Meet Your Hosts

Episode SummaryMeet your podcast hosts- Annie & Nichole. These two friends both teach in the upper elementary classroom and decided to share their excitement for all things teaching with fellow educators!Annie is a 4th grade teacher in a Catholic school in Chicago. She is beginning her 17th year in the classroom- all 17 years have been at the same school, in the same classroom (and the same grade). Annie’s husband, Mark, and their dog Tipperary (a therapy dog) also work at a local Catholic high school. When not teaching Annie enjoys exploring National Parks and running/swimming/Peloton. In 2017 Annie had the honor of being the Iditarod Teacher on the Trail, following the race via bush plane!Nichole is a 5th grade teacher in a public school in Colorado. She is beginning her 24th year in the classroom. Nichole and her husband love doing all things outdoors- camp & hike. Nichole is also a big Denver Broncos fan!Annie and Nichole met through Teachers Pay Teachers and realized they had a lot in common- often relying on each other for classroom advice during their weekly TPT meetings. From there, sparked the idea for a podcast- sharing their ideas with fellow teachers!We’ll be putting out two episodes a month- often with the same theme! So we hope you’ll follow along and bring us with you on your teaching journey!Topics Discussed-Introduction to Annie & Nichole-Plan for the Podcast- 2 Episodes a Month-Where to Find Us- Instagram & FacebookLinks and Resources-Follow Annie on TPT, Instagram & Facebook-Follow Nichole on TPT, Instagram, & FacebookSubscribe to the ShowMake sure to follow Off Task Teachers so you never miss an episode—or the extra tips and resources we drop in the show notes.
