Fantastic Podcast!!!
It was great! Just listened to it tonight. Love hearing the way @ruthcbyrne talks about her teaching process & how she helps students scaffold their thinking through play, blocks & the creative process.
This podcast provides so many amazing guests and they cover such a wide array of topics and themes. You always get practical things to try on Monday and deeper gifts that inspire you to reflect and think more about. If you haven’t subscribed…. You need to!
Teacher Appreciation and Mental Health
I have never been motivated to write a review about any podcast or product before this. I was highly impacted by this conversation. Thank you for the length and depth of sharing among your guests. I have immediately implemented the concept of evaluating my to actions to ask is this self-soothing or self-care, and how will it affect my tomorrow? While it was Mr. Crespo who lead me to your podcast, the hosts will keep me coming back!
My favorite arts ed podcast!
I may be a bit biased, but I love this podcast. Since Matt and Laura started hosting, the quality has been incredible! It is meaningful to me to hear about the experiences of other arts educators and arts integration/STEAM educators. I highly recommend this!
