Hello, and welcome to Episode 134 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 Jeff Gargas. Jeff is the COO and one of the co-founders of the Teach Better Team. The team is dedicated to helping teachers, schools, and districts get better every day. He’s also the co-host of the Teach Better Talk podcast, which I am a big fan of and a former guest on. With all the awesome he’s doing, I had to have him join me on the show.
Jeff and I talk about the Teach Better Team and their work, the problems caused by nostalgia and “that’s the way it’s always been done”, why you don’t need to be the smartest person in the room, and how sometimes you’re the best teacher for yourself.
So, sit back and enjoy Episode 134 of the Planning Period Podcast, my interview with Jeff Gargas.
