Patience During Transition. This is a short podcast for K–12 teachers moving into higher education or adult learning. Each 5-minute episode explores how teaching adults differs from teaching children, offering honest stories and practical strategies from the host's own transition after 30 years in K–12. Fans love its refreshing vulnerability, immediately actionable tips, and core message: This is hard. It takes time. Be patient with yourself as you learn. It honors teachers' expertise while guiding them through the uncomfortable, rewarding journey of learning to teach differently References: Knowles, M. S. (1984).
