Welcome back to a new episode of Rebel Teacher Alliance! This week, the team talks joy, burnout, and the magic (literal and figurative) of fourth quarter teaching. Fabian dives into Parafly—how it’s helping students flex those paraphrasing muscles and why sometimes voting gets… weird. Scott launches a Hero’s Journey project to inject purpose (and birds?) into his class while Jamie, on spring break, discovers the hidden treasure that is a 2,800-card Magic the Gathering archive. Plus, action figures, Canva coding, and a little love for life-size Bananagrams—all wrapped up in our ever-popular segment “Whatcha been playin’…?”
