Here is what teachers really need right now, and how we can work together to help

I am thrilled to kick off the season with today’s guest, Beth Pandolpho. She authored an opinion piece in Education Week about a month ago where she identified the unique struggles teachers are facing this school year and outlined some pretty simple solutions school districts could implement now that would make a difference. When facing complex challenges, such as the one that exists in schools right now, especially in regards to staffing and the educator experience, it’s important to be specific and solutions-oriented, and Beth is both those things. I know that if you’re an educator listening, you’ll feel validated by listening to this episode, and if you’re in a leadership position, you’ll definitely want to hear the recommendations we discuss, because most of them are pretty simple to implement. And for the bolder ones that I recommend, I’d argue those are easy to implement, too.
