Join us on the Teach Sleep Repeat podcast as we dive into the toxic ways schools use observations, book looks, and display policies to control and intimidate teachers. We'll share shocking stories sent in by listeners and discuss the negative impact these practices have on educators' mental health and job satisfaction. But don't worry, we're not just here to complain! We'll also explore healthier ways to hold teachers accountable without resorting to fear and intimidation.
