"I Don’t Want to See My Students Here Again": Bing Parks
Episode description
Education within the prison system is a challenge. From access to technology to access to books.
Bing Parks is an educator who loves her students but never wants to see her students in her classroom again. That's because she works in the Texas Juvenile Department. Her students range in age from 11 to 18 years old. Today she joins host Jon Eckert to discuss how she uses engagement to drive her students' well-being.
To learn more, order Jon's book, Just Teaching: Feedback, Engagement, and Well-Being for Each Student.
