Send us a textIf learning communities are not truly inclusive, then they are not really meeting the needs of everyone — that’s the core belief that drives International Schools Services (ISS) Director of Learning, Research, & Outreach Dana Specker Watts, Ph.D. It’s why she’s made sure that the “Netflix for schools” education model that she’s been developing as a passion project is available and accessible to everyone at the schools she works with, from security and food service employees to TAs, teachers, and school leaders. Now living and working in New Jersey, Watts reflects on her own teaching career in the U.S. and abroad in this episode. Whether it's the challenge of adjusting from teaching college students to middle schoolers, unforgettable classroom experiences like having a Hiroshima survivor to speak with her students, or highlighting innovative practices that connect teachers, students, and parents in powerful ways, Watts shares insights for everyone. Get your FREE GUIDE ➡️ 100+ AI Prompts to Save Teachers Time This free, teacher-tested resource is packed with over 100 AI prompts across 10 categories to help you lighten your load and reclaim your time.  Moreland University can help you create the teaching career of your dreams. Get your U.S. teaching license in as little as 9 months Earn a master's degree in 12 months Keep growing with professional developmentLearn more at moreland.eduThanks for listening to Front of the Class: Real Stories From Real Educators.
