Episode Middle School: Mary Poppins 2.0: A Spoonful of Educator Sugar - Why Mary Needs a Comeback
Remember when Mary Poppins seemed like the ultimate fix for everything? As a teacher and therapist, I’ve spent years wishing we had her magic back in the classroom. I’m Suzanne M. Swain, EDS/MSSW, and I've lived between the worlds of therapy and education, teaching emotions, middle school, and everything in between. In this episode, we’ll dive deep into the heart of teaching and how creativity, empathy, and a sprinkle of that "Mary Poppins" magic can revive education. Together, we’ll explore how teachers can reclaim their spark, bring joy back into learning, and foster real connection with students—because, as Dr. Rita Pierson said, "Kids don’t learn from people they don’t like." Join me on this whimsical journey to rethink middle school, inspire creativity, and rediscover the joy of teaching. Let’s create a new version of education that nurtures both students and teachers, because, like Mary Poppins, we have the power to transform lives—one classroom at a time. Ready to play? Let’s rewrite the game together!
