Enjoyable
I’m a retired professional, and I am studying pedagogy to volunteer teach. I found this by chance. Enjoyable! Better than boring professors in Masters in Ed program. When you want practical information—ask the practitioner.
VERY helpful for first year teachers!
This is my first year as a teacher and I don’t know what I’m doing in the classroom yet so this podcast is PERFECT to help me generate ideas to get more kids engaged in the lessons. Thank you for doing this!!!
