What does it really mean to protect your students—your community—when the world outside is threatening to break in?

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Get Deep, Deborah D.E.E.P. Mouton shares what it was like teaching in communities too often overlooked—and the moment she decided to be the last one out of the room if danger ever came. Through stories of classroom resilience, active shooter drills, and students carrying too much too soon, Deborah reminds us of the radical impact of empathy, presence, and choosing to stand for those who feel unseen.

This one’s for the educators, the protectors, the ones who stay behind to make sure others get out.

Come in, take a seat, and let’s get deep.
