S3 Episode 6: Beth Lewis on Save Our Schools Arizona
Arizona educators are organizing and mobilizing. The Grand Canyon state is now known for having the lowest teacher pay in the nation and questionable public-school funding. Save Our Schools (SOS) Arizona is an organization created to communicate the impact of education on the future of our state. Today, Angelia and Mary chat with “3Ps in a Pod” guest, Beth Lewis. The Tempe educator shares why she and a group of bold individuals banded together to create SOS. What first began as a movement to fight school vouchers has become a community for those looking to take a stand for the teaching profession. Listen to learn more about education policy in Arizona and how you can do your part to make a difference.
Being an educator in the 21st century is indescribably complex. There’s a constant pressure to meet standards and help students achieve, but there’s also a need to allow learners to color outside the lines in an effort to prompt creativity. To support educators along the continuum, the Center developed “3Ps in a Pod” to further dissect practice, policy, and passion in the field of education.
