The Challenges Facing Teachers
On this episode of The Middle, we ask: what are the biggest challenges facing teachers today? From burnout and budget cuts to the rise of AI in the classroom and the persistent threat of school shootings, educators are navigating a growing list of complex issues that can make it harder to help every student succeed. Jeremy is joined by Hechinger Report editor and writer Jill Barshay and Kurt Russell, a high school history teacher in Oberlin, Ohio, who was named the 2022 National Teacher of the Year. As always, we hear from listeners across the country to get your perspective on the state of education and the challenges facing teachers today. #Teachers #Education #Teaching #TeacherBurnout #SchoolSafety #EducationPolicy #ArtificialIntelligence #AIInEducation #PublicEducation #K12Education #SchoolShootings #ClassroomChallenges #TeacherLife #FutureOfEducation #TheMiddle #JillBarshay #KurtRussellTeacher #NationalTeacherOfTheYear #HechingerReport #JeremyHobson
