No Name Paper: The Teacher Podcast – Episode 1Episode Title: "Why Teaching? Why Now?"
Release Date: April 4,2025
Welcome to the first-ever episode of No Name Paper: The Teacher Podcast! Join your host, Meghan Wells, alongside Candice Miller, as we kick off the conversation around one critical question: Why teaching, and why now?
We'll unpack why teaching is not only essential but deeply personal—and how educators from around the community are answering this important question. Plus, we share the meaning behind our unique podcast name, "No Name Paper," and why it's a perfect metaphor for the diverse, complicated, and wonderfully messy world of education.
Our first Book Club pick is "Culture First Classrooms" by Dr. Darrin Peppard.
