Episodes

  1. Stories from School: Trevor Muir

    I interview an innovative, insightful global studies teacher from Grand Rapids, Michigan.

  2. Reasons I Love Teaching: Student Voice

    People talk about student voice in relation to their education. I get that. I really do. But it's also awesome to watch them develop a voice on their world and their interests.

  3. Reasons I Love Teaching: Products

    Sometimes the product is what matters.

  4. Reasons I Love Teaching: Seeing Former Students

    Seeing former students is something that allows me to see the larger narrative that I miss during the school year.

  5. Reasons I Love Teaching: Library Time

    It's like a candy shop for them.

  6. Reasons I Love Teaching: Curiosity

    Thoughts after a simple inquiry-based lesson.

  7. Reasons I Love Teaching: Student Art

    I love it, because it's not pretentious.

  8. Reasons I Love Teaching: Debate

    I love the way kids debate. I love the lack of pretentiousness and the overall open-mindedness.

  9. Reasons I Love Teaching: Disillusionment

    There's something humbling about disillusionment.

  10. Reasons I Love Teaching: Growth

    The thing about growth is that it's not always measurable, even if it's observable.

  11. Reasons I Love Teaching: Silence

    That crazy, magical moment that happens when kids are so immersed in their learning that it all becomes quiet.

  12. Reasons I Love Teaching: Discipline Issues

    I don't like discipline issues, but it's one of those necessary things that causes me to grow as a teacher.

  13. Reasons I Love Teaching: Collaboration

    I know it's kind-of a buzzword, but it's amazing when it actually happens the right way.

  14. Reasons I Love Teaching: Learning from Students

    People talk about "learning from students" in that deep, inspirational way. I see that and experience that. However, it's also awesome to learn through the random areas where a student is already an expert.

  15. Reasons I Love Teaching: Growth

    Thoughts on a growth mindset and why it leads to being thankful.

  16. Reasons I Love Teaching: Humor

    I used to see humor as "shallow." I don't believe that anymore.

  17. Reasons I Love Teaching: Grading

    I didn't always love grading. However, when my mindset changed, it became something I enjoy.

  18. Reasons I Love Teaching: Variety

    I used to work at a grocery store. I learned how dreary repetitive work could be. That's never the case with teaching.

  19. Reasons I Love Teaching: My PLN

    I'm not crazy about the term "PLN" but it's a part of why I love this gig. I love the community that I'm a part of.

  20. Reasons I Love Teaching: Being on Duty

    I didn't always love this part of the job. Now I see why it matters.

  21. Reasons I Love Teaching: Refining

    I love the fact that I can refine my lessons this year and improve the learning experience for my students.

  22. Reasons I Love Teaching: Families

    I love getting to know families.

  23. Reasons I Love Teaching: Day Two

    Today's reason is a little surprising: sit-and-get professional development.

  24. Reasons I Love Teaching: Day One

    I love setting up the classroom space.
