In this episode, we bring you the firsthand account of a teacher who is courageously confronting the systemic challenges within the Houston Independent School District (HISD). Despite facing termination for her advocacy, she refuses to be silenced as she shares her story of resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
Join us as we discuss the obstacles she has encountered, from standing up against a hostile principal to grappling with hidden testing data that undermines student learning. Through her honest and transparent accounts, we gain insight into the harsh realities of navigating limited resources, unaddressed grievances, and the isolating experience of "teacher jail."
Through her narrative, we uncover the deeper issues at play within HISD and the broader implications for educators striving to make a difference in their communities. Her unwavering commitment to her students and the pursuit of justice serves as a powerful call to action for systemic reform within our education system.
Tune in as we amplify her voice, shine a light on the injustices faced by educators on the frontlines of educational equity, and send her positive vibes as she faces possible termination.
