  • Love the teachers (and the podcast)!

    I loved episode 87! I truly appreciate it how Casey talked about the use of standardized testing with students, having boys that never do well on them, but are really good students make standardized testing a difficult one for me and I appreciated his take. I also loved Brian‘s take on focusing on the teachers And by doing that it will improve the environment for the students. My Takeaway, I’m heading off to email a teacher that I appreciate.
