#061 - Brittany Loder | Woodshop Wonder Woman

Brittany Loder is a Secondary Humanities and CTS Teacher has been over the profession for more than a decade. On this episode, we discuss assumptions made about female teachers in Trades education and how they are treated, close calls in the shop, the utility of threats, my lack of education in my wood shop career, setting clear expectations in a dangerous environment, why stay teaching trades when you can practice the trade and make way more money, Women Building Futures, why women excel in trades, the “skills” of a good educator, the importance of flexibility, the lowest moments of her teaching career, generational parenting changes, instilling a healthy level of fear in the students, getting low-performing students to trust teachers, and, much more!
