Welcome to “Those Who Can’t Do" with host Andrea Forcum (aka Educator Andrea on TikTok), a former high school teacher and now professor at Indiana State University. Each week, hang out in our podcast faculty lounge as Andrea trades notes with teachers, professors, students, politicians, and maybe even some celebrities as we explore what makes a great educator. Along the way, we’ll spotlight heroes, trade resources, share hilarious classroom war stories, and, most importantly, encourage one another as we shape the leaders, innovators, and future of our world. Teaching may be hard, but it’s as rewarding as it is challenging. The one thing it’s not… is driven by those who can’t do!
