10 Minute Teacher Podcast with Cool Cat Teacher

Vicki Davis is an AP Computer Science teacher in rural Georgia who somehow also finds time to host one of the most prolific education podcasts around -- over 900 episodes and counting. The format is exactly what the title promises: roughly ten minutes of focused, practical teaching advice that you can absorb during a morning coffee or the walk from the parking lot to your classroom. Davis interviews a rotating cast of fellow teachers, researchers, school administrators, and ed-tech specialists, keeping each conversation tight and actionable. No filler, no long-winded intros. You get a strategy, a framework, or a fresh perspective, and then you get on with your day. Recent episodes have tackled phone addiction in teens, AI tools for the classroom, student digital wellness, and assessment strategies that actually respect the time teachers have. Davis has a particular gift for making her guests feel comfortable enough to share real classroom stories rather than polished talking points. She also publishes detailed show notes on her Cool Cat Teacher blog with links, resources, and discussion guides, which makes the podcast genuinely useful for professional learning communities looking for conversation starters. The show consistently ranks in the top education podcasts on Apple Podcasts with a 4.8-star rating from over 270 reviews. It has earned recognition from multiple education media outlets and Davis herself holds the title of IT Director at her school on top of her teaching duties. If you are the kind of educator who values efficiency and wants professional development that fits into the margins of a packed schedule, this is the podcast built for you.
