2021 was a wild year for education. Unknowns, changes, and a new found critical eye on education with a focus on Critical Race Theory and book banning all happened while a pandemic continued to exist within our communities. Teachers have been under immense stress and the school system itself has been rocking back and forth upon the waves of political and cultural tribulations.

Even with all of this, the podcast has seen massive growth in listeners. Teachers and administrators have been tuning in more and more to hear about best teaching practices, the latest experts on complex issues, and to extend their knowledge of all things education.

I am personally humbled and thankful so many educators not only want to improve their craft for the communities they serve, but because so many choose to do so with the Teach Me, Teacher podcast. Educators are some of the best people out there, and it means the world to me that this show is supported by so many across the globe.

So what were the top episodes listened to with all of this going on? Not surprisingly, the list of our top episodes is as diverse as people are, and shows education, and this show, are not echo chambers, but edu chambers.

The following were the most downloaded episodes of 2021.
