The Teachers' Carpenter Podcast
The Teachers' Carpenter Podcast
Podcast Description
Welcome to The Teacher’s Carpenter, the podcast where real teachers, real stories, and real conversations take center stage. Each episode, host Chandler invites an educator or expert to the workbench to talk shop about the realities of teaching—the wins, the struggles, and the things we wish we had known sooner.
This is NOT another dry, academic discussion or a “how-to” for lesson planning. This is a behind-the-scenes look at teaching—the kind of conversation you’d have with your fellow educators after school, coffee in hand (or let’s be honest, something stronger on a Friday).
Each episode features a guest educator who picks the topic—no scripts, no fluff, just real talk about what matters in classrooms today. From literacy and engagement to surviving your first year or navigating teaching during a pandemic, The Teacher’s Carpenter builds on lived experiences, honest reflections, and the kind of insight you can only get from those who’ve been in the trenches.

Ever wonder what to do when a kid turns into a frog mid-lesson? Or pees during their bug presentation? Or starts drinking from a puddle like a puppy? In Episode 2 of The Teacher’s Carpenter, Kay and I dive into the things we wish we knew before becoming teachers—like how Halloween is cursed, why secret star students save lives, and that sometimes, the best classroom management strategy is… snacks.
Oh, and rule #1: Let them be a frog.
We talk relationships, real talk, and radishes. Come laugh with us. Come cry with us. Come question everything.
