It’s almost time to go back to school, and our gift to you is the inspirational Georgia Teacher of the Year, Emily Jennette. A self-described “Energizer Bunny,” Emily is dedicated to teaching the whole child. You’ve got to hear her story about how she involved a local business to help a class of struggling elementary school students. Emily found ways to inspire them to a new outlook on school, and she’ll do the same for you, just in time for the new school year to begin!

If you thought last week's discussion on parent phone calls ended abruptly, you weren't imagining things. We got a bit long-winded and decided to split the conversation into two parts. This episode features the conclusion of our discussion. What sorts of things should you consider before you make a call home? How is a parent phone conference like a warranty claim on a faulty T.V.? These and other questions are asked and answered. Listener email comes from a new teacher whose employment started midway through the school year. How does she connect with a community that doesn't even know she's there?
