There's Power in Teaching Podcast from PDK International

About Our Show

Phi Delta Kappa International’s new podcast, launched in November 2024, is aimed to align with our new strategic plan. We share content related to our mission of inspiring and growing current and rising educators to become community leaders and advocates for high quality education.

Our podcast does not follow a regular production schedule, nor does it rely upon one host or format. Instead, you’ll hear from PDK International staff interviewing educators and students, as well as content related to articles from Kappan magazine.

You can subscribe to There’s Power in Teaching via Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify podcasts. Or, you can subscribe directly using our RSS feed.

Music for our show is provided courtesy of No Copyright Music. Our show is managed by Dr. John Hendron (email), Director of Public Relations & Special Projects.
