Episode description
This episode features our conversation with Mrs. Alicia Campos, a local elementary school teacher and mother who is also actively involved in her community. As a side note, as many of you know, teachers in America are often forced to pay for their own classroom supplies and materials despite increased awareness to this issue. To this end, I have included a link to Alicia's Amazon Wishlist for her classroom supplies for those of you who would like to help contribute. That can be found here. In this conversation, we cover a wide range of topics but mostly center on education and what it's like being a teacher in the current climate. We start out by diving into Alicia's background and how she got into the teaching profession as well as her family life. Then we transition into what it's like being a teacher in America right now in the midst of a pandemic. Expanding on this further, Alicia recounts to us ways that the community can better support educators as well as education as a whole. We also discuss ways that students and their families are forgotten despite their hidden or unknown contributions. With multiculturalism so closely tied to education, she gives her thoughts on how we can better practice it in a way that cuts across partisan lines. Lastly, we cover mental health and self care as she gives us tips on finding balance. We end by talking about Halloween and how she celebrated it with her family.
