        Peter Hostrawser has been a teacher for over 20 years in the Chicago area, where he teaches business and broadcast journalism. He is also co-host of the Disrupt Education Podcast.

          • 2: Classroom Humor, Audible Assignments, and Scuba Archaeology with Stephen G.

            Stephen Guerriero taught for 20-years as a social studies teacher in the Boston area. We speak about many different things, including how important it is to bring your own personality and humor into class, how to best use audio in your classroom—including for assignments and for feedback—and an amazing story that illustrates the power that one teacher can have on a student's life. If you enjoy this episode half as much as I enjoyed our conversation, you'll be getting a ton of value out of it.
