Educators Amplified
We are just as exhausted as you with the lack of educator voice, autonomy, and humanity in our education system right now. From the lack of safety for children in schools to the poor leadership structure, there isn’t a shortage of things that could be better.
In conversational style story-telling, we will chat with the experts in education - teachers, school staff, and former students - to bring you real experiences that are happening in schools today. We offer these stories so you can hear the truth, connect to your power, and help empower you to speak up for what’s best for children in our public schools.
The combination of Joanna’s 26 years as a Latina educator and Hallie’s 12 years of navigating the profession post ACT 10, plus their 10 years of co-teaching in an innovative, integrative education program - we’ve got a hefty dose of real-ness and a fresh perspective (and applicable tips) that will help you feel hope for the future of education and our children.
New episodes come out every month!
