S2 Ep. 3 Finn

We talk about why Cole loves teaching, the importance of fun, making math accessible to all students, and we dig a bit into the culture at our school. Also grief metaphors and Finn sneezes.

S2 Ep. 4 Cole Harding

In this episode, Jessica and I talk about her Multicultural Perspectives Class -- a cohort of students that works to address systemic problems within the education system, and our school specifically. And I talk about a bunch of random things that have been on my mind since it's been three months since we had a pod.

What Do We Know?

S2 Ep. 5 Jessica Post

The repetitive nature of teaching lends itself to living life on autopilot. That makes it all the more important to step back and refresh. What we do know works? How do we know that? What can we do better? How many of the answers are within reach? What more do we need to know?

This podcast aims to name and explore the most important issues that teachers face every day inside and outside the classroom. Through organic conversations, we will unpack the challenges facing modern educators, discuss student-centered solutions to these problems, and reflect on our strengths and weaknesses.
