Tea Time with A Teacher

This week's episode is Part 1 of a TWO Part Tea Time! I interview Kelsie, an amazing HS History teacher in New Hampshire and also co-hosts a podcast called Remedial HERstory (Find it: http://www.remedialherstory.com/). In this episode, we discuss how the way we teach history excludes women, the ways in which teachers can change the way students think of history, and how to facilitate discussions with students to not tell them to think a certain way, but empower them to develop skills for future discussions in their communities.

“How do I get all my students, especially the quiet students, to share out and feel comfortable in class?” 

This is a question we as teachers have all the time. Who better to bring on that an award winning middle school writer, Margot! Margot Kleinpeter is twelve years old and attends Kamiakin Middle School, in Kirkland, Washington. Her original short story, Butterflies, recently won Outstanding Interpretation in the literature category for her school district’s Reflections competition. In her story, she talks about the butterflies students get when teachers use cold calling and defer to the louder students. In this episode, she gives advice to teachers on how to make sure all students feel heard and valued.
