
Cassie Ryan
Elena Ziebell

At the start of the podcast I ask you to see if you can match each educator with the book week character they dressed up as.

There was Thelma the Unicorn, Queen of Hearts, Dorothy & Toto, Bad Guys, Fly Guys (x 2), and Trunchbull. If you think you can match them up, let me know.

Unsuprisingly, the title of the chapter gives away the main topics we discussed. The power of routines, our use of language, and agency once again.

I hope you enjoy it 😊
