After years of trying to make math workshop work in my classroom….Jamie has given me a common sense system that I am so excited to implement this fall! If you want to work in small groups with your students (who doesn’t?) but don’t think you have the time or are overwhelmed at the very idea of centers, or think it will be making multiple lessons plans for one math block, you have to give this a listen! She faces those obstacles and provides you with tons of resources to get you way down the road in your prep. She pretty much has invented the wheel…you just have to pull the wagon. Thanks, Jamie!

Jamie is THE BEST!!! Always trying to bring us useful & practical teacher tips.

I just listened to my first podcast and I loved it!! So many great tips. I can’t wait to listen to more!!

Love listening to your tips and tricks. I love how honest and real you are.

As a first year teacher I am always looking for inspiring content like this to listen on my commute to work.

You don’t just provide the tools but also the practical ways to implement and use these ideas within a classroom. Even if I can’t attend live- the recorded version is always readily available. Thank you! It’s always time well spent.

As a busy teacher, there is not always time to read newsletters, blogs, and other articles for helpful tips. Listening to this podcast is a convenient way to get those tips and tricks!!

It’s so nice to have some easy to access professional development during this tough time. I’m a first year teacher and I so appreciate all your guidance!

The NSWT podcast is very encouraging and motivating! She is THE teacher everyone wants next door! Jamie offers simple, fun, and realistic ideas for teaching and managing your classroom. She offers tips on how to make a teacher’s life easier and the classroom more fun! Thank you for sharing!

Everything that Jamie shares is so great!

Jamie has great ideas. They are relevant and thoughtful. Thanks for the encouragement and advice!

The Not So Wimpy Team offers great content with practical advice on so many topics relevant to the classroom! I love how encouraging Jamie is and how passionate she is to share her knowledge and tap into the knowledge of others as well. Definitely worth your time.

This podcast has very helpful tips, and very great ideas that make my life easier! Jaime and the NSWT is so helpful all year round! I also listen to the NSW entrepreneur podcast. I don’t have a TpT store, but aiming to start one very soon with the very encouraging words and tips from Jaime. Thank you for everything you and your team does!

I love being able to listen in my car! She has so many helpful tips and advice, especially on writing.

Listening to this over the summer before I started my first year of teaching has been a lifesaver. It helps me feel like I have a plan to get things done. Writing units on TPT have been amazing the kids love them they’re easy to use, everything I need is already there.

I love all the teacher ideas and resources you provide for teachers!

Thank you! I 100% agree with the balance of using choice and prompts.

If you love her resources you will love this podcast. Her activities are enriching and playful and so is her podcast. She is so easy to listen to because she hits on things every teacher feels and questions. This podcast has me putting a fresh mindset to my classroom activities and how I do things in my classroom.

Great way to start January. A little reminder of things to make this a great year for writing.

I run out of time to read every newsletter, FB post and email so I really appreciate the podcast! Thanks for being joyful and giving us a silver lining! Thank you for the writing prompts!

I always leave from your podcast with new innovative ideas that help push me to be a better teacher. Your resources have really helped shape my classroom to be better. It’s like your podcast always know why I am struggling with as a teacher and hep me get back on track. Thanks for always being willing to share your knowledge with us!

This is a practical podcast with helpful tips. Easy to follow and useful tips that can be implemented in the traditional or virtual classroom setting.

I discovered Not So Wimpy Teacher after many dead ends and hard days. Every resource I have used so far has been a success and the podcast is equally satisfying. It is always a go to for me!

I love listening to all the practical tips to make my teaching life just a little bit easier! It also helps me to become a better teacher and serve my students! My favorite teaching podcast!

This is my favorite podcast to listen to. I have become a better teacher because of the tips and strategies you share every week! Also, I listen to your podcast while I workout so it motivates me to get to the gym!!

Love listening to these. I have gotten lots of great tips to try.

I love hearing all the teaching gems that Jamie’s team shares to make current teachers lives easier and lessons more engaging.

Jamie and NSWT never disappoint!!! They are so wonderful!

Jamie’s NSWT podcast is a great way for teachers to listen and receive practical ideas for teaching. Her demeanor is friendly and positive. I enjoy listening to her on the way to work or even at home during distant learning. I appreciate all of the episodes she’s provided and they have helped me tremendously!

I live listening to all of Jaimie’s tips!! She always uplifts your from where you are at as a writing teacher.

The NSWTP is filled with great information and tips that can be implemented right away. Jamie is a wonderful teacher!

You are going to be a really good podcast or if I like your podcast

I love listening to the NSWT podcast every week. Jamie gives great tips and advice to make teaching and learning more fun. It’s like a mini dose of PD while I’m doing laundry or working out!

I absolutely love this podcast. Thank you for sharing REAL tips that are easily implemented into the classroom! <3

As my district is about to switch to virtual teaching, there has been a lot of panic and nerves of the unknown. This podcast has put things into perspective! She totally makes it seem like we can do this! She gives great ideas to help keep kids engaged and motivated to continue to do their schoolwork while at home while also continuing to make connections with your students. This was fantastic! Thank you!

Thank you for covering so many topics! I have just started listening, and I can already say that I have learned things that I can bring into the classroom. I will continue to listen and learn. Thank you!

She has lots of great ideas. I don’t agree with everything. For instance, do NOT have a substitute teach a new game from reading the directions that day unless you always have subs who are used to your grade level and you are sure they play games and have some basis for understanding it. They don’t have time to read that and it’s not as self explanatory as you might think. However, most of her advice is smart and practical. She may sound like she is recording in the bathroom, but you’ll get some great advice like have a special substitute behavior plan. Post it big in your room so kids will believe the sub. Great ideas. Just make it easy. Very very easy. I didn’t understand the bingo explanation (draw a card?) and I’m pretty smart but elementary was not my level...Add a petal for each student each time they are respectful? Ain’t nobody got time for that.

As a first year teacher last year, it is hard to know where to start! Jamie has saved my life so many times! I have learned more from her than in my entire university experience! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I am extremely picky about what podcasts I listen to. I want something with clear practical tips from someone that has been in the trenches, not lots of theory or fluff. This podcast fully meets my criteria.

Hi there, Catherine Coyle (collaborative_classroom) here! Loving your podcasts this summer! I feel like I’m in a PD every time I turn it on :)

Such a great podcast! Jamie is an amazing teacher and delivers incredibly valuable and practical advice!

This podcast has changed my life! I struggle with so many things Jamie talks about and it helps so much to hear from a fellow teacher. I love that she actually has solutions that work! The episode about batching was huge for me. Her episodes help me become a better teacher and motivate me to grow!

The motivation and encouragement Jamie shares on her podcast are heartfelt and just what I need to continue to grow as an educator. She shares valuable tips and ideas that are easy to implement. I have continued to learn and be inspired by the ideas I have heard in these episodes. I highly suggest that educators listen in to her podcasts for inspiration, tips, and valuable resources and ideas.

I love that Jamie’s heart for both teachers and students is SO evident in her podcast. The tips she shares are simple, actionable and really help make teaching more fun! Such a great listen.

Jamie Sears provide so much for teachers! Her personality is genuine, and she really “talks” to teachers from both the mind and heart! One of my favorite podcasts 😊

If you are looking for someone to help you build confidence in writing, this is your person! From easy to implement tips to deep level thinking, she has all you need!!

I’m a first year teacher and I can’t wait to put some of these ideas into action in the future!

Each episode offers simple to implement tips for making a teacher’s life easier AND to make learning fun for everyone. If you want down-to-earth tips, tricks, and inspiration for your classroom, this is your gal!

Love your podcasts! You are so helpful!

Love this podcast! Definitely going to listen to a few episodes several times (challenging parents). Thanks for everything, Jamie!
