As season 7 comes to a close, we look back on where it all started. Take a trip with me down memory lane to the first ever episode of Teach Me, Teacher and see how it began, so we can move forward in the coming weeks. Below is the original blurb for the episode. Enjoy.
Hello everyone! Welcome to the first ever episode of Teach Me, Teacher! I’m super excited to let everyone hear the great interview I had with my colleague, Ms. Katie Ingram (now Mrs. Warren… YAY!) of Richland Middle School.
In this episode, we attempt to debunk a lot of the myths about teaching (both as a first year and seasoned vet), and talk a little bit about why this is important to do as professionals in our field.
From there, we dive into Katie’s experience from her humble beginnings as a college student, all the way through her first year, highlighting successes and struggles along the way.
This is a great episode for any teacher, new or old. It doesn’t matter if you are excited to start a new year, or are feeling a little burnt out, this conversation is sure to lift those spirits.
See you in the classroom!
Enjoy!

In this episode, Jacob and Pam take a look at ChatGPT and try out some lesson ideas. Jacob queries Pam on how she used it to create the last episode’s blurb. They each compare it to the future of writing instruction.
Pam shares a lesson idea using subject-verb agreement with ChatGPT. Jacob then leads an analysis discussion regarding the lesson and how it could be changed. Jacob then shares a lesson idea about teaching text structures and how they are used for the author’s purpose. Jacob and Pam go through the lesson created by ChatGPT and illustrate how teachers could use this tool to help with their professional dialogues.
