My Classroom Podcast: Moving Forward

My Classroom is a short NGPF podcast series devoted to supporting the efforts of teachers. Each week we will speak with different teachers who will share timely tips, resources, and teaching strategies that can be implemented immediately into the classroom.

The message is clear. Teachers are relieved to be returning to normal next fall, but what will change from years past? We felt there was no better time for our listeners to hear from the original My Classroom cast of four than as the school year comes to a close. We welcome Tony Montgomery, Kerri Herrild, Julius Prezelski, and Courtney Poquette who will share how they're moving forward with resources and strategies learned during COVID and how these strategies make their classrooms better for many years to come.
