  • Amazing! Can’t get enough!

    I started listening to this podcast towards the end of the school year and started from the first episode. I cannot get enough! (Up to episode 58 now) I have learned and gained so much knowledge from listening this summer and I am excited to go back to school with all these new tips and resources. If you are new (or even not) to BTC you NEED to listen to this podcast. Tammy and her guests are a wealth of knowledge and it will for sure take my thinking classroom to the next level. Thank you Tammy... more
