In the debut episode of Teaching Takes, host Bryan Doppel is joined by Lindsay Masland to explore the most impactful teaching advice educators have received throughout their careers. From embracing intentional design to fostering kindness in the classroom, this episode features thoughtful voicemails from Blake Nielsen (Columbia College), Cacey Wells (Appalachian State University), and Lindsay Doukopoulos (Auburn University). Together, Bryan and Lindsay (Masland) reflect on how advice—both good and bad—shapes our teaching identities and practices.
