  • Everything BTC!!!

    Maegan and Kyle are amazing!!! I had the privilege of meeting both Maegan and Kyle at the BTC conference 2024! Just like on the podcast they are dynamic, caring and relevant! As an 8th grade Math teacher that just started implementing BTC (Jan 2024), I appreciate these chapter recaps as a tool to reinforce my understanding of the toolkits. Thanks Maegan and Kyle!!!

  • Good Information

    After attending the BTCC conference and reading the book, this has been a great resource to help prepare for a new school year. I do think there are times when I am listening, that I struggle because the hosts will start talking SUPER fast. I noticed this a lot in the episode on notes. For a second, I thought it was put on some type of fast forward mode.

  • I'm finding this podcast to be very helpful. After my first year of BTC, I am better able to process the practices and refine my implementation for next year. It's a fantastic supplement to the book. :)
