In episode 134 of the Lecture Breakers podcast, I'm wrapping up season 4 and looking ahead to what's next! As I reflect on the podcast, especially since 2020 disrupted everything, I noticed the way we talk about teaching students has changed (hopefully forever).

In this episode, I share 5 observations I've noticed about teaching that might give us a new way to look at faculty development. And along the way, I share how my new Your Teaching Coach program aligns with these ideas. Get the show notes:
