DESCRIPTION: Michelle and Kalinda explore what it means to be authentic educators in the midst of the rapid changes occurring because of COVID-19. We focus on the question, “As an educator in the midst of COVID-19, how do you remain authentic to your beliefs & continue to grow?” This episode is part of Educators for Impact’s Enduring Essentials series, which is an ongoing conversation that focuses on sharing concepts, ideas, and sometimes advice for teachers, principals, counselors, and other stakeholders in the education system.
