Hello everyone! It is my absolute pleasure to bring you one of my favorite people in the world, Nicole Marte, otherwise known as @MarteintheMiddle on Instagram. In this episode, we dive into why we both LOVE middle school so much, the magic of teaching 6th grade, and why relationships at this critical age are so extremely important. We also spend a healthy amount of time praising how teaching science is an amazing experience. A lot of personal anecdotes in this one, both from Nicole and I, and just a lot of pure fun. This is one of those great episodes of the podcast where we just talked and enjoyed our mutual love of teaching. Come and listen along and laugh with us! Enjoy! Support the podcast by checking out my new book, Teach Me, Teacher - Life Lessons that Taught Me How to Be a Better Teacher.
