What is The Broken Copier?
Several years back, two teachers on opposite sides of the country wanted to create something with a simple mission: teachers talking about teaching.
This vision became a podcast that then also became a Substack and now has really become a place with all sorts of conversations about teaching that all aim to center the voice and perspective of teachers—something that gets left out all too often in education.
The mission has always been very simple and has not changed. From resources that you can use for your own classroom to podcast conversations around topics we care about as teachers, The Broken Copier continues forward just as it started: a place where teachers can find support, empathy, and affirmation—as well as thoughtful challenge about how we call can be better for our students and communities.
Subscribe for free so you don’t miss anything
You won’t have to worry about missing anything. New episodes and writing are delivered directly to your inbox—100% free, too! Teaching is community work, and we do our best to lean into that by making this platform a space that anyone can access and a conversation anyone can join. (That isn’t going to change, either!)
The more conversation and feedback, the better!
One of the great things about this project has been our ability to connect with other educators in new and inspiring ways. Even if you aren’t directly working in the classroom, if you’re working in education to improve outcomes and drive towards systemic change, we want to hear about your work!
Email feedback to thebrokencopier@gmail.com (or you can get ahold of Marcus directly at marcus.luther@gmail.com)
You can also leave audio feedback at Fanlist—which allows us to include it in future episodes as we respond to it, if you’re willing!
The other most helpful thing, if you find something here valuable: share it out to your own folks and circles! We continue to believe teaching is community work, so the bigger the community the better.
