The PPQ Method: Passion + Practice = Power (Part 4 – Featuring Mickey Smith Jr.)

It’s launch day—and Part 4 of our Teacher-Tested Hacks for Smarter Days series is bringing the 🎺 brass and the brilliance.

This episode features award-winning educator, speaker, and musician Mickey Smith Jr., who shares his go-to classroom strategy: the PPQ Method (Passion–Practice–Questions). It’s the kind of strategy that doesn’t just work—it sings.

Mickey shows how inviting students to connect their personal passions to academic practice sparks not only engagement, but identity. Rae dives into how this would’ve changed the game in her own classroom—and how Mickey’s method isn’t just motivational, it’s doable tomorrow.

If you're tired of fluff and ready for practical tools with soul, this one’s for you.
