This week marks nearly one year to the day that lockdown from the COVID-19 virus began. On this episode, we hear from educators from all over about what they wish their communities, school boards, families, students, administrators, and politicians knew. If we have learned anything over the past year, it is that listening to, recognizing, and holding space for others is one of the most important things we can do as educators and as humans. Enjoy.
