The Thoughtful Teacher podcast shares the stories of educators who have implemented innovative or creative solutions within their space.

We introduce listeners to school-based educators, thinkers, and researchers who have powerful ideas and innovations that makes teaching and learning more meaningful for your students. We also occasionally offer commentary on practice and policy to help navigate the complexity of our profession.
