Peggy Brookins, President and CEO of the National Board of Professional Teaching Standards, joins this episode to talk all about her experiences in the world of education. Peggy starts off by sharing her story – beginning with when she first started teaching, to how she ended up in her current role. Peggy then goes on to discuss how education has changed since she first started teaching, especially in terms of how she fostered that change at the Engineering and Manufacturing Institute of Technology at Forest Hills High School, which she co-founded. She also shares how teachers can continue to foster equitable spaces and create encouraging environments for all students. Peggy wraps up by leaving listeners with some parting wisdom and advice to consider as they head back to school in the Fall.
