EP #9 - Future Teaching

In this episode the guys talk about Future Teaching. The conversation was sparked by a tweet that Chris put out a few weeks ago. He tweeted the link to an article entitled "10 Disruptions that will Revolutionize Education" and asked his followers for their thoughts. You can find the article at https://goo.gl/qFTEMr. Near the end of the podcast Chris and Rolland talk about the teacher performance appraisal and then shut things down for this episode.

EP #2 - The First Week of School

Chris and Rolland reflect on their first week of school. It turns out that teachers are more than teachers, there are many layers to the student-teacher-parent relationship, and some baseball talk. The guys would love to hear from you (edudecoded@gmail.com) about what community events you attend (if you are a teacher) to see your students in another light. If you are a parent, how would you feel if your child's teacher wanted to attend one of their extra curricular activities?
