Dr. Sarah Watt is an Associate Professor at Miami University of Ohio, and, prior to that, Sarah was a K-12 teacher for over a decade. In Episode 15, Sarah and I think aloud together about her educational journey, including how her experiences living in South Africa influenced her perspectives. We discuss our shared love for working with middle schoolers, and our appreciation for the work teachers do every day.
