Hello everyone! The job of being an educator can be difficult. For a profession that has so many highs, like seeing the growth of young people, it can also have many lows. In such times, it can be hard to be alone or feel like you are. Having educators in your corner, whether that’s digitally on social media or in your building, can be career saving. Last week, we talked about the value of finding your tribe with Rae Hughart, a Middle Level Math Educator in Illinois, and creator of the Teach Further Model.  This week, we are discussing moving forward in education and the need to stop putting bandages on everything, but rather,  implement real change in our schools.  All of that and MORE on this episode.  This episode is sponsored by Heinemann—the leading publisher of professional books and resources for educators—and their new book, The First Five: A Love Letter to TeachersBy Patrick Harris II.We all have stories. We all have experiences to share. A memoir with a call-to-action, The First Five affirms the humanity of all teachers. Patrick inspires you to dream big about what you want for yourself, our students, our schools, and our educational system. In The First Five, Patrick brings to light the realities of teaching, especially in the first five years. He immerses you in his world with personal stories that lead to lessons,  questions, and exercises to help you reflect on your own journey. Each chapter includes interviews with a diverse group of educators. Creating change in our education system is a process. It will happen from the ground up and the inside out. If we want to make a long-lasting impact we need to know more than just what to do; we need to start sharing our stories, not just our strategies. The work we do together throughout this book and beyond will leave you feeling hopeful, empowered, and challenged. No matter where you start, know that this work is ongoing. Give yourself grace. We are in this together, for the long haul. Here’s to the next five years.

We are back with part two of our conversation with Rae Hughart from Teacher Better Team. In this half of the podcast we discussed how to find your authenticity, why teachers fear advocating for themselves, and how to determine what issues and problems are worth fighting for in your school. Again we are grateful for Rae's perspective as she has a hand in so many different educational communities. She really helped us see some things beyond our typical point of view and reframed our role as educators in a powerful way.

Administrators can't figure out why teachers aren't understand what they are asking them to do and teachers can't understand why administrators aren't seeing the big picture. That is what Rae Hughart CXO of the Teacher Better Team told us on the podcast this week. This is part 1 of 2 with Rae as we catch up with her for the first time in a few years and learn what her experience has been working with teachers, students, and admin over the past few years. Rae tells us not just about the communication problems she sees, but also that we as teachers are not advocating for ourselves in the ways that we should. We hope you enjoy and tune in next week for part 2.
