Today, we are headed into educational territory that people don’t often talk about. That’s right, we are talking all about student teachers. It is important to remember that we all start somewhere, so we sat down with two student teachers who are just starting out on their teaching journey. Daniel Allen and Luke Saunders are currently serving as student teachers within our school building and we were lucky enough to pick their brains about what their student teaching experience has been like so far. Sometimes we forget what it is like to be the new kid on the block, but Luke and Daniel really opened up about the highs and the lows that they have experienced. If you have ever had a student teacher in your classroom, then hopefully this episode will shed some light on what it’s like to be a student teacher in 2019. Full Show Notes at toptennteaching.com

#030 State of Education

Today’s episode comes to you from a distance. We are both recording in separate locations so that we can be protected from COVID-19 and we are talking all about distance learning. Like so many districts around the state of Tennessee and around the country, our local school district is closed until the end of the month, but we will be implementing distance learning. Today we are going to be talking about how to make the most of distance learning and how to make it work for you and your students. We hope you will find this episode useful as we all navigate uncharted waters in the weeks to come and that you leave today’s episode feeling a little less overwhelmed about what distance learning might look like.

On today's episode, we are talking with Caroline Roberts Davis. Caroline is currently finishing up her second year of teaching 6th grade science at the same middle school that she attended as a student. Caroline shares with us the ups and downs of being a new teacher, what her experience has been like, and what some common misconceptions of new teachers are. We really enjoyed this conversation and appreciated the honesty that Caroline brought to the table.   Mentioned in this episode:  Gerry Brooks's Aunt Becky Video
