Life Changing
The 2020-2021 school year just about did me in. My family didn’t realize it, but I was seriously contemplating leaving the profession - I just didn’t know what else I was going to do. The last place I wanted to be in August of 2021 was back at school. And then we had PD with Monica Genta. If I’m being 100% honest, when I saw we had a two hour PD session, I groaned and thought, “Well, I’m just going to bring my laptop and actually get something productive accomplished because I know this is going to be a complete waste of time.” Oh, how wrong I was. My school had actually brought in some worthwhile PD. That morning I realized something. You see, I was going to have my daughter in class that year. And I thought, “My daughter deserves a better teacher than what I’ve become. And if I don’t think I’m good enough for my daughter, I’m definitely not good enough for the rest of these kids.” So I took that time before students came, and I read Monica’s books. I listened to old podcasts. I completely transformed my thinking and revamped my game. And I fell back in love with teaching. Thank you, Monica, for being a game changer for students and for teachers.

Monica presented at the MSTA conference I attended. I immediately recognized her from Tik Tok. I’m loving her podcasts. It’s down to earth advice delivered in an inviting way! Please keep making content!

To say that this podcast is one of the best gifts you can give yourself is a true understatement. Monica seems to hone in on the feelings we are all having as educators in todays world in a real way all the while keeping the focus on the most important thing in our class families- our students!...Read full review »

Every teacher needs this podcast. I’m a little late to the podcast game, but This Teacher Life is everything I need each week to get excited about Monday. Monica is so hilarious and so real.
