Episode 13 is here! Sorry for the hiatus; grad school has kinda taken over my life! Thus, the idea for this episode was born, lol. I decided to talk about juggling grad school and teaching. It's not easy, but the knowledge is well worth it!

We're back with a new episode! Sorry for the wait; this past week was crazy! In this episode, I talk about the importance o showing investment within your students. My students freak out when I tell them that we have similar interests. They also feel invested when you incorporate content that they are into in your lessons. I truly believe that student investment is essential to building your classroom content. Hope that you enjoy the episode! Follow me on IG @ 1sgenteacherlens :)
