In today’s episode, the tables are turned as Jamie, Natalie, and Rachel ask upcoming teachers Val and Eden what excites them about teaching, what intimidates them most, what the purpose of school is, and what their personal teaching philosophy is. Val shares her thinking around classroom management, and Eden encourages teachers not to limit students’ interests based on teacher expectations. The conversation is a refreshing call to remind all educators what the whole purpose of education is. When there are a million other voices telling you what to care about in your classroom, we invite you to listen to this conversation and ground yourself in what truly matters.
Today at school, consider this: How can you create a safe space for students? What do you believe the purpose of education is? What is your greater purpose for teaching? What still excites you about teaching?
