Chalk + Ink: Season 1 Episode 1

Interview with Angela Shante, Author of The Noisy

​Classroom and Educational Consultant

Welcome to Chalk and Ink, the podcast for teachers who write and writers who teach. If you're looking to develop and deepen your writing and/or teaching practice, then this is the podcast for you! Special thanks to author and illustrator, Sarah Brannen, for the podcast art. Be sure to check out Sarah's new book A Perfect Day. It's the perfect summer read.

Without further ado, meet author and educational consultant, Angela Shante, in our first podcast episode. She explains how to use literacy to tiptoe into social emotional learning, tells listeners how to weave editing magic into their classrooms and leaves teachers with a fun, fantastic writing activity you can try with your class. ​

Angela wrote The Noisy Classroom. She also recommends that all teachers have a copy of First Day Jitters by Julie Danneberg on hand to show that teachers have feelings and emotions, too.

Finally, check out the article Angela wrote called "Tips to Decolonize and Diversify Your Child's Library."

Happy listening!
