Ep 170: Brian Hoehn Gathers Data, Not Points
Brian Hoehn joins us this week to talk about his experience in the classroom as a math teacher, as well as about his current role as a TOSA. We talk about grades and if they matter (answer: not that much), plus Brian shares some great methods for making testing a valuable learning experience for students, rather than just another score chase.

Ep 168: Crystal Frommert Loves Calling Parents
Crystal Frommert teaches math at an international school in Texas. She joins us to chat about her cross-cultural experience in that space, plus how she works within that context to build a positive and productive classroom experience. Crystal talks about how solutions to issues are rarely a binary thing, but are more often in the gray area. We also discuss ungrading, and her book When Calling Parents isn't Your Calling.

Ep 167 - At Home with Elle Cole
Elle Cole is a multi-hyphenate educator who joins us to talk about her seven years of homeschooling her two children. She tells us about the advantages - like student choice and motivation - and some disadvantages, like what to do when you've had a tough day with your students. Elle is also an advocate for Sickle Cell Disease, which affects one of her children. So yeah - we talk about that, too.

Ep 166: Oh Look! It’s Allyson Apsey
This week's guest just happens to be Allyson Apsey, and she joins us to chat about serendipity. And it's not just a coincidence, either. She's been thinking about this mindset and exploring it for quite some time as an administrator and now highly-in-demand consultant. In addition to chewing on the benefits of being open to new opportunities, we also chat about what it means to be a whole teacher, both within and beyond the profession.

Customer Reviews
Teachers, we deserve this
I listen to this podcast and I laugh, feel affirmed, and remember that I do, in fact, know what I’m doing. Can I please listen to these episodes instead of attending PD?
Entertaining yet professional (despite the name of the show)
Love listening to these guys. They are spot on about education and so funny. Great banter!
Funny and Inspiring
These guys make me laugh all of the time, but are also committed and kind educators who inspire me as much as entertain me on their show. These are the guys I would totally want to hang out with in the faculty lounge.
