Welcome!

Teaching is messy, meaningful, and sometimes hilarious—and we’re here to talk about it all. Off Task Teachers is the podcast where two upper elementary teacher friends, Annie (in Illinois) and Nichole (in Colorado), share real stories from the classroom, practical tips, and plenty of laughs.

Whether you’re lesson planning, commuting, or decompressing after dismissal, join us every other week as we go a little off task—because that’s where the best conversations happen.

Meet Your Hosts

We’re two upper elementary teachers—and friends—living in Illinois and Colorado. Between lesson plans, grading piles, and plenty of coffee, we started Off Task Teachers to share the real side of teaching: the wins, the struggles, and the moments that make us laugh until we cry.
