S7 Episode 12: Dear Me: A Letter to My Beginner Teacher Self
Inspired by Jamie Festa-Daigle’s blog post last September on Stories from Schools AZ, this episode of 3Ps in a Pod features four Arizona teachers reading aloud letters to their first-year teacher selves.
What do you wish then? 3Ps hosts Donnie and Danielle share what they wish they knew as they were just starting their education careers. Then, these four teachers share their letters:
- Jamie Festa-Daigle, NBCT, Lake Havasu City Unified School District
- Maria Fallon, NBCT, Marana Unified District
- Sandy Merz, NBCT, Catalina Foothills School District
- James King, Glendale Union High School District

Being an educator in the 21st century is indescribably complex. There’s a constant pressure to meet standards and help students achieve, but there’s also a need to allow learners to color outside the lines in an effort to prompt creativity. To support educators along the continuum, the Center developed “3Ps in a Pod” to further dissect practice, policy, and passion in the field of education.
