CAN Teach an Old Dog New Tricks

“I just stumbled across your podcast two months ago when, in desperation (due to the fact that I had been handed a dual-credit American literature class because the teacher left mid-year) I began scouring the Internet for resources. My first year of teaching was way back in 1997-98. I came into the profession with the understanding that I was merely to assess whether students had read the assigned novel and could write decently. Over the last two months, my understanding of what it means to be a teacher, what it means to encourage thought and learning has completely exploded thanks to your podcast. I have overhauled not only the dual-credit American lit curriculum, but I am now also overhauling the 10th grade ELA curriculum (what I’ve been teaching for the last eight years). Essential questions, Sesame Street quizzes, close reads are showing up in all their blazing glory. Supplemental text? Yes, please! Honestly, I’m a little bit addicted. In your podcast about supplemental texts you gave a ton of resources, but then you also said that the supplemental texts would come to you as you just lived your life. This morning, as I was working out and listening to Hamilton, I thought, “ ‘My Shot’ would be an amazing supplemental text as I teach Great Gatsby with the EQ “Is the American Dream more likely to inspire or destroy?’ “ AAUUGGHH! I can’t wait to add that in!
You both have breathed fresh life into a profession that I have loved for decades, but now holds even more joy and excitement for me and my students. THANK YOU!”

“It’s so refreshing to hear other teachers nerd out about reading! I love to also hear fresh new ideas on using pieces of text/novels. Follow them on instagram too!”

“Amanda and Marie make teaching so refreshing. They are so inspiring and relatable to all HS English teachers. They inspire me to try new things and be the best teacher for my students. As a young teacher, I feel so encouraged listening to them.”
