How was school for you? What were you like as a student? How does that impact how you show up as a teacher? For Alex, it was a bit rough at points. That said, he would not trade the experiences he had as a student. They made him who he is and showed him what it feels like when a teacher believes in you. Those experiences give him real insight into the mind of students who struggle. This week, he's coming to you solo to talk about how being a bad student made him a good teacher!   Show Notes: Introduction (00:00) Elementary (2:48) Literal Bridge Building (5:24) Junior High (7:08) Compliments (9:50) High School (10:30) Panic Attacks (11:46)  Graduation (13:19)  Post Secondary (15:19) Hitting my stride (19:18) Becoming a teacher (21:01) My thank you note (23:08) Conclusion (23:44) Alex on Twitter: @MrAlexNoel Email the Podcast: hello@educrushpod.com Podcast on Twitter: @educrushpod Natalie on Twitter: @natabasso Podcast on Instagram: @educrushpod Podcast Website: www.educrushpod.com
