• We intentionally curate dissenting views to foster thoughtful conversations  amongst all teachers, regardless of their political views, or backgrounds. We invite robust and nuanced discussion from fellow experts—which requires that we lovingly, and bravely challenge one another.

    Hence, the views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the official policies or positions of any school, institution, organizations, or other individuals in the Rebel Teachers Rising Network.
