WAYS WE CONNECT

PODCASTS

We offer a podcast that shares what’s really going on in our public schools. We know lots of people are talking about education - media, journalists, administrators, communities - but we rarely hear from the experts themselves. This podcast is dedicated to amplifying the educators on the front lines in our public schools. This is the truth, through hearing the real stories, we hope to activate change to empower educators and preserve the teaching profession.

COMMUNICATE

We would love to hear more from YOU. We know that the best way to serve educators is to stay in touch. We have social media accounts through Facebook and Instagram (@EducatorsAmplified), plus an email address to stay connected with educators. Please reach out anytime with questions, comments, suggestions. We’d love to have one-on-one conversations and/or have you as a guest on the podcast!

GATHER

We host in-person gatherings where we ‘circle up’ and connect with educators and public school supporters. We know that through connection, we feel empowered and united. It’s a community of people who truly understand and want to work towards positive change. Sign up for our emails or follow us on Facebook and Instagram, so you can learn when our next gathering will be.

    "I really enjoy listening because you emphasize the well-being of both students and teachers . . . I think it's easy to forget that you are also a person as a teacher and that you need to take care of yourself; you have to do a really good job of prioritizing that."

    Allie, Educator

  • Zach smiling in a classroom.

    "Unions are going to support changes and programs that make student’s lives better and teacher’s lives better - no one loses there - when working people win, everybody wins."

  • Dr. Time Slekar wearing glasses and in front of a mic.

    “The [teacher] exodus is really an indication of demoralization because teachers no longer are able to have that agency: to enact human connection, to bring out & help learning, to help engagement, to make a better system.”

    Dr. Tim Slekar, Executive Director of Education Studies at Muskingum University and co-host of BustEd Pencils

  • Katerina smiling wearing a brown dress.

    “Listening to 'Educators Amplified' was the first time that I felt like, 'Oh look at this, look at all these people who see, think, and feel the same things that I do. And we’ll be damned if we're gonna be pushed out of this job that we believe in, that we love, and that we want to do above all else'.”

    Katerina, Educator

  • “What does education liberated from schooling look like when you center children's rights?”

    Dr. Johnny Lupinacci, Associate Professor at Washington State University and co-host of BustEd Pencils

  • Heather wearing a pink shirt and grey jeans in front of a tv screen.

    “. . . Teachers are the answer, but I fear that so many warriors are retiring early, leaving the profession altogether, or are exhausted and disenfranchised that we will not longer be able to put up a fight - unless we get more educators and supporters energized - which is exactly what Educators Amplified is doing!”

    Heather, Educator

  • Dr. Michael Fullan smiling wearing a black jacket and white button up shirt.

    “We don't want to teach kids to be good at a bad game.”

    Dr. Michael Fullan, Author, Speaker, Educational Consultant

  • Ted Kraig in a black jacket and wearing a blue shirt inside.

    “We've got to get to flatter organizations ... where the people doing the teaching and the people who are doing the learning are empowered.”

    Ted Kraig, WEAC Uniserv Director

  • A mic and headphones.

    "I love your podcast! There is a sense of positivity, hope, and unity; even when you're talking about hard topics. You’re redirecting my thinking, making me focus, and I'm becoming more aware. There is so much usable information!”
