Hi, I'm Drea
lifelong learner, recovering control freak
I taught high school in South Los Angeles, right after COVID. I feel like we deserve extra letters after our names for that one. I watched students turn things around once they believed in what school could do for them.
I also sat in department meetings waiting for permission to teach the way I believed in. Then I realized I didn't need it. That's what these episodes are about. Juicy questions, units built backwards, and students who rise to the standard you set. Any subject, any room.
