Grey Matters with Leah and Angela
We're Leah Mermelstein and Angela Stockman, and we started this podcast because we’ve been chasing the same question together for quite a few years now: What makes a practice best for learners? The answer we continue arriving at? It depends. We’re experienced teachers ourselves, dedicated researchers, and respected scholars in our field. We’ve also facilitated professional learning across hundreds of school districts, taught in higher education, and continue working directly with young learners situated in elementary through graduate school classrooms. And here's what we've learned: the teachers we most admire aren't the ones who pivot at every new trend. They're the ones who grow their teacher identity steadily and intentionally. They live comfortably in the grey areas of teaching—holding paradox, navigating competing demands, and developing sophisticated judgment rather than searching for any one right answer. That's what Grey Matters is about.
