  • Lifeline!

    I stumbled upon this podcast last summer AFTER drowning in my first year of kindergarten the year before. If only I would have found it sooner! I have learned SO MUCH from Zeba since then. I eat up everything that’s put out there, especially PD by the Pool and the recorded workshops on TPT. I can’t recommend this podcast enough for all new kindergarten teachers as well as those teachers who want a peek into a well run kindergarten room for some additional inspiration!

  • 2nd grade teacher

    As a former 2nd grade teacher that is looking for a Kindergarten teacher position, I am loving Zeba’s podcast! I found her via Instagram and I love how short and sweet most of her podcast episodes are! She is a master at her craft who gets to the point of each episode and thoroughly explains everything. I love listening and look forward to hearing all of her tips and tricks!
