This is Democracy – Episode 182: Teaching During COVID

This week, Jeremi and Zachary are joined by Jason Flowers, a high school teacher, to discuss how teaching has changed during COVID. Zachary sets the scene with his poem: "Nowadays" Jason Flowers is entering his seventeenth year teaching AP US History at the Liberal Arts and Science Academy in Austin.  In addition to APUSH, Mr. Flowers teaches American Film and coaches Quiz Bowl and History Bowl.  He is originally from South Louisiana and has a B.A. in history from LSU along with a master’s degree in social studies education from North Texas.  Mr. Flowers is also the head coach and team leader for Team USA for the International Geography Olympiad and serves on the board of directors of the National Consortium of Specialized STEM Schools. Under normal circumstances, Mr. Flowers spends lots of time traveling, but since March has spent lots of time riding his road bike around Austin.  He lives in Austin with his partner Meagan and his two kittens Moxie and Muffin.
