In this first episode of the second season of Teaching through Emotions, my co-host Joe and I tell a story about a cheater in a class taught by someone who can’t stand cheating. Our psychodynamic take on the story might surprise you.* We retell the outrageous lengths our cheater went to.* We share the teacher’s visceral responses to the cheater.* We wonder where the cheater’s True Self is.* We clarify what the teacher’s contributions are and how she can change them.* We tell how the story ended after the teacher did some emotion work on the problem.* We suggest axioms teachers can take away from this example.Have you had a similar experience?

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.
