Ep 202 | From Walnut Hill to Senegal: One IB student’s story

Laura Wiggins is a 1st grade teacher at Kingsfield Elementary who completed Pensacola High School’s IB program thanks to School Choice. In this episode, she shares how her path went from rural northwest Florida to Senegal, and from “I’m never becoming a teacher” to it becoming her first choice. You’ll hear how the right people and a yellow school bus gave her the wings she needed to create her own path while also honoring her family’s legacy.Guest: Laura Wiggins https://pensacolahs.escambiaschools.org/international-baccalaureate/about-ib The Florida Department of Education just released district and school grades and we're are beyond thrilled to announce that Escambia County Public Schools has achieved a district grade of ‘A.’  This means that 83% of ECPS schools upheld or exceeded past years’ performances!Learn more about Escambia County School District: https://www.escambiaschools.org/Find additional links: https://www.voicesunitedineducation.com/podcast-episodesHost:  Meredith Hackwith Edwards
