Description
Everything But The Lesson Plan Hosted by Franchesca Thompson
Teaching doesn’t begin and end with lesson plans — it lives in our stories, identities, communities, and the moments after the bell. Everything But The Lesson Plan is a podcast for educators who want more than curriculum — more connection, more healing, more justice, and more purpose.
Each week, we step beyond the textbook to talk about:
Cultivating equity, inclusion, and belonging in all school spaces — staff rooms, community partnerships
