Description

Yes, it feels good to be viewed as a rockstar, superhero teacher. But the image of the super teacher can create unrealistic and ultimately harmful expectations. Join us for a look at why we need to shatter the myth of the superhero teacher for our wellbeing and the betterment of our students.

Roxanna Elden’s teacher advice book, See Me After Class: Advice for Teachers by Teachers, has long been a staple in many school districts and training programs. Her recently released novel, Adequate Yearly Progress, follows several teachers as their professional lives impact their personal lives and vice versa. (Washington Post calls it “a funny but insightful look at teachers in the workplace… reminiscent of the TV show The Office, but set in an urban high school.”)

Teachers Aid is new for 2018 with Mandy Froehlich and Jon Harper. We've refocused the show on meeting some of the biggest unmet needs every educator has. If you are an educator who gives teaching your all, but still feels that you're not doing enough, this show is for you. Tune in to get social and emotional support for the very personal challenges teachers face. We promise you that you won't hear educators talking like this every day.
