A Teacher and a Mentor

In this episode we get to discuss with Clay McElheny, an inspiring and passionate teacher that was my chemistry and physics teacher in high school. We discuss his education and career as a teacher and the importance of continually adapting and tailoring the lessons for the current students. We also discuss his less than traditional role as head of the engineering courses at his high school and how the entire format of traditional school could be at a pivot point where teachers can develop a more applicable style of learning. We talk about the rewarding aspects of teaching as well as the frustrating components. He also gives valuable advice for young teachers during interviews and the importance of being more upfront and assertive with their teaching goals. Once again, I hope you found this episode especially informative if you are considering a career in teaching. Feel free to reach out to us at kwcpodcasts@gmail.com or on our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/kwcpodcasts I would really like to see the facebook page post for this particular episode filled with "Go Mac!" comments on the kwcpodcast page for my favorite teacher.

I also specifically would like to know if you would like any follow-up episode with any particular guests or if you would be interested in hearing a panel discussion on the education system. Also, I encourage our listeners who are interested to check out what his classroom in doing on Twitter: https://twitter.com/clay_mcelheny?s=09&fbclid=IwAR3fotDyZw0U_uCtKjs-1kxN9TlNYPmiZRuZPIo96WBfilsts_FEvdHald8
