The Credible Teacher

I share my perspective on how the end of the school year is so 'final' and how the odds of us teaching the group of students we teach each year is so small that there has to be some significance to the shared experience. Maybe...

A student tells me she wants to be a teacher when she grows up and I give her some advice...document what you are experiencing as you grow up so you can use it to relate to your future students when you are teaching them.

I share conversation I had with a coworker and how the end of the year is a great opportunity to meet students where they're at while attempting to keep perspective on what it is we are doing.

I reflected on receiving a nice message about the podcast, how being empathetic is hard and how keeping perspective about doing our best may help us enjoy the end of the year.

I reflect on a conversation I had with a student about accomplishing their dreams and something I share with students about the skills they need for a future job that doesn't even exist yet.

I went for a lunch walk reflecting on a conversation I had with a coworker and how our flaws could make us more credible to our students.

I share a conversation I had with a parent about belief and take some time to reflect on my struggles with self worth is I build The Credible Teacher.

I got a new microphone to record with my phone and I share my response to students that are playing games when they should be working on class work.

I share 2 stories. One about a student and apologizing for late work and one about a toilet issue.

I share a story about the possibility of wearing short shorts school and answering a question from a student on whether or not being a kid is more difficult than being an adult.
