Brian Hoehn joins us this week to talk about his experience in the classroom as a math teacher, as well as about his current role as a TOSA. We talk about grades and if they matter (answer: not that much), plus Brian shares some great methods for making testing a valuable learning experience for students, rather than just another score chase.

This week's guest just happens to be Allyson Apsey, and she joins us to chat about serendipity. And it's not just a coincidence, either. She's been thinking about this mindset and exploring it for quite some time as an administrator and now highly-in-demand consultant. In addition to chewing on the benefits of being open to new opportunities, we also chat about what it means to be a whole teacher, both within and beyond the profession.

This week, Mealey and guest-host Tudisco chat with Jay Wamstead about...well, lots of stuff. Jay is a middle school teacher who puts a special emphasis on building trust with students. But that doesn't stop the conversation from veering into testing, grading, racial inequality, and, of course, which muppet is the best.

Donnie Piercey is the 2021 Kentucky teacher of the year and he joins us to talk about that experience, plus his fun approach in the classroom. At the centre of his practice is teaching kids to create, rather than to consume. We also practice how to say "fermented shark" with an Icelandic accent. It does not go well.
