Let Them and Let Me Theory by Mel Robbins: coursework, comparison, and setbacks in teacher prep


What do you do when you studied hard, and someone else didn’t, but they did better than you? Or when you fail an exam, struggle in a class, or feel behind your cohort?
This episode is inspired by the book Let Them by Mel Robbins. This theory is applied to preservice teachers navigating coursework, studying, fieldwork, and student teaching.
This episode reminds future teachers that struggle is part of learning and that teaching begins long before graduation.
