Today’s Learning Objective: We will list attributes of an effective educator and rank them by importance to typify the ideal teacher.

Mrs. B tells us her district’s not-B.S. plan to go back in the fall. Mrs. B  and Mrs. W. discuss the top ten attributes that make an impactful teacher. Things discussed that didn’t make the list include horrible name memory, being an “edu-tainer,” brain science probably supporting the idea that having a cluttered desk means you’re a better teacher, and making wild conjectures about how many calories you burn in the classroom.  Mrs. B recommends some great books, and Mrs. W talks about her love of laminators and clipboards. Our fact checkers can confirm the name of the book Mrs. B was trying to remember WAS Onward.

Today’s Learning Objective: We will find a work-life balance that teachers can implement in their daily lives.

In this emotional rollercoaster of an episode, Mrs. B and Mrs. W discuss topless blackberry smashing and relive some sad tough-love memories, but mostly talk a lot about their (literally) unhealthy obsession with Diet Coke. Plus, we’ll divulge the best ways to hide from co-workers and students so you can get some work done.
