About this listen
In this episode, we explore the barriers that traditional teacher certification processes create, preventing passionate, talented individuals from entering the classroom. Joined by Maya, an experienced educator who transitioned from progressive private schools to traditional public education, we discuss how expensive degrees, unpaid student-teaching requirements, and rigid credentialing systems exclude gifted mentors. We ask critical questions about what genuinely qualifies someone to teach, share stories from personal experiences, and consider alternative pathways that prioritize connection, empathy, and true effectiveness over formal qualifications.
Reflect on your most impactful teacher: what truly made them great? Share your stories and thoughts with us by emailing info@fourwindslearningcollective or reaching out on social media. Let’s continue the conversation about reimagining what qualifies someone to teach and mentor effectively.
