Welcome to the new year, a new president, the new normal, and a new episode of Outrageous Love the Podcast. 2021 and episode 10 kick off a new 3-part series, Teachers Teach, which puts the focus on the outstanding, noble, and sacrificial work educators have been doing for our students for almost one year. Whether it be in-person with students, in a so-called hybrid model, or totally virtual, our educators have stepped up to the plate and made a significance difference for countless students. This new series is meant to celebrate and honor their work and to give a few of them a platform to express themselves. Part 1 starts with Dr. Genita Williams, educator extraordinaire, from the ATL by way of the STL. Dr. Williams has been an university professor, district administrator, school leader, and now back to where it all started, a middle school teacher. Yes! A school leader who made the choice to go "front" to the classroom. Hear Genita's journey from classroom teacher to celebrated school leader to classroom teacher again. Hear Dr. Hollie's "two cents" on his takeaways from working with thousands of teachers (virtually) during the pandemic.
