On this episode Mike and Josh dive into the topic of Professional Development and discuss how it should be just like a punk show! Everyone should have the opportunity to get involved, have their voice heard, be a part of the action, and have some decisions about what they doing.

On this episode Mike and Josh discuss why it's important to hold onto your convictions, your passions, and your values in all that you do.

After a month of collaborations and reflections, the boys are back with a full length episode! Josh and Mike sit down to talk about being back in school.

As educators we do not have to be the sole provider of information and knowledge in our classrooms. We can put out that "split album" with a teacher in another content area…

Punk shows were a place where everyone was involved! So not only should our classrooms be like punk show but so should our whole school!

Putting on a show takes a group of punks working together from handing out flyers, to booking bands, to playing on stage! Doing our best for students means working together with our crew.

Punk is not dead, it just evolved. Whether its Minor Threat to Fugazi or Black Flag to The Rollins band, punks stretched out, tried things differently, kept changing, and kept growing. As educators we have to be willing to do the same thing.

What's more punk rock than bucking the system, fighting the man, and tearing down some walls? That courage to stand up, speak out, and change the system that can be found in punk rock should be found in education too!

The punk rock scene was a place where anyone could belong. It was a place where people came together and built their scene, their community, and their music. Our classrooms should be a place for ALL students.

Recording week fell on Thanksgiving break for Mike and Josh so they decided to do something a little different.

There is a tradition in the punk and hardcore scene of passing the mic and of the sing along power of gang vocals. Bands would point the mic out to the crowd and let them sing the songs and let them lead the show. So what does that look like in our classrooms and in education?
