Fuzzy feelings and wardrobe malfunctions: Lindsay Deacon and Amanda Kamm share their best teacher stories

NWEA

What’s it like in classrooms right now? The only way to know is to ask a teacher, so we sat down with a first-grade elementary teacher and a sixth-grade social studies & science teacher and listened. Topics include: Modeling respect, making everyone feel included, and being your authentic self in the classroom. We hear stories about how kids (and parents!) can hit you right in the feels and the instructional value of kicking your students’ butts in soccer. Plus: Post-its, Post-its, Post-its! (Including both appropriate and inappropriate uses.)
