#172: Raise Your Voice: Why Educators can't Stay Silent with Carla Ward

Adva

The education system is far from perfect. We suck it up and make it the best experience for our students. But what happens when we start using our voices?  Our voices become a ripple effect, no matter what age we teach. Change can start to happen within education, all because we spoke up. 

Today, I have the incredible Carla Ward on the podcast talking about why it is CRITICAL for educators to speak out and stop staying silent. 

Carla a passionate Early Childhood Educator with over 20 years of experience in the profession. She’s the founder of Early Learning Foundations, where she supports educators through workshops, consulting, and professional development resources that empower them to thrive in their careers.

3 KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • You don't have to be loud and extroverted to speak up
  • Raising our voices can change the negative rhetoric there is around teaching, specifically early childhood education
  • You aren't going to be everyone's cup of tea and that's OKAY!
