Kalinda and Michelle met at a community high school almost 20 years ago. One was an outgoing, charismatic student and the other a no nonsense science teacher with a reputation for holding students to the highest expectations. Over the years, they kept in touch and eventually developed a friendship. Currently, Michelle is a 5th grade teacher and Kalinda is a community college professor. On this podcast they share their experiences, discuss current issues in education, and invite listeners to join them in making a lasting impact on the U.S. education system.
