Welcome to Be a Funky Teacher, the podcast for educators who lead with heart, energy, and authenticity. I’m Nicholas Kleve—aka Mr. Funky Teacher—and after 20+ years in the classroom, I’ve learned that the best teaching starts when you show up as yourself.

Each episode brings real talk on classroom culture, educator wellness, and teacher leadership. Sometimes it’s just me sharing funky stories from the front lines—and sometimes I’ll bring in incredible guests who are changing the game in schools across the country.

Whether you’re a new teacher, a veteran looking for a spark, or just someone who believes in the power of education—you’re in the right place.

Remember to inspire greatness in people… and don’t forget to be a funky teacher.

Bye now!
