Can leadership changes and initiative overload be the real culprits behind educator burnout? Join us on Taught for part 2 of Tracy's interview as we dive deep into the heart of the education system's most pressing challenges. With a focus on the systemic issues that arise when teachers are overwhelmed, we'll discuss the importance of prioritizing and streamlining efforts to ensure that educational initiatives are both valuable and effectively communicated to students. The conversation then shifts to the critical role of social-emotional learning (SEL) in today’s education landscape. We’ll tackle the complex task of balancing various initiatives while prioritizing student success, with a particular emphasis on the disproportionate impact of exclusionary disciplinary practices on Black students, students with IEPs, and language learners.  Let's spread awareness and foster discussions that can lead to real change.
