EP 9 PCTA's FYRE Podcast 3-27-23
Season 1, Episode 6139, Mar 27, 2023, 08:43 PM
In this episode, we're joined by two HCTA teachers, Emily Griest (she/her) and Nicole Teagarden (she/her), to discuss the harmful impact of the "do it for the kids" mentality on teacher burnout and the exacerbation of the teacher shortage crisis.
We delve into what this mentality entails and why it is detrimental to teachers' wellbeing and job satisfaction. We also explore how state, district, and administration's actions in circumventing or exploiting class size amendment laws add to the complexity of a teacher's job. Lastly, we provide a call to action, discussing the physical and mental consequences of the frustration and stress resulting from large class sizes and how unions can use this to channel productive organizing techniques. #PCTA #FYRE #teachers #pinellasteachers #pinellas #tampabay #radio #radiostpete
