This summer on the podcast we’re going to be taking a break from our normal content. This past year has been draining for everyone, especially teachers, and we wanted to do what we could to help educators take a breather. For the next several weeks we’ll be sharing samples from some of our audiobooks, and we hope that you’re able sit back, relax, and enjoy these read alouds.Today on the podcast, we have a sample from Colleen Cruz’s audiobook, Risk. Fail. Rise.: A Teacher’s Guide to Learning from Mistakes.In this excerpt, we hear Colleen read the first half of the essay, “Martyrs Make More Mistakes.” She writes how the sacrifices educators make not only depletes their personal energy and goals, but also increases the frequency of harmful mistakes made in the classroom.If you’d like to hear more, you can head over to our new audiobooks feed where you can browse our full catalogue and listen to more samples.
