Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today's guest is Linda Markley, a master teacher who has been immersed in education all her life.
Linda is the founder of The Spirit of Teaching blog, as well as the Teacher Tales podcast, which I was honored to be a guest on earlier this year.
Our conversation revolves around overall student wellbeing and the unique role that language teachers (can) play in the lives of our students. We delve into topics related to social-emotional learning, as well as Linda's speciality: mindfulness practices in the world language classroom.
This is a great episode to pick up not only some perspective about how far our impact as teachers can go, but also to grab some very specific tricks and activities that you can incorporate right away into your lessons.
