Following our vision and doing what we believe is right sometimes exactly what our students need and exactly what we need as educators. In today's episode, third year teacher, Jessi Rodriguez, shares her journey as a new teacher in Minneapolis, MN where she moved a mere month after George Floyd was murdered and was teaching students within this very community. Learn how she embraced the turbulence, unrest, and the healing her students needed and all that she has learned along the way.
