The second conversation of this series is with Ale Checka, a former district teacher of the year and FWISD student herself. She has taught in the district for seventeen years and loves students and books. You truly get to hear from one of the city's best teachers, who we have the fortune to sit down with for an intimate conversation. We appreciate Ms. Checka's forwardness and articulation of the challenge around over-testing, poor curriculum, and lack of plan. The school board called a special meeting for Sept. 17 to discuss the current superintendent's contract.
