We're Amanda & Maire

The co-hosts of the Brave New Teaching Podcast & co-creators of this workshop.

We've been teaching for over 30 years combined, and with that experience, we know exactly what NOT to do. We've failed plenty of times, and from all of those mistakes, we've learned how to carefully adjust and align our curriculum design to best:

  • meet students where they are

  • engage our students

  • teach basic AND challenging skills

  • align instruction with assessment

  • de-center texts and center inquiry
