Episode Five with Mr. Andrew Telander

50m · #WeAreMCUSD Teacher Podcast · 20 Oct 16:12

Welcome to the fifth episode of the Meridian 223 Podcast, made by teachers, for teachers. Our goal is to provide information for teachers as well as to interview teachers in our District with the intent of sharing exciting activities that are going on in our District classroom.

In our fifth podcast, we mean to accomplish a couple of goals today. First, we will be speaking with Mr. Andrew Telander from Stillman Valley High School. Andy teaches PE and Health at Stillman Valley High School. Andy was also our head Boys Basketball coach for his first two years at SVHS and did an excellent job. With that in mind, we will be discussing how hybrid learning has impacted and rocked his teaching world. Second, Ryan and Cathie will be sharing with all of you some tips on some apps that you might want to try out as digital tools for getting to know your students at the start of the year.
