Welcome to this new iteration of our podcast! From now on, we will be called Rebel Teacher Alliance and we are so excited for what we have planned for the future! Listen for why we decided to change our name and some sneaks for what we have in store! This week, Scott talks about a defunct piano that he inherited and fixed up for his classroom, Jamie dives into her bookclub experience where she read Cultivating Genius and how she discovered novels in verse, and why going to meetings outside of contract hours can be a tricky thing. Finally, Jamie and Scott share their experience with Bears vs. Babies in our ever popular segment "Whatcha been playin'...?".
