In this episode, the hosts welcome Maria Gallagher, fourth-grade teacher and co-author of the upcoming Transformative Teacher Handbook. Maria walks us through one of her favorite protocols—the Repuzzler—created by Jacob Carr. This remix of the classic Frayer model offers a hands-on, full-class challenge that works across content areas (yes, even math).

The conversation also explores Maria’s journey into EduProtocols, her love of community-building in the classroom, and her take on flexible seating, timers, and the ever-fickle classroom tech. From her days in special ed to her current general ed role, Maria shares practical tips and stories that highlight how protocols can transform classroom culture.
