Two good stories from the classroom

With Teacher Appreciation Week forthcoming, today’s episode is very simple in its concept: sharing one good story from the classroom that is really two good stories—along with a reflection on why these stories mattered. A core belief with this Broken Copier project continues to be the importance of sharing and uplifting the good stories in our classrooms and schools. Given that, here’s an invitation: what is a good story from your school year? Seriously—if you have a story you’d be willing to share, go for it! Here are three ways: * As always, feel free to share in the comments! * If you want, you can also head over to Edutopia’s new Teacher2Teacher page , where I’ve posted the same invitation. * Or, if you’re open to leaving it in audio form, I’d definitely love to include it in a future episode! Here is a link where you can do just that. Thanks, as always, to Alberto Lugo, one of Jim’s former students, for writing and recording original intro music; and Tom Csatari for allowing us to use his band’s recording of “Woodstock” from their 2020 album, Garden . * Find Tom’s work at uncivilizedtom.com , and on Instagram @banduncivilized. * Find Alberto’s work at djsynchro.weebly.com , and on Instagram @djsynchro. You can email us here with feedback or any other questions as well: thebrokencopier@substack.com . This is a public episode.
