Teachers Aid

We all know that teaching is more demanding than ever, and we rise every day giving all we have to the challenge. But if you ever feel like you are not good enough to do all that is expected of you, this is the episode you'll want to hear.

Self-doubt is more pervasive in education than we admit. We close our classroom doors, do the best we can, but often quietly question ourselves on many levels. In this segment, a teacher, a principal, and an educator turned consultant talk about how they keep self-doubt, from limiting them. Follow @PeterMDeWitt @froehlichm @ jonHarper70bd @bamradionetwork.

Do you spend the day surrounded by students and peers yet feel lonely? You're not alone. Many teachers feel the same way you do. No, it's not just a new teachers. It's not just innovative teachers. It's not just veteran teachers. Follow @froehlichm @forthekiddoes @ jonHarper70bd @bamradionetwork Dr. Valerie King is a teacher of gifted and advanced "Littles" in metro Atlanta.

It's a new year, and Teachers Aid is rolling out a new format. We've refocused show on meeting some of the biggest unmet needs every educator has. If you are an educator who gives teaching your all, but still feels that you're not doing enough, this show is for you. Tune in; we promise you that you won't hear teachers talking like this every day.
