Description

Teach Smarter is a podcast for educators who are tired of initiatives that don't stick and PD that doesn't translate. Hosted by former classroom teachers Stephanie Dinnen and Peter Siner, each episode digs into the real challenges of teaching, coaching, and leading schools, from instructional practice to the tools and technology worth your time. The name says it all: work smarter without losing sight of what actually works in real classrooms.
