Join Weston, Molly, and a bottle of wine as we use iconic teaching moments from movies and television as a vehicle to reflect on instructional practice. We invite you to laugh, agree or disagree, and work toward discovering exactly who you are and where you stand as an educator.

Weston is a former high school teacher and administrator who now works as a Senior Fellow with the International Center for Leadership in Education. His work as a keynoter and instructional coach has afforded him the opportunity to learn alongside teachers and administrators from all 50 states and more than 30 countries around the world.

Molly is a former elementary and middle school teacher who now works with teens and young adults in parochial education programs around Colorado. She and Weston are the parents of two elementary aged children who provide additional fodder for an ed-centric podcast.

Cheers!

Laugh Out Loud Funny...And thought-provoking

I love the tie-in of movies and fun-facts with Molly and Weston's topics. I find myself doing a lot of laughing out loud when I'm listening in my car by myself, as well as reflecting. A fun podcast! "Be well!"

On singing

While every episode of this podcast has entertained me, renewed my love of education, and given me food for thought, there is one thing that has come up that I would like to challenge. Singing. Multiple times Weston has broken out in song after which both Weston and Molly apologize to the listeners. Please stop apologizing and never stop singing. Model to your kids and to your listeners that the value of singing isn’t in the quality of your voice or in the tunefull-ness. (Neither is which has bothered my elementary music teacher ears, by the way.) Singing is good for our brain chemistry, it’s good for our emotions, it’s good for our memory. And we need adults to break out in song and not apologize, but joyfully model that everyone can do it. Please, keep on singing and no more apologies!

Such good stuff for ALL teachers!

I’m a middle school band director and find that every episode is just as easy for me to use as it would be for any other subject. It’s fun and light hearted yet SO full of wisdom and thought. I love this show!
