As a former secondary English teacher and current librarian, these ladies are real and authentic. I love the practical ideas they have and a true love of teaching. I always get ideas from their episodes. 💕
Apple Podcasts5MrsEJewellUnited States2 years ago - 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!
