In this episode, we have our very first guest, Lindsay Swiatek, a STEM teacher who works with Josh. Both Josh and Erin have collaborated with Lindsay in a variety of ways, and she is the perfect person to help us think about how to bring project based learning into the classroom. She has great stories from her own classroom as well as suggestions on how to try something new (and possibly scary) in your classroom. You will see from the list of Shoutouts, this episode has a lot to offer our listeners.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
