Today, we explore the role of a teacher as an activist in the classroom. Our good friend and experienced educator - Aiyeshia Wong - gets at the heart of what it means to be an educator in a polarizing political climate. As a high school English teacher, she helps us navigate some key and relevant questions: What is your responsibility as an educator to teach issues of social justice? How, if at all, should you approach teaching these current political issues that are controversial but very real in your classroom? Afterwards, we hear about the challenges of working in a school where complacency is the norm, budget cut implications, and much more. Happy listening!
