Podcast Overview
<p>Welcome to “Hallway Conversations!" <br /><br />We are friends who have been teaching for quite a while, but we still have lots of questions about education. This is our place for thinking out loud about topics we think are important for Christian educators to consider. We regularly have face-to-face hallway conversations, and this podcast is our way of inviting you in to our reflections on contemporary education. <br /><br />Our deep hope is that you would find these conversations an opportunity for your own reflection--that you would be challenged and encouraged in your work as an educator, and that you might even chuckle along as we think on our feet and stumble through trying to answer each others questions about what it means to take our faith seriously as we consider our work as educators.<br /><br />Feel free to drop us a line at hallwayconvospod@gmail.com</p>

Episode 131: Our Hiatus Explained (no excuses, but we’ve been a little busy this spring…)
Our semester-long hiatus is over! We’ve missed you, friends, and we wanted to check in this spring. We’ve both been busy with many things—both in our work here in the Education department at Dordt University, and in other things we also get to do. In this episode, Abby shares about her adventures in school leadership, and Dave shares about his adventures traveling all over the place. We talk about things we are continuing to learn even as we teach, the fun things we got to do this year, and a fair bit about the role of AI in education today (which is one of Dave’s favorite topics to talk about lately!) We hope that this episode is also an encouragement to you, dear listeners, as we draw toward the end of this academic year. And don’t worry; we plan to get back on a more regular recording schedule in the fall! In this episode, Dave mentioned a professional development opportunity he is leading through the Center for the Advancement of Christian Education. “Teach Like a Human” is a year-long professional development plan that schools can use to be better prepared for the joys and concerns of teaching, learning, and leading in the age of AI. More information is available here: https://cace.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/CACE_AI_PD_Info_Sheet.pdf We always love hearing from you, dear listeners.

Episode 130: A Christmas Reading List (or, our lives are rich and full, but we still love to read!)
Christmas is coming! It’s the end of a very busy semester, and both Abby and Dave have rich and full lives. We start by checking in and talking through the things we’ve been up to in these past few weeks, including international travels and adventures in school leadership. From there, we pivot into our year-end sharing of great things we’ve read this year, and the things we’re hoping to read over Christmas break. We hope that this conversation gives you some inspiration to pick up a book for your own Christmas break time–and maybe take one of our recommendations! Blessings to you as you wrap things up for the fall term, and we hope you’ll experience a true sense of Christmas hope, joy, and wonder in this season of the year.

Episode 129: Student Relationships and Classroom Management (A conversation with Katie Reitsma)
Today we are delighted to have a guest joining us for our hallway conversation: Abby’s long-time friend and former colleague, Katie Reitsma. Katie currently serves as a high school teacher in Iowa, where she is a master at connecting with kids. Abby invited Katie to her Applied Educational Psychology class as a guest speaker as they focused on classroom management strategies. Abby interviewed Katie, and our future teachers raised questions as well–and we put them in front of the microphone to turn it into a podcast episode. Katie and Abby have all kinds of great ideas for building relationships with students and mitigating challenging classroom behaviors. We hope you’ll learn a few things as you listen in as well! We always love hearing from you, dear listeners. You can drop us a line at hallwayconvospod@gmail.com. Hallway Conversations is sponsored by the Center for the Advancement of Christian Education.
