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
Humor, Energy, and Awkward Authenticity
Students walk into classrooms on the first day hoping to like their teachers and have a little fun. In this episode, Julie and Laura talk about the power of being authentically you from day one. Cedrick's story about Mr. Colson is the focus of the episode, and it highlights the power of connecting with humor. If you've been thinking about connecting with students in those awkward middle years, this episode is for you!
You can find Cedrick'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
