Before instruction ever reaches a child, adults must be equipped to carry their role with clarity and authority. On The Educators With Oil Podcast, Tuesday, January 6, 2026 at 6:00 PM Eastern, I’m joined by veteran educator and Parent Empowerment Specialist Tikisha Michelle, Founder of Education InsideOut. With over 30 years in education, Tikisha addresses a critical gap—supporting students without preparing parents. We discuss how parent empowerment strengthens teacher efficacy, restores order between home and school, and allows educators to teach without carrying responsibilities they were never meant to hold.
