In this episode of The Wired Educator Podcast, I interview Traci Browder. Traci is an amazing educator that can help all of us make the greatest impact on students’ lives through the challenges of teaching in a pandemic. She is an expert in remote instruction, creating and curating incredibly helpful content for teachers in this time of need. She was named teacher of the year her first year teaching, and once again in another district. She hosts the amazing Intelligogy Podcast.

This School Rubric webinar, “Building a Learning Guide for Parents that Works,” reveals Traci’s heart work in building a learning guide that fosters a collaborative partnership with parents in the education of their children during virtual learning. She created two versions of her learning guide…one that is very comprehensive in scripting and support, and one that is more streamlined.  The learning guide also includes activities from other teachers on her team as content contributors.

Traci created Operation Teacher Relief in the midst of Hurricane Harvey as a resource for families to have a sense of normalcy while rebuilding their lives. She calls it a digital storehouse for teaching and learning. Content is organized by grade and subject.  Traci’s efforts and passion for Operation Teacher Relief caught the eye of a Castleview,  a premier video production company, while they were developing a documentary called, “Texans Giving Back.” See the beautiful story here.
