Zach Long interviews Kathy Lassalle on episode 5 of the More Than Teachers Movement podcast. Through their conversation, we hear about the importance of life-long learning, growing over time in your teaching career, and building meaningful relationships with your co-workers. Focusing on these three areas will help teachers to create a career that they love.

Hayley Klees gives us the low down on how we can use extra-curriculars to help build up trust in your classroom. Her unique perspective made me reconsider my view on how teachers should approach taking on after school activities.
