Schizophrenia is defined as a long-term mental disorder of a type involving a breakdown in the relation between thought, emotion, and behavior, leading to faulty perception, inappropriate feelings, withdrawal from reality and a sense of mental fragmentation. Even though this is a debilitating disorder for many, the definition alone is a representation of the highs and lows teachers face each day. Welcome to The Schizophrenic Teacher Podcast with teacher, professor, and instructional designer Tommy Renfro.
