In this episode, we hear Amanda’s story and what called her to teach. Amanda says that “teaching is life” because of all the real world connections and lessons a teacher can impart on students. She also says that the impact of a teacher can stay with us forever as we acquire new lenses through which to see the world. Amanda is a middle school band director and explains how music is healing and helps young people to process the world around them. She wants her students to be happy with who they are, how they have grown and to realize that they are enough for themselves and the world. Amanda truly communicates the “arts from the heart” and the need for more funding and support. Finally, she invites all policymakers, legislators and business leaders to come talk to the “experts” (ie-teachers) and spend time in their classrooms to see what teaching is really like! Amen, Amanda!
