We’ve already shared our favorite conversations of 2022, but Teachers’ Lounge is even more the interviews we have with educators you nominate! A big part of the show is the education stories you hear every episode.
And when we ask you for nominations – we also always ask for you to send story ideas to teacherslounge@niu.edu. And you do! You’ve sent in topics and stories, things happening in your school or maybe your child’s school that you think people should know about. We’ve covered a lot of those story ideas here on the show!
So, today we’re going to revisit a few of the stories from Teachers’ Lounge that stuck out to us in 2022.
It’s just a quick episode to tie you over until the New Year. Next week, in 2023, we will be back with a brand-new episode of Teachers’ Lounge!
