We knew it was going to happen even if we couldn’t imagine it: The school year is coming to an end. And so is Season 3 of Teaching through Emotions.
Huzzah! Congratulations to all for making it through another crazy year!
Speaking of crazy years: In this episode, Joe and I review some of this year’s craziness. We share some facts and lots of strong personal opinions about them. And we invite you to weigh in! What did we get wrong? What was crazy for you this year? What are you looking forward to this summer? How are you going to rejuvenate before the new school year begins? We’d love to hear from you!

Joe does talk about furries and litter boxes in schools (as he mentions) in this TTE episode: The Meowing Student: Understanding weird behavior in the classroom.
Here’s the book I taught that has a conservative take on school reform in our country: Left Back: A Century of Battles over School Reform by Diane Ravitch (who has since flipped to the progressive side).
Joe’s favorite episode: To Care or To Detach?: Finding the emotional balance in teaching
