Empowered Teaching
101 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 3 years ago - ★★★★★ - 44 ratingsWelcome to Empowered Teaching. The podcast for teachers who are ready to embrace their imperfections, so that they can become their better selves in and out the classroom. To be empowered means to show up for yourself, and to consciously decide what you listen to, what advice you take and how you perform.
Empowered teaching is the kind of teaching that gives teachers the ability to recognize the power that already lives within them, so that they can show up for their students, and bring them to success by teaching in their own terms.
