42. Hey Teachers, You Are Fierce!

Mary Powers has been teaching for over two decades but started her professional journey as a child therapist before becoming a powerful English teacher.

Mary, who graduated from Harvard University, says her goal is to create safety as she cultivates that kind of intellectual play with her students where no idea is off limits.

In this conversation, Mary explains how teaching has been politicized with often confusing and threatening messages for teachers. Mary also gives advice for teachers about how to bring the love and energy they first brought to the job.
