Setting the Standard Podcast
Two award-winning middle school teachers. Over 50 years of combined experience. And yes—they still love their jobs.
Join these seasoned educators on Setting the Standard as they share the real, unfiltered stories from their decades in the classroom—the triumphs, the mistakes, and everything in between. With humor, heart, and a passion for helping students (and the adults who work with them), they bring a fresh, insightful perspective to education today.
Whether you’re an educator, parent, or just curious about what really goes on behind the classroom door, you’ll walk away with practical strategies on executive function, life lessons, and navigating the ever-changing world of middle school—with a few laughs along the way.
This is not just another education podcast. This is Setting the Standard—where experience meets inspiration.
