In this season‑finale episode of RASCALS’ Roundtable, Brett Fischer and Danielle Viens sit down with three influential voices in Québec’s ESL community to reflect on what makes a teaching career sustainable and meaningful.
Christine Baida, President of SPEAQ, looks back on the challenging early years of teaching and reminds us that grit grows through support and community. Recently retired CEGEP teacher David Coward reflects on the students, colleagues, and creative projects that gave his career purpose. Finally, DanBoulerice brings it home by reminding us that ESL isn’t just about language—it’s about citizenship, culture, and helping students become better humans.
This episode is a love letter to collaboration, mentorship, and finding your people in education.
