Mission & Vision
Our podcast is forcefully inserting teachers’ voices into the national conversation about the crisis in K-12 education which is eroding our nation’s standing in the world, and which threatens our ability to effectively self-govern.
We propose radical reforms to save our democracy which re-imagine our current piecemeal and largely absent K-12 governance to allow teachers to be in the leadership of our own profession.
We delve deeply into the evidence of all that is wrong in our world, by inviting fellow teachers from across the nation to speak on the podcast to make our case for this radical reform.
Core Values
We begin with an unconditional love of all teachers, and recognize that we are a part of a system that seeks to oppress us, and devalues our expertise.
Love
We don't pretend to have all the answers, but believe teachers working together will create lasting solutions when given the space to lead. We know current and veteran teachers are a necessary yet missing component in leading our profession.
Community
We disrupt beliefs that disempower teachers from doing right by our nation’s children, and applying their highly nuanced and expert knowledge in our classrooms. We challenge the notion that non-experts know more than us, and we call out the rampant corporate greed of “Big Textbook,” which is costing tax payers billions of dollars, and clearly does not work.
Disruption
We believe in advocating for radical reforms in education, and for creating new systems which create equitable reforms for students across all county and state lines.
