This podcast pushed my thinking, and gave me insight I didn’t know I needed. 10/10, would recommend.

I just love Jilian Star. She’s so authentic, kind hearted, judgement free, and you know she’s in education for all the right reasons. I cried while listening to her infertility episode. Though I myself haven’t struggled with that, she really enlightened me on what my peers and friends maybe be...Read full review »

Jillian’s podcast has quickly become the highlight of my day. Not only is she knowledgeable, with new and thoughtful ideas that help me as a student teacher, but she has the most calming voice I have ever heard. Her podcast not only fills my cup with new ideas to try in the classroom and provides...Read full review »

I actually need to force myself to slow down and space out all of Jillian’s wonderful podcasts so that I can give each episode the reflection it deserves. I take notes during these podcasts and think of them as professional development. Jillian is WONDERFUL and honest and inspiring. She discusses...Read full review »

The guest you had in financial planning was just saying so many things that are not the best way to handle finances! As a listener of Dave Ramsey I was literally yelling “NO!!!” at half the things she said. Encouraging people to use credit cards for the “rewards” is a easy way for people to end...Read full review »

I highly enjoy the episodes that center around teaching practices, they are thoughtful and useful. I don’t particularly enjoy the victimization of minorities lense that she often takes. We can fend for ourselves, thank you.

I typed in “teaching” and this came up, I didn’t expect to be blown away but listened to every single episode after the first one. Jillian’s voice is a warm, cheerful hug with thoughtful advice on how we teach in our classrooms. Although she teaches primary and I teach 5th grade, so many of her...Read full review »

As a veteran teacher, 15 years and counting, I listened to Jillian’s podcast expecting to know much of what she was presenting. While it is true that I am not new to Jillian’s content, I still walk away with so many notes and ideas. This podcast is for any one in education, no matter how many...Read full review »

Jillian, thank you for all of the great material. It is all so relevant to today’s best practices in teaching and I really appreciate you telling your story as a child growing up with struggles that were not understood.

AwesomeMontana via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/24/19
I discovered this podcast just two days ago and have already listened to all but one of the episodes! Jillian delivers such important information in each installment.

This podcast is great! It’s informative without being condescending and is so clear and easy follow. While some ideas are ‘grab and run with it’ ideas, and others are ‘nice but not now’, almost everything is something I’d like to experiment with in my own classroom. Also as an added bonus, her...Read full review »

I’ve been a teacher for 19 years and I’m LOVING this podcast! It is packed with relevant, real world info and I’m taking something useful away from every episode. It’s definitely adding even more fuel to my passion for teaching!

I’m hooked on these podcasts- They are informative, thoughtful, and inspiring. I can’t wait for more.

My first experience with this podcast was episode 12 on educational trauma and trauma based learning. I was driving and once the episode was over I drove in silence to process it all and then I started thinking out my plans for back to school. There were things I hadn’t even thought about before...Read full review »

This podcast is amazing! The episode on classroom libraries is something all elementary teachers MUST listen to! I learned a lot and feel I can provide balance to my classroom this fall. Thanks Jillian!

I enjoy listening to Jillian and am inspired by the topics shared on the podcasts.
bigfandmb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/03/19
I really appreciate how Jillian’s podcast is rooted in research and her own expert experience. She offers practical tips guidance and explains the ‘why’ behind it.
SarahinHK via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/02/19
I’ve been following Jillian on TPT/IG for a few years, and have always been inspired by her classroom’s aesthetic, and the creative and well-thought out products she creates. This podcast is my favorite thing she’s done, though. Jillian is truly admirable in the way she thinks so deeply and...Read full review »

I only found this podcast today but I have already listened to 3 episodes back to back. I am already finding things I want to implement in my class this upcoming year. Take a listen if you want to expand and change yourself as a teacher!

Listening to this podcast is like getting Jillian as your mentor! As a new teacher, I really, really appreciate someone who tries new things and shares what’s worked and what hasn’t. You can really tell that Jillian wants to do what’s best for students, and that she puts their well-being and...Read full review »

I absolutely love Jillian’s podcast! I find it refreshing and it has lots of useful information. It helps one reflect on their own teaching practising and motives me to do better for my students! 😊
teachablemoments.can via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/26/19
I just listened to your podcast on classroom setup and I really appreciated your words. I am a teacher who likes to make it cute - I’m going to “marinate” on your words make changes in the way I begin my year.
kch3360 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/24/19
This podcast episode changed the way I will be decorating (or not decorating) tomorrow in my classroom. Jillian is relatable and makes content & new ideas easy to implement. Highly highly recommend!

I really enjoy your podcast . I’m on a journey to become an elementary school teacher . This is a good motivation.

So happy to have discovered this podcast this summer. It’s so much fun to listen and get my head back in the space of teaching and thinking about how I want to build my classroom going into a new school year. Thank you Jillian!

I aspire to be a classroom teacher one day, but oftentimes the prospect of creating my own classroom is really overwhelming.

I love listening to podcasts about every area of my life: parenting, keeping a household, even meal planning! However, I had never found a teaching podcast I liked until now.

I am absolutely loving Jillian Starr’s new podcast for teachers.

Only 2 episodes in and I love this podcast! Jillian’s first episode where she shares her own story and how she draws upon that to guide her own teaching practices really tugs at the heart strings. The second episode is a really honest look at using rewards and incentives in the classroom and...Read full review »
Meg @sparkles_and_pompoms via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/03/19
Jillian is so poignantly and unapologetically honest. I love learning from her experiences, opinions, and ideas. Her messages always inspire me to think more deeply and look more intently at my actions as a teacher. If you need to be inspired, give this podcast a listen! You won’t be disappointed!

Thank you for being so honest and raw! You opened my eyes to what it was like to be "little Jillian". "Little Amber" was quite different and school was usually very easy for me so it's sometimes difficult to relate to some of my struggling students. Your episode about rewards...Read full review »
@learngrowblossom via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/31/19
I am loving the classroom management podcast! I will not reward expected behavior in my classroom and others don’t like that. I do not like the pbis route that we are taking. Every month we are to give little bookbag tags for this and that. Attendance- if you are sick-stay home—but now you...Read full review »

This podcast makes you want to be bffs with Jillian and also makes you think about the choices we are making for ourselves as educators and for our students. The first episode had me teary, the second had me thinking, and the third had me reflecting. Can’t wait for the rest !

First off, just listening to Jillian’s voice is relaxing. She is so very passionate and isn’t shying away from hard topics. At the same time, she isn’t judgmental or harsh in anything she says. She makes you think and reflect and re-examine how and what you are doing for your students and...Read full review »

“Daring greatly means the courage to be vulnerable. It means to show up and be seen, to ask for what you need, to talk about what you’re feeling, to have the tough conversations.” After binge listening to all three of your episodes, this quote came to mind. Jillian, thank you for your...Read full review »

Totally happy to find this podcast. I love how this educator is transparent on how she was a struggling student who found a way through our educational system. I too teach with the eyes of students who struggle and would never change who I am!
Crykly via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/31/19
This episode, very eloquently, put into words so many things I think and feel about common behavior management practices. This episode really gets you to consider perspectives teachers may not have considered when finding ways to reward their students and the messages that are sent. This is...Read full review »
