SHARE YOUR STORY ON OUR PODCAST :
Part of the purpose of Educators Defending Democracy is to share our stories with the public, showing the pressures that we as educators are under and showcasing our resiliency and strength. While not everyone is comfortable or able to share their stories candidly, some have indicated that they would be willing to do so. If you are comfortable sharing your story, please visit this link to schedule a podcast interview with Karen Svoboda, Executive Director of “Defense of Democracy.” www.Tidycal.com/ksvoboda
Here is our plan for the coming months. We would welcome suggestions of additional trainings that might be useful. Also, if you feel qualified to give a workshop on any of the “trainings” topics, we would love to hear from you!
