The Teachers' Carpenter Podcast

Welcome to The Teacher’s Carpenter, the podcast where real teachers, real stories, and real conversations take center stage. Each episode, host Chandler invites an educator or expert to the workbench to talk shop about the realities of teaching—the wins, the struggles, and the things we wish we had known sooner. This is NOT another dry, academic discussion or a “how-to” for lesson planning. This is a behind-the-scenes look at teaching—the kind of conversation you’d have with your fellow educators after school, coffee in hand (or let’s be honest, something stronger on a Friday). Each episode features a guest educator who picks the topic—no scripts, no fluff, just real talk about what matters in classrooms today. From literacy and engagement to surviving your first year or navigating teaching during a pandemic, The Teacher’s Carpenter builds on lived experiences, honest reflections, and the kind of insight you can only get from those who’ve been in the trenches.
