Making the Grade Podcast
Making the Grade is an education podcast for current & former teachers to share notes, define success & assess their own happiness in the classroom and beyond. Throughout history in the US, teaching has been an essential profession that supports the next generation. However, as the world continues to evolve, the education system seems to be years behind in many ways.
“Making the Grade” explores the metrics of success in the modern-day classroom with current and former educators. We dive into the challenging circumstances teachers face, & the unrealistic standards that many feel they need to live up to in order to thrive.
Schools are now seeing alarming shortages where jobs used to be highly competitive. Why are teachers leaving the field at an unprecedented rate? How has our view of teachers changed over time? What do educators in the field want us to know about their hopes, hardships & dreams?
The problems in education may seem endless, but so are the possibilities. Listen, laugh, and leave our episodes empowered to define your own success as an educator & an individual. Be sure to leave us a review & subscribe if you like what you hear!

Marketing & Sales for Edupreneurs: a Conversation with Consultant, Christina Welty
EP 013 | Marketing & Sales for Edupreneurs: a Conversation with Consultant, Christina Welty
When teachers get used to signing a contract each year, it’s no surprise that pricing services is an area where educators need support. Georgia & Christine speak with Christina, an education consultant and former teacher / administrator from Texas. A self-described “edupreneur”, Christina has transitioned out of her roles in the classroom and now works in many different roles as a consultant. She is still serving the education community through her consulting business, Hart for Children, & specializes in helping educators “see their worth”.
After seeing the inequities in 2 different schools in the same zip code, Christina was inspired to apply for Teach for America to work with underserved communities. This episode covers how to market yourself as an educator making sales, why she thinks teachers have trouble seeing their worth, and how to take a safe risk.
Christina is passionate about the arts, pouring into teachers to serve students, & creating systemic change for educators. Her encouragement will leave you feeling inspired to put yourself out there - and to price yourself accordingly!
