Happy Teaching with CLASS Thursday!
Today, we are featuring an episode we shared on our sister podcast,
Impacting the Classroom, that we thought you would love!
TikTok influencers come from various backgrounds, but some of the popular influencers are teacher influencers. What are the responsibilities of teacher influencers, and what's their role in the current conversations about education?
In today's episode, we listen in as Marnetta Larrimer talks to Arielle, a teacher known on TikTok as Mrs. Frazzled, and Miss Redacted, a teacher influencer who left teaching. The two of them host a podcast together called Teacher Quit Talk. Listen to the episode to hear their thoughts about what's controversial on TikTok – it's not what you might expect – what the role of social media influencers is when it comes to their impact on diversity and equity, and what some of the inequities that occur in school are.
What did you find most surprising about this episode? Do you feel like you can relate to Teacher influencers?And as Kate shared in our intro, there are absolutely different types of teacher influencers. Who are some of your favorites and why?I can't wait to hear your thoughts!
Best,
Allison
