This professional learning podcast is intended to focus on the issues educators face in and out of the classroom. In addition to that, the goal is to look at the current state of education and challenge us to do better. When others tell us it can&#39;t be done, we as educators strive to prove them wrong and become the best we can be for our students and ourselves.
