Terri Teaches

“Teachers are the foundation of everything that is.” Ms. Terri Hunt, K-8, gifted education, literacy, writing Terri Teaches, The Write Space “We have released our authority to people who don’t teach truth.” #Shoutout to all the Black mothers! On this week’s episode, we are joined by Ms. Terri Hunt, who walks us through her educational experience as a Black student growing up in Utah (and the painful moment she realized why her teacher didn’t like her), the dream she had while attending an HBCU, and the conversation with her daughter that led her to choose her own children and pivot into homeschooling. As a teacher for 18 years, Terri speaks on the various mindsets of educators, the shared anxiety of standardized testing, teacher evaluations and school rankings, and the limitations of seeing life in milestones. Ms. Hunt also shares misconceptions (no, instruction doesn’t have to begin at 8am) and benefits (hello, community!) of homeschooling for parents. Teach us, Terri!
