You’re a teacher.  And being a teacher is more than a profession.  It’s a lifestyle. We created The Teacher Learning Sessions to fit the needs and lifestyle of teachers like you. Where teachers like you learn from conversations with leading authors and thinkers in the world of education. They share observations, ideas, and suggestions on professional development that you can bring into your teaching practice right away. Re:Teaching is hosted by Kevin Carlson, founder of The Teacher Learning Sessions. Re:Teaching provides professional development for teachers through conversations with leading authors, experts and thinkers in the world of education. Re:Teaching is part of the Teacher Learning Sessions podcast network and teacherlearningsessions.com, where teachers can learn and supplement their professional development through a blog, podcasts, and an on-line community.

Guests share their expertise, observations, ideas, and suggestions on professional development that teachers like you can bring into your teaching practice right away. Each week on this podcast, host Kevin Carlson sits with an expert educator, and as a listener, you’ll have a chair at that table to hear their thinking about their work and their thinking on a certain topic.
