Hi, I'm Trina Deboree from Trina Deboree Teaching and Learning and the podcast One Tired Teacher. I create engaging content for elementary teachers focusing on Science, reading comprehension, STEM, and Makerspace. My passion lies in giving teachers back a fraction of their time so they can put first things first. My ultimate goal is to offer creative content that helps teachers inspire students to learn, dream, think, and wonder.

I will help you move from drudgery teaching, where you feel like you are going against your core values and teacher soul, to an explosion of teaching, where you fulfill your purpose and your ultimate dream of teaching.

So as I mentioned at the end of episode 213, I will be taking a little break this summer, but I will still drop content each week.

Getting to the end of the school year comes with a mixture of feelings. I know I’ve experienced overwhelm with all the looming things that need to be done. I’ve felt frustration at the lackluster attitudes my kids have displayed, and I’ve even felt a deep sadness as the days counted down. Other years, I have to admit, I’ve felt relief. Some years you are just ready to end. There are just so many feelings.
