Ángela Méndez (2nd Grade, NY)

Ángela Méndez is in her second year of teaching at a New York City charter school. In this episode, we talk about her work on the anti-racism and equity committee, her advice for new teachers, and the impact of COVID-19 on her teaching.

ContrastEd host Amber Miles got her MAT and completed her student teaching in Massachusetts before returning to her home state, Arizona. She taught 4th/5th grade in Sedona, AZ, and witnessed stark differences between urban/suburban MA and rural AZ. This became the basis of ContrastEd and inspired her to expand her understanding of the U.S. education system.
