Episode 8: Ko'zeine (SFA S1E7)

Episode 11: Rubicon (SFA S1E10)

It's the final episode of the first season and almost the end of the school year. Wrapping things up is a clumsy and fraught process for sure but sometimes ending things succinctly is less important than looking back with gratitude for the learning that happened that year. We are grateful for the oncoming summer break but, just like Star Trek, our job is never really over. We will be back this summer with more sci-fi, more teaching tales, more insights, and more of the Teacher's Lounge! Thanks for listening!

Episode 10: 300th Night (SFA S1E9)

Nothing quite like the end of the school year. As we scramble to put a bow on the end of our final units and get grades done, we also feel the joy of anticipating that final bell ringing and walking out to the car to leave the school parking lot, not to return until the end of summer break. For Starfleet Academy, however, this year things are getting complicated. Join us as we discuss the beginning of the end of season one, and of course we are sharing our experiences with students and their families navigating the amazing world of public education. Thanks for listening! Oh and please join us on our facebook group [https://www.facebook.com/61583041460299/] to talk trek, teaching, and whatever the hell else you want to talk about!

Episode 9: Life Among the Stars (SFA S1 E8)

How do you build resilience in kids? Do you put them through trials and crucibles? Do you try to make the world safe so their feelings never even get hurt in the first place? Do you bring in Tilly, one of Nu Trek's best characters, and use the ancient art of theater to help them process their complex emotions? On this episode we talk about resilience and living in that uncomfortable space colloquially known as the universe. If you like the show, please tell your friends and give us a good review on the podcatcher of your choice! Only two episodes left for this season!

Episode 8: Ko'zeine (SFA S1E7)

A character focused episode of Starfleet Academy gives us some prompts to talk about academic honesty, self-destructive student habits, and the power of effective communication. Sofia does some detective work to determine just what the heck is the deal with Derrem's homeworld. Brian shares the secret of his Klingon impression. NOTE: this episode we tried something new, so if you want to share your thoughts hit us up on our new Starfleet Academy: Teacher's Lounge Facebook group, or our instagram SATL.podcast. Thanks for the support! We appreciate you!

Come Let's Away (SFA S1 E6)
