  • A touchstone for my second career journey

    I started listening a couple of years ago. Now as I shift into my second career of ELA/social studies secondary education, this podcast has kept me motivated, offered knowledge, and sometimes the reminder to have fun and laugh at my mistakes! Thank you Marie and Amanda for your guidance, knowledge and laughter!

  • Too many plugs

    I used to really like this show and I even shared one of the workshops offered to my principal for our English department. However, now it’s not worth the time listening because every episode feels like a tease, purchase more to get the information. I think these two ladies have so much to offer. But as we all know, after spending money on supplies, lessons,etc. it’s just too much.

    These ladies care so passionately about helping teachers! Their discussions and banter give me time to focus on what matters in class, drill down to what is and is not working in my class, and reimagine new ways to reach my students! Thank you both so much!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TJ KLUNE: A Conversation about The House in the Cerulean Sea [Ep 269]
Q: What sorts of questions or even just like thematic threads do you see being really fruitful for students who are reading, maybe specifically, The House in the Cerulean Sea?
Absolutely. The idea of found family is pivotal, as so many queer people create their own families after facing rejection. It also explores the power of community and how united efforts can enact change.
LIBBA BRAY: A Conversation about Under the Same Stars [Ep 267]
Q: Can you give your Under the Same Stars elevator pitch?
It's a multi-generational story linked by the mystery of three teens who disappeared during World War II, set in multiple timelines.
LIBBA BRAY: A Conversation about Under the Same Stars [Ep 267]
Q: What advice would you give to teachers about writing instruction?
Cultivate readers through diverse materials, emphasizing that you can't write if you're not reading.
HUDA FAHMY: A Conversation about Huda F Cares? [Ep 268]
Q: What advice would you give to teachers of future writers?
Create a judgment-free writing zone for kids and let them know that authors go through many edits. Their ideas can be expressed in various formats without the need for perfection.
KATIE BAYERL: A Conversation about What Comes After [Ep 266]
Q: What do you hope readers walk away with after reading your book?
A sense that healing is possible, and kindness toward others.
