#104 - Gen Z Enters the Teaching Profession w/ Bryant Odega!


Listen Later

From low compensation, rising costs of living, and the tragic reality of school shootings to book bans, critical race hysteria, and threats against “woke” teachers–this sure seems like a hell of a time to decide to enter the teaching profession. And yet, a whole new generation of teachers are spending this summer getting ready to start their credentialing programs or prepping for their first year of teaching. How do we support and sustain this aspiring group, and what’s their outlook on the state of the teaching profession? This week we’re joined by Bryant Odega, a super-dope young educator who is about to begin his credentialing journey in the Teaching and Teacher Leadership program at our alma mater, the Harvard Graduate School of Education! He speaks with us about the Gen Z view of teaching and what it will take to cultivate more young, talented, and super-dope teachers. But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent headlines in education including a private school hiking its tuition to cash in on school vouchers and an interesting look at social media’s benefits for LGBTQ youth.
