What Type of Teacher Are You? A Conversation with John Taylor

Episode Description:

In this episode of Educators With Oil, I sit down with John Taylor to break down the three types of teachers:

• The Academic Teacher – Focused on student achievement and high standards
• The Teacher/Student – Invested in the whole child’s well-being
• The June/July/August Teacher – Just trying to make it to summer

We discuss how these teacher types impact classroom effectiveness and how to strike a balance—caring about all three aspects: academic success, student well-being, and personal sustainability. Whether you lean heavily into one role or struggle to juggle them all, this conversation will help you evaluate your teaching approach and rediscover your purpose.

How does your teacher type affect your impact? How can you bring all three aspects together for a thriving classroom? Join the conversation and let’s find out!
