I interviewed Allison Teicher-Farhbach, who is an English Teacher, ESL Coordinator, Director of Curriculum Development, Author, and Co-Host of The Inner You Podcast. She is a powerhouse educator! I was completely blown away by her story and passion for mentoring kids. Allison went into labor days before the lockdown in March 2020 and then continued to teach virtually with her newborn in her lap throughout the whole spring 2020. She transforms kids' lives. She works with students from various backgrounds and many who come from low income homes with lack of resources and support systems. She also works with migrant children who are living in and out of hotels and various homes. Allison is not only their teacher, but a mentor, a parent, an angel. You want to listen to a powerful story then tune into this episode. It will leave you speechless. Thank you Allison for being a special soul in education! Some awesome quotes that stood out to me include: “We need to find the courage to stand up and say I’m going to be a lighthouse. Be a beacon within the chaos.”“Rock bottom became the solid foundation in which I rebuilt my life.”“Keep the foundation, renovate the house.”
