In this powerful, raw, and deeply honest episode of Sunday Night Teacher Talk, I sit down with one of my teacher heroes—Rafe Esquith, legendary educator and founder of The Hobart Shakespeareans. Rafe opens up about how he went from struggling in the classroom to building one of the most extraordinary programs in public education history.We talk about:The power of slow growth in teachingWhy student buy-in takes time—and patienceHow to build classroom culture that changes livesWhy some of the best teaching comes from anger at injusticeThe importance of empathy, joy, and real-world purpose in educationAnd why “there are no shortcuts” is more than a classroom rule—it’s a way of lifeYou’ll also hear about Rafe’s personal relationship with Sir Ian McKellen, how he avoided burnout for over 35 years, and why “being the person you want your students to become” is the most essential rule of all.Whether you're a first-year teacher or a seasoned educator, this episode is a masterclass in heart, honesty, and what it really takes to transform students' lives—especially when the world underestimates them.The Odyssey Home-End-Of-Year Classroom Experience: https://www.shopteachyourclassoff.com/products/the-odyssey-home-end-of-year-classroom-experience🗣️ Interested in having me speak at your school or organization?
