COME TEACH IT
Come Teach It is a show about the rewarding and fulfilling experiences of the teaching lifestyle. We hope it serves as a vehicle to spread positive messages about the field of education, which too often suffers from purely negative PR. We are talking to people who embody the teaching lifestyle and have stories of success in a profession they are passionate about. This podcast looks to pay homage to the art and science of the teaching craft by talking to people of various industries who have taken the time to reflect on it.
