Teachers in the Tiny Chairs

Christine Lippard

Teachers in the Tiny Chairs is a podcast about all things early childhood teaching. Launched in 2020, Teachers in the Tiny Chairs began as a resource for teachers beginning the 2020-2021 school year in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic and all of the uncertainty that brought for early childhood classrooms. Each episode Dr. Christine Lippard interviews a researcher and a classroom teacher on a specific early childhood education topic. Intended to provide research background, practical ideas, cheering-on from a distance, Teachers in the Tiny Chairs is the long-distance mentoring your teacher prep faculty wish they could provide.
