Two Recovering Teachers

In this episode, we introduce our new segment, “Yes, And…” as we break down the longest educator strike in Colorado in 45 years, the Sheridan Educators Association strike. We also share ways you can support SEA and their efforts to fight for reinstatement of their contract, to recognize classified employees as part of the union, and to retract any disciplinary actions educators have faced while making their voice heard.

Tune in as Genevieve and Rhiannon discuss updates on the school closure discussed in previous episodes. Rhiannon attended a "Community Design Session" with her former colleagues, students, families, and the school district; and things got spicy! We then transition into advice on "What can I do in this moment"? Genevieve pulls a tarot card with some cosmic advice for the collective, you don't want to miss it! To watch the live stream of that meeting (there are two parts) check out the Jefferson Jr/Sr High School Instagram page ⁠here⁠.To check out the district's slideshow click ⁠here⁠.We encourage folks to join us at the next "Design Session" on Monday, March 3rd at 6pm.

We need bodies in these spaces so folks know they are not alone. Hope to see you there! 

Loving the Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl, and also talking about how bullshit got in our way.... Enjoy the truth.

Genevieve and Rhiannon take the podcast on the road to the Pacific Northwest and back. In this episode we discuss the collective fear and anxiety that has gripped so many of us, and offer some suggestions on how to cope or to quiet the noise of the state of the world. Spoiler alert - cutting down on social media is one ;) Thanks for being here! *A bit of caution to our video viewers, it's a bit bumpy since we are filming in the car.

Anti-Trigger Warning to our Educator and ESP friends! This one is about astrology, energy and how to protect yourself in these crazy times.

Here is Part 2 of School Closures where we discuss the impacts on students, staff, and the community when a school closes. In this episode, Rhiannon and Genevieve speak to these things through the lens of their own experiences to help unpack this complex and devastating issue facing public schools today.

Genevieve and Rhiannon meet up post holidays to discuss school closures; a topic that hits very close to home, especially for Rhiannon. These Two Recovering Teachers explore the causes and effects of school closures and its impacts on students and their families, educators and staff (aka Education Support Professionals/ESPs), and of course the local community. This topic brings up many emotions so it will be divided over three parts, the next two coming very soon. Also please fill out our poll and let us know how school closures have impacted you or those you know, and ask us any questions in the comments. Thank you so much for being here!

Join Genevieve & Rhiannon, Two Recovering Teachers, as they embark on their journey to unpack decades of life in education, union work, and politics.
