I'm so excited to share four podcasts that I absolutely love to use as a teacher. These podcasts inspire inquiry and offer opportunities for students to develop listening and critical thinking skills. Take a listen if you'd like to hear about these podcasts and different ways I've used them in the classroom.

The Big Fib

Greeking Out

But Why

Smash Boom Best

Do you use podcasts in the classroom in other ways? I'd love to hear!

Have you ever felt guilty for taking time off work? We know as teachers that we deserve our personal days, but what do we do if these yucky feelings come up? In this episode I talk about reframes I've found helpful during situations like this and wanted to share in case it can help someone else.

Hey teach! Welcome back to another episode. Thanks for checking out the podcast today!  As a kid, I was filled with self-doubt and no matter how many times I told myself that being different was great, it didn't do much to boost my confidence. So, in this episode I wanted to share some activities that you can do with students to help them become more self-aware and in turn, confident.

In this episode I talk briefly about essential agreements. If you want to hear more about essential agreements, check out:  Episode 27: Making Classroom Agreements Effective w/ Hunter Flesch

Hey teach! It's been a while! I'm so excited to be back with you in good old 2022.  I know 2021 was a struggle for all of us in many different ways, and for me I know it's been tough getting the energy to make some moves for the new year. So, in this episode I share a little bit about what I've been up to and some things I'm trying to get motivated for the new year.

Hey teach! I'm so excited to be back with you today after taking a few weeks off. This year has been BUSY, but you know that :)

In today's episode, I share about an experience I had with a coworker last week and how it got me thinking about the importance of managing our energy. We all have so much on our plates right now, and I wanted to share 3 things I've been doing to help me better balance my energy throughout the week. Because, let's face it, no one likes feeling depleted or negative.
