“Kids are so different now.” I heard that everywhere when I was out of the classroom...and honestly, I believed it. So when I returned to teaching, I was nervous. Would students still connect? Would joy and play still work? Would the classroom feel familiar at all?

In this episode, I share what I actually discovered when I came back: what has changed about students, what hasn’t, and why the magic of teaching is still alive and well. If you’ve ever worried that “kids these days” are too different, this is a hopeful reminder that the heart of students, and learning, hasn’t changed at all.
