The Credible Teacher

In this episode, Mike shares an article highlighting what we can do (as teachers and 'normal' people) to be perceived as more trusting by their peers. Mike talks a lot in this one so brace yourself...thanks for supporting the podcast and let us know what we can improve upon! We appreciate you taking the time to listen and hope you are getting some value from it. Take care!

I document how our self identity plays into how we view students and why doing the work (outside of school) makes us more credible teachers, and more importantly, happier people.

I talk to (the one and only) John Hattie about teacher credibility! Professor Hattie shares who his favorite teacher was as a student and how they created a safe learning environment by using trust, one of the main components of teacher credibility. Hattie shares a boatload of perspective on what it means to be a credible teacher and gives some insights into how teachers can help their students learn more by becoming perceived as credible in their eyes. I'm so grateful for Professor Hattie taking the time to chat and I'm sure you won't be disappointed in this one. Enjoy!

In this episode, Dan drops some knowledge (shares some facts) about a generation that seems to be talked about a lot in society, millennials. It was a good reminder that each generation has their own 'thing'. Thanks for tuning in!
