Hot Mess Teacher Express Podcast
Comedy:Comedy Interviews
The Student Engagement conundrum, Hop aboard the Hot Mess Teacher Express, the podcast that celebrates every color of the classroom rainbow, from the perfectly organized to the beautifully chaotic! I'm your host Jess Smith, ready to embark on a thought-provoking journey through the wild world of education.
This week, we're tackling a question that's been keeping educators up at night: Do students actually care about learning anymore? It's a complex issue, with technology at the forefront. In an era where students can Google their way through life, are we witnessing a decline in genuine curiosity and classroom engagement?
I'll delve into the brighter side of tech, exploring how it can actually broaden horizons and foster connections in ways traditional methods never could. It's a double-edged sword, and I'm here to dissect both sides.
Beyond the pixels and screens, there's another elephant in the room: standardized testing. Are we putting too much pressure on young minds, turning what should be a journey of discovery into a high-stakes game of numbers and labels?
Drawing from my own adventures as an educator and a mom, I'll share insights and stories about nurturing that spark of curiosity and passion for learning amidst the tech, tests, and tumult of modern education.
So, tune in to this episode of Hot Mess Teacher Express. It's a journey of discovery, debate, and, as always, a dash of hot mess. Don't miss it!
