Hello everyone! It is my absolute pleasure to bring you one of my favorite people in the world, Nicole Marte, otherwise known as @MarteintheMiddle on Instagram to continue our discussion about the power of teaching middle school, why it's the best school, and debunking (and validating) myths about teaching middle schoolers. If you missed part 1, check it out here. A lot of personal anecdotes in this one, both from Nicole and I, and just a lot of pure fun. This is one of those great episodes of the podcast where we just talked and enjoyed our mutual love of teaching. Nicole is definitely one of the coolest teachers out there, and you owe it to yourself to be fueled by her kindness and honesty. Come and listen along and laugh with us! Enjoy! Support the podcast by checking out my new book, Teach Me, Teacher – Life Lessons that Taught Me How to Be a Better Teacher.
