S3E4 - Surviving the Low Points

Teachers are expected to wear a smile and carry on, but nearly every educator has hit a low point that nearly drove them out of the profession. How does one overcome that “I’m terrible at this and nothing I do makes a difference” feeling? We’re joined by our new Senior Middle School Correspondent and #NBCT educator extraordinaire Geneviève DeBose Akinnagbe for a discussion about how we overcame the low points in our careers. What does a teacher do when they feel that nothing is working and there’s no road ahead for them in their work? Also, we review this week’s headlines in education including a new study that challenges many of the strongest beliefs about school suspensions.
