School Interrupted

The school landscape is in need of a gentle revolution - one that creates significant change - but one that is done with love and respect. Join Dr. Debbie Pushor and former graduate students in discussions about the transformative nature of parent engagement in schools. From co-constructing teaching and learning in nature with parents to looking inward as teachers at one’s white savior complex, from inspiring change in schools to make them more familycentric to the challenges and triumphs of creating meaningful relationships with parents as a teacher, you’ll find it all here. These brilliant and engaging explorations are for educators, parents, and learners alike. Join us on the shifting landscape of schools, this is School Interrupted. This podcast is sponsored by Debbie Pushor Engagement Group.
