The Chalk Dust Podcast is a place where I talk with teachers about their experiences in the teaching profession … because once the dust has settled, every teacher has a story to tell.
An interview with Natalie Platschka, a Kindergarten teacher in Fort Worth, TX.

Episode 21: Andrew Brinker
Today I am talking with Andrew Brinker, a high school Environmental Science teacher in Fort Worth, TX. I met Andrew in 2019 when I was recruiting teachers for a National Science Foundation research project, and we have been working together ever since. Andrew’s work on the Trinity River Turtle Survey has been featured in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and KERA, to name a few, as well as in science conferences in Texas and around the country. He is the sponsor of the recycling club at Paschal High School, as well as the science club and his students compete in science competitions all over the state. Andrew was named the 2020 Environmental Educator of the Year by the Texas Environmental Excellence Awards, and in this episode you will see why. He is an ambassador for science, the environment, and experiential learning, and I hope you learn as much as I did from talking with him.

Episode 20: Lauren Waldman
Today I am talking with Lauren Waldman, a high school social studies teacher in Dallas, TX. I first met Lauren as a high school student when she was on a campus visit at TCU. The next fall she enrolled in my introductory education class, and I was so glad to see she had enrolled. I taught Lauren in a couple more classes at TCU, and she spent a year working for me as a graduate teaching assistant. I can’t wait to catch up with Lauren and find out what she is up to now that she’s doing what she loves to do, teaching.
