Join hosts Amanda Cardenas (Mud & Ink Teaching) and Marie Morris (The Caffeinated Classroom) in discussions about being brave, trying new things, and all things teaching! As seasoned classroom teachers, Amanda and Marie bring their experience, insight, energy, and oh, so many opinions and ideas... It's time for all teachers to take their classroom and teaching practice into their own hands!
Amanda is a former teacher, mom, author, and plant-lady. After years of course work, international travel, mentorship, and classroom experience, she has arrived at a place in her career where she’s ready and excited to share her experiences with other teachers. Through BNT & Mud and Ink Teaching, her goal is to inspire, educate, and support other teachers in their curriculum design experience and help improve their practice in the classroom.
Marie is a teacher, mom, and coffee enthusiast... When she’s not teaching or with her own children, she is generally doing something related to teaching or education on YouTube, Instagram, or anywhere else! (OR she’s waist-deep in a YA fantasy novel series...) Through BNT and The Caffeinated Classroom, Marie shares the kinds of things she wishes she had when she was first starting out, and the things she needs to hear now as a veteran high school English teacher.
