Teacher Breath

By Chip

Teacher Breath is the podcast equivalent to hanging out with your teacher friends. Sometimes the conversations surrounding education can get a little dry, and in a world full of grading, data, and best practices, Teacher Breath is just the tonic you need. We take education seriously... just not too seriously. So grab a drink, take a breath, and enjoy.

Remote Control #2

Welcome to the second episode of Teacher Breath's special Remote Learning series, Remote Control!

Educators all over the world have recently been thrust into completely uncharted territory but, luckily, Teacher Breath has your back.

For the duration of the Remote Learning period we'll be releasing a new episode every week focused solely on the unique issues surrounding this experience.

This week Chip and co-hosts Rosie and Ryan discuss how to keep your remote lessons from getting stale, what administrators are doing during all of this, and Chip asks the Remote Learning question that's been on everyone's mind: what the hell does online gym look like?

6. Hats on Hats on Hats

It's the much anticipated sixth episode of Teacher Breath! This week I'm talking to my good friend Cooley about what got him interested in education, the joy of managing adults, and just what the hell a guidance counselor actually does.

Cooley has had plenty of jobs in education, from Phys Ed Teacher to Guidance Counselor to Assistant Principal. Let me put it this way. He has an extensive collection of name tags and hairnets.

1. Hello, Teacher Friends

It's the inaugural episode of Teacher Breath!  This week we're talking about teacher friends, dodgeball, and drinking.  A fair amount about drinking. It won't always be so much about drinking.
