How would you describe the teacher team that you’re a part of in your school? Collaborative and aligned? Divided and negative? The climate of your teacher team truly can make or break your experience as a teacher. If your team is the complete opposite of collaborative, and the dynamic is causing a toxic work environment, then it’s time to work towards fixing it. We are starting this important conversation (which sometimes can be an awkward one!) in today’s episode.

Things like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and podcasting have expanded the teacher universe in a way that was never possible before. The technology has allowed the teaching community to explode their reach and make their voices heard. We both feel like we are better teachers because we found community in social media. Today we’re sharing our perspective on two social media platforms specifically - Instagram and TikTok!

The countdown to our 100th episode continues! Today we’re going in a bit of a different direction and are talking about teachers becoming business owners. So often, teachers are taught by outside companies who have absolutely zero experience with teaching. That’s why it’s so incredible that we are in the midst of a movement of teachers taking back the reins of being the experts in teaching. To celebrate this movement, we’re sharing our stories of getting started in business, plus a list of 20 teacher businesses that we admire.
