October 11, 2017 Conversation 29 - Krista Penrod - Embracing Your Freakouts
Krista Penrod, grade 8 ELA teacher, is the real deal; let that be said. We begin by talking about embracing our freakouts (and the unusual response Krista has to nerves) and go deep on the idea of failure - not so much for students but for teachers. We ultimately land on the isolating environment of teaching and how to break out of it. Honest, freewheeling and fun, our conversation reveals Krista to be a truly inspiring educator.

October 04, 2017 Conversation 28 - Teresa Gross - Nerdy for Books
It sure feels good to get all nerdy once in a while, and this time out, I've got Teresa Gross to help me do just that. A reading teacher from X, Teresa is an avid (and self-proclaimed) book nerd. We talk about books (of course), building positive student relationships, and how to get carpool karaoke happening in your class.

After 20 checkins we've finally decided to tackle it: failure. What is it? How can we use it? What are the benefits and drawbacks? It's a speedy but thoroughly thoughtful conversation all about one of the hottest educational terms. Of course, there's also wins and fails along with our timeouts.

In the third part on our brief series on Twitter, I'm joined by Derek Rhodenizer and Tom Whitby; although motivated by our mutual use of Twitter, our conversation quickly pushed into fresh territory, tackling questions about institutional change.
