The Teacher's Desk
This podcast is all about teaching, learning, and what it's like to work in today's classroom. At this time, the focus of The Teacher's Desk will be diverted to helping parents and other adults that are currently teaching at home. These people that are working to keep these kids learning deserve all the help they can get. If you know of anyone assuming this role, please share this podcast. All episodes benefit teachers, but episode 4 and on are focused on helping home-bound teachers. Thank you for listening, and thank you for sharing.

In Episode 10, we talk more about the Gap, and how this pandemic may be affecting it. An important, if understated, role of schools is to help to close that gap amongst our children, and distance learning adds new obstacles to many old problems.
Our guest for this episode is Annie, a dynamic 7th Grade English LA teacher and mother of two. She shares insights on teaching from home, equity in these "hybrid" school models, and appreciating what we are because of this.
