Hi Pushing Podcasts followers 🍎
I know it’s been awhile. I hope to get season 3 going soon. You can listen to my interview on @SciEdPod
discussing how I teach Social Justice Science Issues in my classroom in the meantime.

[Nina Hike @ninahike06]

Thank you Dan and Sam @SciEdPod
for allowing me to share how I teach Social Justice Science Issues to my students @GWCPWarriors in @ChiPubSchool. I want my students to use the science they learned to transform their Chicago neighborhoods👩🏾‍🔬🍎

It was an honor to be a member of Mayor Johnson’s education subcommittee and participate as a CTU member in writing and voting on contract proposals. We are in alignment with CPS 5-year plan. Let’s work together to provide the schools and communities Chicago deserves.

“Why isn’t this an opportunity to settle a contract that represents the fullness of the vision of the district?
Why not use our time to create political will to change how revenue comes to Chicago Public Schools?”

Absolutely correct, Randi. And it’s unAmerican. Enough.
