Customer Reviews
Amazing and Refreshing
Sometimes we get bogged down in the minutiae of education. Maire stepped back and started looking at the reasons behind some of our practices that seem to be counterintuitive. We teach our students to question everything. How can we do the same? How can we make things better for our students? These are questions Maire is confronting head on.
Personalized podcast
Maire weaves anecdotes into each episode of this straightforward podcast that help to give the audience perspective. Guests have shared struggles and triumphs that are relatable for anyone in the field of education.
Real & forward
Nothing is more beneficial than telling it like it is, and that goes for education field. There’s a whole lot of superficial folks in education, and it’s nice to hear someone tell it like it is instead of being superficial.
