Ep 50. What is it Like to Teach in the US?

Episode 50 🎉

I can't believe we are at the half century mark! It's wild this podcast is still going!

To celebrate this milestone, I chat with Melody McAllister, Event & Community Marketing Specialist at none other....Spaces! Our proud sponsors!

Melody worked as an elementary teacher for about 14 years in Garland Texas. She was recipient of the  Garland NAACP Educator of the Year Award and author of a book called I’m Sorry Story, a children's book about taking responsibility for mistakes and making sincere apologies

On this episode, we take a deep dive into what it's like to teach in the United States. I ask her about:

Differences in Canadian vs U.S Education (ie. Curriculum, Unionization, Training, Job Market etc)Safety in the Classroom - Is every teacher afraid of the gun laws in America?Compensation  - How much do teachers get paid?

and so much more! This was an intense conversation and I loved it. You'll love Melody's energy.

Go check it out!
