If you're a resolution kind of person, perhaps one teacher-y resolution you could make is participating in more professional development. What dedicated teacher doesn't want to develop professionally? However, PD takes time and is often done wrong so it leaves you bored and resentful.
The solution? Listen to education-related podcasts! Podcasts are great because you can listen to them while you're doing other tasks, like organizing your classroom, exercising, or commuting. They vary in length (10 minutes to over an hour) and how frequently each new episode comes out (every day to every few weeks).
I subscribe to several amazing podcasts, including the 10-Minute Teacher by Vicki Davis, House of EdTech by Chris Nesi, Out of School by Fraser Speirs and Bradley Chambers, and most recently Assist Learning by Jennifer Cronk. I listen to all of these podcasts either in the car on my commute or while running so I feel doubly productive!
The Education Podcast Network is a great place to start if you're looking for a certain type of educational podcast or just want to browse. I just use the Podcast app on my iPhone to access all of the shows I mentioned above.
Happy Listening in 2018!
