Happy Teaching with CLASS Thursday!
When was the last time you raised your voice about what is happening in the education field? It can be scary to speak out, even when we know we have important things to say. In this episode, we are talking about advocacy with Jake Stewart, currently the Director of State Government Relations at the Early Care & Education Consortium, who started in the classroom as an educator. Jake helps us to learn about the ways you can advocate for yourselves as educators and why all of our voices are so important in this fight, especially right now. It's a longer episode than most, but it is full of really impactful and meaningful conversation! If advocacy has ever felt scary or intimidating, you are not alone! Jake helps to break it down into small and large ways to get involved. We will also follow up with Jake after the midterm elections this year to continue the conversation! How did this episode make you feel? What plans do you have to raise your voice? Be sure to come back and tell us how you got involved after you listened to this episode! I can't wait to hear your thoughts!
Best, Allison
