“I’ve been a major fan of Angela Watson for at least 9 years now. When I was in my 12th year of teaching, I became an alumni of the 40 hour teacher work week. I return to Angela’s systems and resources time and time again, but I listen for her blend of pragmatic solutions and candor (I LOVE when she speaks from the heart, the authenticity resonates!).
We’ve listened to her podcasts for Dept staff PD, and I use the the “it won’t be easy, it’ll be worth it” mantra with my AP Spanish students. Her and her team’s podcast helped me maintain my sanity through distance teaching, and while our school transitioned to a block schedule. The content always evolves and reflects what her community asks for more of, and offers new ideas and voices in education worth listening to.
Angela and her contributors acknowledge the challenges of public education, offer strategies, and eschew toxic positivity, with areas of inclusion of all teachers in all contexts. This podcast and its balance of support for teacher-guilt or burnout, mindfulness/mindset tools with optimism and advocacy is a must. Thank you for all you make available!!”
