Today’s episode focuses on the realities of hybrid teaching. Tennille Johnston is an award-winning science teacher in Texas who is speaking out about what really happened this school year. She bravely reflects on the real struggles, challenges, and quality of education in the school year 2020-2021. Her words reflect the honesty of a hard year of teaching – what many of us would say is the hardest years of our careers. We all need to help be realistic about a very unrealistic, unusual year as we help meet students where they are and we move forward.
