💥 This week on the Non-Professional Development Podcast, we kick things off with one of the strangest preshow conversations yet — Dave insists he has an invisible rash, and Ted immediately jumps to the only logical conclusion: scabies… somehow caused by clementine's.

From there, things take a much more wholesome turn as we celebrate one of Ted’s students becoming EMT certified — and reflect on the kinds of classroom wins that don’t get talked about enough, but absolutely should.

Of course, it wouldn’t be NPD without a hard left turn.

We spiral into stories about police department psych exams, talk about why students being “mean” is actually a good sign (most of the time), and then dive into the movies we watched growing up that probably should not have been shown to children.

That somehow leads to Dave calling his dad mid-episode to confirm a childhood sleepwalking story… which only raises more questions.

And yes — we may or may not be planning an NPD sleepover.

🎧 What to Expect:

– Dave’s “invisible rash” and Ted’s scabies diagnosis

– A colorblind test that quickly derails the episode– Celebrating Ted’s first EMT-certified student

– The importance of recognizing positive classroom moments

– Dave & Ted’s unforgettable psych exam stories

– Why students being “mean” is sometimes a good sign

– Millennial movies that absolutely traumatized us as kids

– Dave calling his dad to verify a sleepwalking story

– The upcoming NPD sleepover chaos

🙌 Why Tune In?

Because teaching isn’t just chaos — it’s also the moments where you see students succeed in ways that actually matter. This episode balances the ridiculous (invisible rashes and movie trauma) with the real (celebrating student growth and connection), which is exactly what the classroom experience feels like.

This is classic NPD — unpredictable, hilarious, and surprisingly meaningful.
