    The Teacher Collaborative Podcast is back, with Season 7! In the 2024 educational landscape, there is no shortage of debates swirling around the field. We hear about book banning and AI, standardized testing and the state of the field. We hear reports, read articles, and see teachers mentioned in the headlines. But, what we don’t hear is what teachers themselves have to say about these issues.

    In Season 7, we’ll hear teachers’ takes on the hottest topics in education right now, and center teacher voices in the conversation for a change. Tune in as teachers from across the state dialogue with each other, share their perspectives, learn from their peers, and ensure that teacher voices, perspectives, and ideas are reflected in the hottest conversations being had in education right now.
