Twisted Teachers
What would you do if you weren't afraid? Jen and Kim are long-time friends who started the podcast from the perspective of two teachers and their experiences in education. The podcast has evolved through countless interviews with current and former educators as well as authors. You will still hear their teaching tips and stories, but you also will follow them on their journey through new chapters in their lives.
