Lessons That Last
A teacher and a researcher talk about what it means to make a lasting impact on students' lives. Through stories people share about the teachers they remember, each episode explores what teachers say and do that sticks with students for years (maybe even decades). Using great teachers as models, we can all make a bigger impact on the people in our lives. New episodes are released every Sunday.

Lessons That Last
Love, Letters, and Being Extra
How do you help the people you teach, lead, and love feel seen? In this episode, Julie and Laura talk about the power of a thoughtful letter of recommendation. They discuss the way honest feedback can impact a student's life. Ava's story about Mr. Luis is the focus of the episode, and it's a beautiful reminder that we don't always get to see the impact of our actions. If you've been wondering whether your hard work makes a difference, this episode gives you evidence that it does.
You can find Ava's story (and all the stories we share on the pod) in the Lessons That Last book, It's available at your favorite bookseller. Check it out on Amazon here: https://bit.ly/3OiZr38
