Our hosts Gabe Dannenbring, Bri Richardson, and Anna Kowal know that better than anyone, and they're going to be sharing the worst things their fellow teachers do that drive the rest of the school crazy.  We all know that teachers are a unique breed, and sometimes their quirks can make things a bit… interesting. For example Bri shares a hilarious tale about a teacher who always insists on wearing a different themed outfit for each day of the week. While some may roll their eyes, tune in to find out Bri’s optimistic point of view on this situation. But it's not all quirks and icks, our hosts also discuss the delightful surprises their fellow teachers bring to the table.

Through Parent Teacher conferences,and surprise admin visits, it’s easy to lose track of all that, however this week our hosts Gabe Dannenbring, Anna Kowal, and Bri Richardson will be reminding you why we all became teachers in the first place.  Sometimes it's about the little things, small gestures that our students do that remind us that our hard work is appreciated. Bri reminisces how much a simple heartfelt compliment from a student can mean to her and how much it brightens up her entire day.  Now while we all appreciate the small things in life, sometimes it's really about those life changing revelations. As educators, our main goal is, and you’d never believe… is to educate. So we're excited to share our favorite moments of witnessing our students' transformations and those powerful "aha" moments.   Jump Right To It! 2:45 Teaching Triumphs Revealed 8:30 Classroom Confessions 15:00 Laughter in Learning 20:30 Student Stories That Inspire 26:50 Embracing Educational Challenges 35:10 Heartfelt Teaching Moments   So if you need a bit of an emotional pick me up, then tune into this week's episode of Teachers Off Duty.  Teachers get your perks!!

Our hosts Bri Richardson, Gabe Dannenbring, and Anna Kowal have been through a countless amount of Halloween shenanigans in their times as teachers, so this week they're going to be sharing their most hilariously spooky classroom stories. When people dress up for halloween, they normally want to be a marvel character, a police officer, or something along those lines, however our hosts had a few different ideas. We'll never forget how one year Gabe decided to go as the green M&M, and let's just say it didn't go over well.  As adults we are not exactly that scared of Freddy Kruger or Jason Voorhees, however there are plenty of things that terrify us in our daily lives.
