Hello, and welcome to Episode 151 of the Planning Period Podcast, part of the OnPodcastMedia Network. I’m your host, Brad Shreffler.
This week on the show I am joined by Alexis Wiggins. Alexis is a high school English Teacher, former instructional coach, and author of “The Best Class You Never Taught.” Former guest Craig Randall connected us and said that Alexis would make a great guest, so I invited her on.
Alexis and I talk about her experience dealing with her father, Grant Wiggins’ legacy, her experiences teaching and living all over the world, the struggles of living and teaching in the post-fact era, how the US Education funding model by nature creates inequities that never stop, the value of teaching film, and how a great teacher will drive your curiosity.
So, sit back and enjoy Episode 151 of the Planning Period Podcast, my interview with Alexis Wiggins.
