If you use file folders, worksheets, competitions, or quieting techniques in your classroom, this episode is for you! And spoiler alert…. none of those are bad things! But the dialogue in this week’s episode of the This Teacher Life podcast will get you thinking differently about each of them. Here we dive into the 4 things every teacher should promise not to do—but let’s be real, we probably do them. This silly episode has special guests Jack Berckemeyer and Rachael McCoy to explore those unspoken habits, practices, and behaviors that sneak into our classrooms, despite our best intentions. Tune in for a candid conversation, insightful advice, and a little laughter as we unpack the everyday realities of teaching. Don’t miss out—this episode might just challenge the way you approach your classroom this year!
