In this episode, we speak with Sally Stanhope about. "The Civil Rights Movement in Northeast Georgia," last year's P-12 professional development institute at the Lillian E. Smith Center. We speak with her about what she took away from the institute and why she would encourage educators to attend this year's institute, "The Civil Rights Movement and the Nine-Word Problem."
Stanthope has 18 years of teaching experience at various levels from elementary to undergraduate. Stanhope has also served in a variety of administrative roles including Academic Coach, Class Dean, and Service Learning Coordinator and at the Atlanta History Center designing virtual field trips. She now teaches at Chamblee High School, advocates for inclusive schools, and works with the Stone Mountain Action Coalition to free Stone Mountain Park from its Lost Cause legacy.
