💙💙FRIENDS!!💙💙

I’m trying to get the word out about my podcast where I and my colleagues, former colleagues, teacher besties, subject experts, and all my Jack and Jane-of-all-Subject friends, and our favorite core subject teachers discuss everything from band camp to two-a-days, theater budgets to flexible seating, and everything else random in education.

I’m asking my friends and family to SHARE, LIKE, FOLLOW, SUBSCRIBE, and of course LISTEN & DOWNLOAD!!

We DO Teach That!!

Why do so many think vocations are no longer taught in public education? Not only are they still taught, trades/vocations are getting taught more than ever! Everything from floral design and welding to culinary and agriculture...

Join me and my favorite CTE Coordinator as we discuss why today's teens are being prepared for life outside of the classroom AND a college campus.
