Episode Notes

What does it really mean to “suck less” in teaching?

In this episode of Eddie Chats, we talk with Carlton Glassford — educator, podcaster, and author — about classroom practice, teacher improvement, burnout, instructional growth, and the realities of getting better at teaching one day at a time.

Carlton shares lessons from his work in education, the philosophy behind his Suck Less approach, and practical insights for teachers trying to balance effectiveness, sustainability, and continuous learning.
