Are you ready to go back to school? More importantly, are you ready to get back to education and learning? Dr. Johnny and Producer Jess talk about all it takes to get back into a learning space where each learner feels valued, respected, and ready to participate. Dr. Johnny walks us through the most important steps in preparing to lead a class: checking in on yourself as the teacher. He shares some of the rituals and texts that help him start school sessions on a strong foot. Centrally, he focuses on reviewing the Rights of the Child and those good core democratic values we highlight every day on Busted Pencils.
