Seems as though feeling overwhelmed has become a trademark of the teaching profession. And confusion? Why do our students do what they do (or not do what they don’t do)? So much that happens in classrooms these days doesn’t make sense! In this episode, two teachers do make sense of their feelings of overwhelmedness and confusion. We talk about* imagination in teaching and learning* the importance of emotional and relational data* creative solutions to overwhelming and confusing problems* the importance — and ways — of digging up assumptions* how to turn from worrying to working with your emotionsWhat overwhelms you? What confuses you? I’d love to hear! Just click Share a Story on the TTE home page and describe your experience. It’s completely confidential. I’ll get back to you, and maybe we can work out your own creative solution!Teaching through Emotions is a reader-supported publication.

Teaching through Emotions is a Women Who Podcast award-winning podcast that provides a rare form of relief for educators. Rare because it looks at bad feelings and bad behavior as *meaningful* and *useful*. We share stories of real-life terrible teaching moments, sprinkled with commentary and a ton of empathy, then show you how to transform those moments into happy endings. You also get to hear interviews with remarkable people about their unique takes on education.
