Today I am talking with Bryan Chadderdon, a high school Science teacher and soccer coach in Casper, WY.

Looking back on the first season of the Chalkdust Podcast, I reflect on what I learned and what I am looking forward to in Season 2.

Episode 9: Sarah Westphal

Today I am talking with Sarah Weshphal, a middle school math teacher living in Fort Worth, TX. I first met Sarah back in the fall of 2013, during her second year at TCU, when she was considering changing her major. Like so many other education students at TCU, my introductory education class was her first stop in the College of Education. Since that first semester, I have had the opportunity to work with Sarah on other occasions, and I have seen her grow into the incredibly skilled, talented teacher she is today. I am so glad you can join us for this conversation.

Episode 8: Tori Mooibroek

This is a recording of my conversation with Tori Mooibroek last spring. I first met Tori in the fall semester of 2014, when she was enrolled in one of my courses in the College of Education at TCU. A couple of years later, she worked as my graduate teaching assistant, which is where I really got to see Tori’s strengths as a teacher for the first time. In her 4 years as a teacher, she has continued to flourish and have an amazing impact in the lives of her students. I hope you learn as much from Tori as I did.

Becca Wilson West

This week I am talking to Becca Wilson West, a 5th grade science and math teacher living in Mobile, AL.

I got to work with her again more closely during the 2018-19 academic year, when she was a graduate teaching assistant for the same class. Over the years, I have gotten to see Becca grow in her confidence and expertise as a teacher, and I am glad she could join me to talk about how things are going during her first year of teaching.
