    Special Episode: Traveling Maestros Unbook Club

    The Traveling Teach is partnering with Maestros Vibe to bring you our first unbook club! I am sharing this podcast produced by the incredible group of teachers from Maestros Vibe podcast, Kevin Argueta, Karina Hernandez, and Juan Espinal. Today's podcast is a conversation around different books and texts we have recently read. From authors like Angela Davis, Cleo Wade, Oprah Winfrey, Morgan Harper Nicholas, and Bettina Love, we discuss books and texts that have helped us grow and reflect during these moments of social change. Starting on July 4th, we will begin our first book club that you can join by going to: http://www.maestrosvibe.com/book-club/

This episode is especially helpful for anyone interested in the experience of teaching abroad. Enjoy!

    Ep. 7: Sweden and Star for Life

    Today we are in Stockholm, talking with the leaders at Star for Life, a non-profit educational organization. We have Secretary-General Anki Elken and Jana Söderberg, who will present most of the information. However, we have some important additions of Ulrika Hjelm and Merry Stromberg. This is by far the longest podcast, but another phenomenal one focused on mental health.  Let's develop a great mental awareness on how to input these practices in our schools. Time to practice active listening!
