In today’s episode, Cory talks with a really  familiar face. Jenny Meadow is  the Director of Learning and Instruction at Pacific Preparatory School, so she’s honored to call Jenny her colleague. She gives Cory the inside scoop on her journey from the classroom to her current role and her perspective on what makes a good teacher. It’s something we as parents and educators should spend some time thinking about, especially in this tumultuous time. Jenny emphasizes the importance of kindness, fairness, and competence in teachers, as well as the need for critical thinking skills and creating engaging lessons. We dive into the challenges teachers face, including the lack of support and resources, the impact of the political climate, and the increasing pressure on teachers from seemingly endless angles. We also  touch on the potential for change in education, particularly in light of the pandemic, and the importance of simplifying and focusing on what truly matters in both parenting and education. Brought to you by Tutor Corps and Pacific Preparatory. Full episode notes available at www.forgetwhatyoulearned.com.
