Can You Pass The 2022 AWARDS AND RECOGNITION CEREMONY Test Now?

As we continue celebrating the new year, we are wondering can you pass the 2022 Awards and Recognition Ceremony Test? Every year, Urban Academics celebrates the highs and lows of the previous year and the accomplishments and contributions made to the platform or weekly roundtable.

We believe it necessary to de-brief and make decisions based on factual information and feedback from the membership. Urban Academics presents its annual stats and a list of Chosen Visionaries from 2022 below:

The Urban Academics Roundtable as of January, 2022:

Urban Academics sent out its first invitation for its first guided imagery dinner party on April 16, 2020. It was in direct response to and on the heels of the U.S. Department of Education’s decision to close public schools and waive educational requirements due to COVID-19 and the worldwide pandemic.

2022 Awards and Recognition

Now that Urban Academics is a toddler (16-months-old), we understand that we are off and walking, still holding onto the walls and sometimes needing balance. We are excited to report having had several pilot programs over the last year that have proven fruitful for those individuals and the table at large. The goal is to teach one, but that’s only possible when we can care about one another, give information – the good parts too, and share resources.

When we are filled with God’s blessings, it’s hard to keep the good stuff to yourself because you know if you do not share, it will eventually choke you. There is no competition because most folks will not do anything towards their goals or visions, only talk about them and sow discord regarding those busy doing/working their plan. I call it jealousy, but there might be another word for it.

Chosen Visionaries are rarely messy and not too nosey – We are too busy trying to figure out what’s next. We understand that the dispensation we find ourselves under has the book of revelation all over it. We live in a time where it is difficult to think of anyone other than ourselves. However, that position might make I difficult due to so many needs bigger than me or you. Once we reach the point where we believe none of this belongs to us and it (stuff) doesn’t matter anyway, we begin to walk through the door of grace.

The church talks about tithing (10%), and so does the bible! Who caught the fact that I separated the church and the bible? Of course, they do go together (church and the bible), but the two terms are not necessarily interchangeable. My charge is to give 10% wherever you see the need (CLOSE TO YOU). If you know a child in the winter with a jacket on, you know they need a coat – Please BUY the CHILD a COAT; That’s TRULY a gift to G.O.D. Because he (God) needs that child to be warm and feel love. Otherwise, you would NOT be the one who sees the need. Your church will be fine.

I know people who have plenty, yet tight as girdles. They would NEVER consider giving anyone anything outside of their immediate church or circle; They will not part with their money, wisdom, or anything else but appear to be blessed. Chosen Visionaries are blessed to be a blessing to the masses, and they know it. As the creator of Urban Academics, I cannot call you Chosen! You must agree to the knowledge of that fact, or not all on your own.

Chosen Visionaries in the HOT-Seat

HOT-Seat Chosen Visionaries come from varying backgrounds and all walks of life. We celebrate each one in their collective and individual contribution to this content-creation and story-telling platform. These conversations are R.A.W., REAL, and RELEVANT, and there’s not another platform quite like this one. Consider joining us at the Urban Academics Roundtable every Thursday. There is a virtual (guided imagery) dinner party where the venue for Kings and Queens serves food suitable for the body, mind, and soul. It’s FREE, but you must register >>>

A Teachers Purpose and Holiday Thoughts with Linda Taylor (Long Island, NY), Author, Entrepreneur, Poet, and Retired Certified Teacher is Chosen Visionary in HOT-Seat Number 82

How to Save Money with a TEACHER’S PURPOSE?

80 Replies

A Teacher’s Purpose can change from day to day; How to save money with a teacher’s purpose is another thing entirely. Sometimes minute by minute a circumstance or situation can change the dynamic no matter what you have planned. If you work with people, you must learn to be flexible if it’s not part of your anatomy. Anytime you have more than one person around, teaching can and must happen. The teacher’s purpose is certainly the driving force, but most often is developed over time based on who he or she is working for, or with and what outcomes are expected.

As the year ends and 2022 rings in, teachers are fighting for their lives and rights. There’s no one else on earth who should be paid more than teachers, but that’s not how we do things here in these United States of America, AKA (in the hood) the United States of America.

Because of the worldwide pandemic COVID-19, 20 and 21 teachers from all over the country have taken flight leaving their already over-burdened jobs. It appears that trillions of dollars have been thrown at education, but the truth is education has always been the front for urban growth and development for urban youth. The question is where did those dollars go? We know for certain others were NOT spent on helping early learners to know how to count, read, or write. NOW, we are here. We don’t have time to fight – Only to teach; Please let us?

What about Urban Academics?

At Urban Academics, we produce topical content that enables black, brown, poor, and other folks who live the inner-city urban experience. Each weekly segment features a new Chosen Visionary from all walks of life, sharing their stories of failure, success, tenacity, and more. Collectively, contributions to the world are significant. Chosen Visionaries do not run from worldwide pandemics but rather do all they can to chart their individual and collective course! Those who don’t give up ultimately find success, and here in this post, you will meet our next Chosen Visionary in HOT-Seat Number SEVENTY-Nine (79).

How to Save Money With Teachers Purpuse?

Every governor in every state has the power to save money with a teacher’s purpose. Most educational entities are top-heavy because most of the roles are political. Therefore, sometimes the best answers are overlooked because the folks with them (ideas) are overworked, and are not able to sit in decision-making rooms. There are states that bring certain teachers into the mix to create comradery amongst the teaching profession, but that hardly cuts the grade because the numbers are not balanced.

If we took the summer months to design the school year, rather than the pseudo summer school programs carried on in our inner-city schools, we could re-purpose money floating it in the right direction for the same children, utilizing teachers working together answering a few key questions. I won’t answer those in this blog, but you can join us at the Urban Academics Roundtable to hear from Chosen VIsionary in HOT-Seat Number 82, Lady Linda Turner.

You save money when you understand a teacher’s purpose. Just allow him or her to do whatever they feel, in order to move a child from ZERO to HERO! If it doesn’t cross ethics or integrity, allow good teachers to go on and teach. After all, isn’t that what they should do – Teach?

PIMOSH is enrolling now for individual (1:1) tutorial and academic services. Remember, the gift of education keeps giving!

How To Turn Your MOTIVATION From Zero To Hero

383 Replies

Motivating is the most powerful piece to your drive; without it, you have none (drive). Merely thinking about the people you want to meet, places you want to go, and the things you want to do won’t happen if an action or some kind of movement is not taken. Almost every young person I work with has a dream, something they really want; However, few have a plan or vision for how they will attain it.

In my work at PIMOSH, which is an acronym for People Involved in Motivating Our Students Higher. So, you know how many motivating means to me – It’s our middle name.
