We Teach Your Kids

Riley and Brandi discuss the return to school and how the pandemic has impacted educators and students.

Quick update on the status of new episodes.

Emily joins us again to continue our discussion about returning to school during the coronavirus pandemic. We chat about teacher evaluations in the wake of online learning, the feasibility of adhering to social distancing guidelines, and more.

Riley and Brandi chat about what they’ve been up to during quarantine and discuss the many uncertainties facing educators during the pandemic.

Join us for Season 2 beginning in mid to late June.

This week, Sarah, a special education teacher finishing her first year as the lead teacher in a CDCA classroom, discusses her journey to education, why the FBI offered her a job, and the beautiful quiet of a bathroom break.

Sarah tells us about her experience as an administrator at the district level, gives us some great book recommendations, and details the time she got to play a wizard.

Join us for this insightful and hilarious interview with Carmen. She offers valuable advice for new teachers and administrators and shares her experiences in a variety of roles within public education.

In this illuminating interview with Abby, we learn about the hard decisions schools and administrators have to make when considering personnel, budgets, and enrollment. We find out about the difficult position this can put fine arts teachers (like Abby) in. We also discuss the personal financial cost of being a public educator and why fine arts education is so important.

Listen in for our first two-person interview as we talk to Kristin and Travis about being co-librarians at a high school. They tell us how their partnership works, why they wish teachers could have unlimited budgets for professional development, and they give some quality advice for first year educators.
